That's a great list, and the good news is that I've seen maybe 25% of them (the latest being Panic in Needle Park over the weekend) so I've got lots more to catch up with. A genre of which I'm very fond.    Posted:   Apr 24, 2017 - 6:01 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Nice to see my beloved Annie Hall and all those Hal Ashby films mentioned. Just looking over the titles of these films and remembering their atmosphere and what the social and political atmosphere must have been like in the U.S. (and probably many other places, as well) during the 1968-75 (give or take) period. Then, seeing the type of films from the 1980s that were the antithesis of 1970s cinema sometimes has me wondering if the earlier stuff even existed, such was the extreme with which movies turned, what with all the Spielberg and Lucas drivel (which I of course loved as a small child, but not so much by the time of my high school days). I identified more with the 1970s growing up rather than the 1980s. Same goes for much of the music and TV shows. (Born in '71, BTW). I'll have to watch NIGHT MOVES again this week.    Posted:   Apr 24, 2017 - 11:15 AM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) This is more or less a list of Subversive Seventies cinema.

I remember loving it when it was released theatrically. Recently TCM screened it and it plays as well today as it did back then. Carney is a washed-up private eye in 70s LA and the film reeks of disillusionment, but has a lot of humor. Great score by Ken Wannberg too.    Posted:   Apr 24, 2017 - 5:59 PM     By:   Timmer   (Member) I estimate that I've seen around 30% of that list. Any others that people think should be included?    Posted:   Apr 24, 2017 - 6:28 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) I estimate that I've seen around 30% of that list. Any others that people think should be included? I would like to do a cross reference between this MUBI list and my own list of favorites of this late 60s-early 80s era to see if any others like the above-mentioned The Late Show are missing. One film that I saw the other night which is not on the list but would be fitting is Who is Harry kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?    Posted:   Apr 24, 2017 - 6:30 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) I also don't remember seeing Man on a Swing on the list.    Posted:   Apr 24, 2017 - 8:41 PM     By:   Rollin Hand   (Member) I also don't remember seeing Man on a Swing on the list. And where is Harry in your Pocket?    Posted:   Apr 25, 2017 - 11:56 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) That’s a great list. Here are some of the lesser 70’s films in the same vein.

Here are some of the lesser 70’s films in the same vein. Good addition.    Posted:   Apr 28, 2017 - 5:50 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) The last couple of weeks I've been catching up on several 1970s films that in their time were probably viewed as "programmers" - Mr. Ricco, Man on a Swing, W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings, The Girl from Petrovka, etc., but now they come off as character-filled art films compared to today's popcorn movies!    Posted:   May 4, 2017 - 7:02 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) It's #254, but I'm pleased they remembered The New Centurions (1972). Great list. What a great time to be disillusioned: King and Kennedy, the Manson Family, Vietnam, Watergate, Altamont, Wilson and Heath, Munich '72, Hearst and the SLA, and the endless betrayals by government, big business, and yes, the counterculture. God, how I love it so.    Posted:   May 4, 2017 - 7:14 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) It's a bit late in the cycle, but I would submit Where the Buffalo Roam (1980).    Posted:   May 4, 2017 - 7:23 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) George Lucas saved us from all this depressing cynical dreck and made films "fun" again.    Posted:   May 4, 2017 - 7:37 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) George Lucas saved us from all this depressing cynical dreck and made films "fun" again. Please stay on topic and refrain fom threadkill comments like the one above. This is a thread about disillusionment in film, not brain dead, empty calorie garbage like Star Wars.    Posted:   May 4, 2017 - 7:44 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Did somebody mention STAR WARS!!??     Non-Film Score Discussion: Disillusionment in 70s American cinema    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
