I do think the 70's was a great decade for films.

I was re-watching "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and "Dod Day Afternoon" today.

And that's just two great films from the 70's.

What a decade for film lovers.

1. Dog Day Afternoon happened on my b-day

Which happens to be this Weds. I always thought that was cool when I was a kid. But yeah, there were a lot of great films in the 70s.

Rocky

Carnal Knowledge

Serpico

3. My favorite part about 70s cinema is the film quality.

I don't know what it is, but it makes the films feel more real.

There is a dark/dingy quality that also makes the viewer feel down in the trenches of life.

7. I remember seeing Catch 22 in Luxembourg with my cousin....

Given the nature of the country, it was shown in English with French and German subtitles.

Marianne and I -- and the audience in general -- laughed our asses off at that one.

It was 1971.

On edit: And Marianne understood the move in English. Their foreign language skills are so far ahead of ours.
