Just wanted to get some of your guys opinions as well! Thanks!

that list is pretty ESSENTIAL even though it's lacking the DEER HUNTER. is the point of the analysis to look at how the movie reflects american cultural norms of the 70's?

Yes, pretty much. We have to think about how our film "engages" with the period and what it reflects, but we have to tie it to class readings too (although, that shouldn't be hard since the course is on the 1970's so we have things like consumerism, Vietnam, Watergate, race/gender politics, etc.)

well Godfather is a period piece though it reflects a lot of concerns of the time. If I were you I'd go with Taxi Driver. Even though it's a very small and intimate story, it has a lot to say about 70's America

also it's like my favorite movie ever (:

I really want to go see Insidious 2, but I have no one to see it with. MY SCARY MOVIE BUDDY DITCHED ME FOR HER BOYFRIEND >:(

Eh, find a stream. I'll watch it with you over AIM and MST3K it the whole time.

I still need to watch the first one.

Finally watched the Collection after putting it off for days.

Loved it. I remember they showed it in the trailer, but the opening scene was so great. Reminded me of the opening scene of Ghost Ship.

THE GODDESS. it was an old silent from china, tcm aired it last night. actually incredibly moving story of a prostitute mother whose job keeps her son from being accepted. recommend!
