Because of all the horror type options I doubt you wil pick this one.

But, my choice of a "must see" is Easy Rider.

I agree with Kathy. 2nd choice would be Over the Hill Gang

My Thoughts:
I been a bit curios about this title... heard a lot of good things about it over the years... so thought it was about time to check it out. According to IMDB this was  released in the US in July of '69. So I was about 2 months old at the time. So needless to say this movie is not one that portrays a time that I am really familiar with. While I did find it to be an interesting piece... it seemed more slow to me then anything else. I mean not so bad that it made it hard to watch. But it seemed like I was waiting forever for something to start happening. About an hour into it I realized this is not that type of movie... and stopped waiting for anything big to happen. And then the final moments of the movie hit... and I was like... huh? Where did that come from? This isn't a film I could see myself watch often... but I could see myself watching it again.

My Rating: 3.5/5

1970
Titles in BOLD are movies I never seen.
- Black Brigade
- Bloodthirsty Butchers
- Cry Blood Apache
- The Dunwich Horror
- An Evening with Edgar Allen Poe
- Flesh Feast
- How Awful About Allen
- Love Story
- M*A*S*H
- Beneath the Planet of the Apes
- Rio Lobo


Last year for this marathon I watched Love Story... which I gave a 3 star rating to. Hopefully this year's title will be a little better to me. But really don't have any idea what I am in the mood to see out of the above list.

I agree with Rio Lobo. Unless you want to run out and get Tora Tora Tora.

I post this thread on 3 different sites... and for I think the first time ever... it is unanimous on all 3 sites what movie I should watch. Which is enough to get my curiosity up. So guess I will have to watch Rio Lobo next! 

Though it probably won't be until tomorrow or the next day.

Easy Rider
This is the definitive counterculture blockbuster. Former clean-cut teen star Hopper's down-and-dirty directorial debut, Easy Rider heralded the arrival of a new voice in film, one pitched angrily against the mainstream. After Easy Rider's cross-country journey—with its radical, New Wave–style editing, outsider-rock soundtrack, revelatory performance by a young Jack Nicholson, and explosive ending—the American road trip would never be the same.

Topaz
The best-selling spy novel bursts onto the screen in this riveting story  of adventure and international intrigue.  John Forsythe stars as an American CIA agent who hires a French operative  (Frederick Stafford) to travel to Cuba and investigate rumors of Russian missiles and Topaz, a NATO spy.  The inquiry soon spins into a life-threatening escapade of espionage, betrayal and murder.

True Grit
In 1970, John Wayne earned an Academy Award for his larger-than-life performance as the drunken, uncouth and totally fearless one-eyed U.S. Marshal, Rooster Cogburn. The cantankerous Rooster is hired by a headstrong young girl (Kim Darby) to find the man who murdered her father and fled with the family savings. When Cogburn's employer insists on accompanying the old gunfighter, sparks fly. And the situation goes from troubled to disasterous when the inexperineced but enthusiastic Texas Ranger (Glen Campbell) joins the party. Laughter and tears punctuate the wild action in this extraordinary Western which features performances by Robert Duvall and Strother Martin.

Rio Lobo
A classic action-filled John Wayne western is set into motion with a spectacular robbery of a Union pay train by Confederate guerrillas. The train's colonel (Wayne) jails the enemy leaders (Jorge Rivero, Chris Mitchum) but the three men later become friends when the war ends. Together they seek the Union traitors responsible for a string of Confederate train robberies, a mission that culminates in a rousing shoot-'em-up finale.

'Rio Lobo' was the fifth collaboration over a 22-year period between John Wayne and the legendary director Howard Hawks.

I have watch and enjoyed these many times and purchased both on laser and dvd.

My Thoughts:
I went into this movie with rather low expectations. For one reason I never been much of a fan of Dane Cook. Though I did enjoy Good Luck Chuck quite a bit. Then there is Jessica Simpson. I have nothing against her... but I only seen her in a couple things before this so pretty unfamiliar with her. Though I never cared much for her looks... as I never was much for the blonde "barbie doll" type girls. So just looking at her don't impress me all that much. But I have had this odd curiosity about this movie since the first time I ever saw the trailer for it. So I was pretty happy when I got this one in the last box of free DVDs that was given to me. Surprisingly I enjoyed this one more then I thought I would. There was a good handful of laugh out loud moments... especially in the beginning. And even Dane Cook didn't bother me in this movie. I couldn't... and still can't see all the fuss over Jessica Simpson. But she did a pretty good job in this one. I kept going back and forth on how I wanted to rate this one... In the end it was enough fun to just barely get a 4 star rating, IMO.

My Rating: 4/5
