70'sFilm

If you don't know that the 70's are back by now, you must not get out much. Even people in Erie are embracing those iconic 70's threads...oh. Never mind. They just haven't changed their style in thirty-five years. Anyways, I've decided to celebrate this marvelous decade's revival by watching all the greatest films from the era. In preparation, I suggest watching the documentary A Decade Under the Influence. It's AMAZING. It really makes you appreciate the art that came out of a decade which is so often dismissed with thoughts of bell bottoms and disco balls. The blockbuster studios were at once pushed aside by a new brand of unconventional, offbeat and creative pictures. It was a wonderful win for the avant garde who seized the attention of the rapidly evolving American audience. Alas, with the dawn of the 80's, blockbusters once again took hold and there has yet to be such a beautiful rebirth of the vanguard in mainstream culture since. But one can always hope, and after all, at least we can relive each moment, one film at a time.

I've seen pink. Must see blue. May re-watch some pink.
I'll let you know how they are.
