Your favorite movies from 1980 and earlier......

The Graduate ..

 

I like mob movies. All the way back to White Heat. But the Godfather movies are overrated, overly long and slow. And I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I saw it at age 13, drunk as *V{<!, sitting on the oak branch which overhung the drive-in wall

And puked. Dunno if it was the flying thing, swimming pool, or the Jack Daniels. Ima guess the Jack.

 

It is a bizarre flick. I was about 13 when I first saw it also. I wasn't drunk though!

 

I watched it just for the 'Cuda. Decent horror flick.

 

Oh yeah, the back woods love affair movie.

 

They made movies before 1980? Did they have sound?

 

Yes. Some were even in color.

 

Eraserhead.

 

How did you watch them without a VCR or Betamax?

 

They were beamed to the big Philco and received with rabbit ears.

 

No,youre not the only one. The godfather movies put me to sleep,they are so long,slow and drawn out......then all that slow jazzy sounding music. Pure snoozefest

 

I'm with you guys. Three freaking hours, for crying out loud.

 

I don't think I have seen this one posted yet.

Absolutely bored the living shit out of me.

I'm just not fond of any movie with a Fonda in it.

 

Seven pages and no Chinatown? Holy shit.

Wait, what? If not the aforementioned Twelve Angry Men, then certainly Grapes Of Wrath.
No accounting for taste I guess.
