<-- Back to Part I

The Groove Tube (1974)
Director: Ken Shapiro
Starring: Ken Shapiro, Chevy Chase, Richard Belzer, Lane Sarasohn


The Groove Tube was revolutionary at the time--an R-rated send-up of American television, complete with commercials. Surprisingly enough, it holds up today, albeit with the occasional slow-developing laugh that audiences would not have the patience for now. A lot of gratuitous nudity and drug references. One thing I never understood about The Groove Tube--it got away with male full frontal nudity, twice (with numerous examples of the female variety), and didn't get an X rating. One in particular is still shockingly funny: an upside down penis, poked through a cardboard back drop, with eyes painted on the testes, giving a public-service announcement on V.D. How did they get away with this in 1973 when they couldn't do it in 2000? Watch for pre-stardom Richard Belzer and Chevy Chase. Along with the then-burgeoning "National Lampoon" magazine crew (with future 80's teen flick czar John Hughes in its ranks), they laid the path for "Saturday Night Live".

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974)
Director: Michael Cimino
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, George Kennedy


As Senior Editor Kerry Douglas Dye has noted, any movie with George Kennedy can't be bad. When not continuing his Dirty Harry series or making really awful country-themed movies (like Every Which Way but Loose and Any Which Way You Can), Eastwood was doing quality work like Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Here he stars as Thunderbolt, a Korean war vet and traveling con man who, as the movie begins, flees the gun-firing Kennedy from a church pulpit, where he was posing a minister to fleece his flock. He nearly gets run over by a Corvette, driven by Lightfoot (Bridges), and thus starts their joy ride. Kennedy, a fellow war vet and con man, is chasing Eastwood because they have an old score to settle--the botched robbery of a bank, which they decide to try again. The movie is often hilarious, whether it details road freaks like the speed-crazed redneck with the tailpipe in his car’s back seat and a trunk full of live rabbits, or the funny interaction between the frumpy, angry Kennedy and free-spirited Bridges.

Beyond the Door (1974)
Director: Oliver Hellman (Ovidio G. Assonitis)
Starring: Juliet Mills


This movie scared the shit out of me at the time, mainly for its newspaper ad: a hideous picture of a woman's scowling face with those demonic yellow eyes, as more famously portrayed by Linda Blair in The Exorcist. Every day when I opened up the paper to the movie listings page, I'd see that face, and my imagination would run wild with fear, such was the horror I felt from all that demon shit. What was even worse when I saw this horrible Italian Exorcist rip-off: it starred Juliet Mills, famous as the sweet-natured nanny on the TV series "Nanny and the Professor". It was quite a trip to see her vomiting green shit, spinning her head and talking backwards Latin in a scratchy baritone. I imagine 70's Italian horror is a bizarre genre unto itself, one I've never delved into. This movie is unavaible on video.

Law and Disorder (1974)
Director: Ivan Passer
Starring: Ernest Borgnine, Carroll O'Connor


This one is unavailable on video. A great time piece of New York in the early 70's, with Carroll O'Connor and Ernest Borgnine playing two disgruntled Manhattanites who are tired of watching crime escalate in their neighborhood. So they form an auxiliary police group with other like-minded guys in the neighborhood to stop what they see as the deterioration of their home. There's one hilarious scene where a pot-smoking hippie repeatedly moans "fuck you" in response to everything an incredulous Borgnine says. This is mainly a comedy, but it has a very heavy ending that feels out of context. Thematically, Law and Disorder played it down the middle, recognizing that the men were clearly right to be alarmed at the state of their neighborhood, and expertly sending up their urban paranoia.

The Longest Yard (1974)
Director: Robert Aldrich
Starring: Burt Reynolds, Eddie Albert, Michael Conrad, Richard Kiel


Burt Reynolds had his own powerhouse industry of nothing but Southern movies throughout the 70's: Deliverance, White Lightning, W.W. and the Dixie Dance Kings, Gator and Smokey and the Bandit. There was a real greasy feel to these movies, and The Longest Yard also falls into this tradition, as Reynolds plays a bored Southern football star who goes recklessly driving with his girlfriend's Camaro (with Skynyrd's "Saturday Night Special" blasting on the radio), gets arrested and thrown in jail. But not just any jail--this one has a champion football team lead by the sadistic guards, and the warden, played by the oily Eddie Albert, wants Reynolds to field a team of inmates to play the guards. Of special note are the black transvestite cheerleading squad at the big game and Bernadette Peters as the warden's hot-to-trot but creepy secretary.

The Lords of Flatbush (1974)
Director: Martin Davidson, Stephen F. Verona
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Henry Winkler, Perry King


Lords of Flatbush can be seen as the darker, more urban side of American Graffiti. This was a big trend in the mid-70's, to look back fondly on the 50's, as demonstrated by the long, massive success of "Happy Day"s. And who do we have here? Henry Winkler, pre-Fonzie, playing an un-Fonzie like wimpy greaser in a gang of Brooklyn hoods led by pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone. The plot was the usual tripe, and I can't even remember it. Back-to-back with The Wanderers (1979), which took place in the Fordham section of the Bronx, one can get an interesting take on outer-borough New York life in the late-50's. Both movies were vastly eclipsed by the popularity of Grease, which is a shame.

Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Director: Brian De Palma
Starring: Paul Williams, William Finley, Jessica Harper


Musical satire, and rock soundtracks, got no better than Phantom of the Paradise. William Finley plays Winslow Leach, an aspiring (and nerdy) singer/songwriter who fails an audition for megalomaniacal music impresario Swan (played by the dwarfish and then hugely popular Paul Williams), but catches Swan's ear with selections from his rock opera. Swan steals them, has Leach disposed of, and plans to turn Leach's songs into a new rock opera that will take the music world in a whole new direction. The only problem is, after a nasty accident where he gets his face stuck in a hot vinyl record press and falls into the East River, Leach lives and turns himself into the Phantom to haunt the theater where Swan will stage his opera. It's the old Phantom of the Opera story crossed with Faust and Ziggy Stardust.

The real story here is the soundtrack, written entirely by Williams, which is a great mix of glitter rock, Beach Boys doo wop, and 70's ballads, all performed by the cast. Of special note is Gerrit Graham as Beef, the effeminate glitter rock star who turns hunky with a guitar and meets an electrifying end. Williams is also excellent as the evil impresario who sold his soul to rock and roll.

Mandingo (1975)
Director: Richard Fleischer
Starring: Ken Norton, Susan George, James Mason, Perry King


Whatever plot there is in this yarn about plantations and slavery, forget it. Mandingo will always be remembered for having a strapping black buck going full-on with a white woman, namely heavyweight boxer Ken Norton and the sassy Susan George. This was heavy duty stuff at the time that was bound to bring out the racist in many white viewers. Never mind that Perry King got his groove on with a black woman--it just didn’t have the same visceral effect. (This might not have been the case if they had cast George Kennedy; then again, George Kennedy fucking anybody would be a shocking sight.) I also recall the startling slave-trading scene, where a powerful-looking Norton has his privates groped by a slave-owning granny. Dino De Laurentiis (who also produced Lipstick, Flash Gordon and King Kong among many others) was behind this one, and seeing his name in the 70’s assured one of a campy good time. Mandigo also deserves credit as a period piece leading the way for Alex Haley’s profoundly important 1977 mini-series, "Roots". But, buddy, Mandingo ain’t no "Roots".

Death Race 2000 (1975)
Director: Paul Bartel
Starring: David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone


This movie warped my fragile little mind back in 1975. As with The Exorcist, I saw it far too early in life. Here we are, in the year 2000, and, well, the movie wasn't quite right with its predictions, but it wasn't far off via current trends like professional wrestling and extreme sports. The big sport in America in the movie is the Death Race, a nationally-televised, cross-country race where the drivers score points for how many people they run over, with small children and senior citizens representing bonuses. Carradine stars as Frankenstein, the legendary dark hero dressed in black with a mask, who has survived numerous flaming crashes. His main competition is Machine Gun Joe Viterbo, played brilliantly by the eminently greasy Sylvester Stallone. All along, the racers are being knocked-off by a mysterious underground movement trying to overthrow the violence-prone, fascist government of America. Plenty of violence, dark humor and even a little T&A--what more could a lad ask for?

Cooley High (1975)
Director: Michael Schultz
Starring: Glynn E. Turman, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs


Cooley High was sort of a black American Graffiti--and very well done. Turman and Hilton-Jacobs (who would go on to greater glory as Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington in "Welcome Back, Kotter") play high school friends in Chicago in the early 60's, encountering all the pitfalls and joys of boyhood. (One particularly funny scene finds a monkey in the zoo throwing shit at them.) This is different from American Graffiti in that it also chronicles the more harsh realities a black kid in the city dealt with when he ran afoul of bullies, which leads to the movie's tragic ending. I recall feeling genuinely moved by Cooley High at the time, but haven't seen it in years. The lead character, as played by Turman, aspired to be a writer, which led to the creation of the TV series "What's Happening", with the only connection being that character, as the series took place in Los Angeles in the 70's.

Lisztomania (1975)
Director: Ken Russell
Starring: Roger Daltrey, Paul Nichols


Ken Russell has made some really bad, albeit highly campy movies in his time--Tommy and Lair of the White Worm come to mind. Listzomania is a movie Russell may not mind having his name on, but Roger Daltrey must be in hell knowing copies of this movie still exist. Listzomania is an impressionistic take on the life of 19th-century composer Franz Liszt. Only I wouldn't imagine Mr. Liszt had fantasy sequences where he gleefully rode a gigantic penis while wearing a dress. Daltrey is pretty bad here, although he fits the role Russell had in mind for him, i.e., to portray Liszt as a rock star in his time. This was a popular folly of the 70's, to imagine that rock stars of today were interchangeable with "wild" classical composers (like Tom Hulce as Mozart). Yes, we were screwed up in the 70's--then again, no worse than a bunch of deluded 90's rap clowns posing in the same style of the infamous "Great Day in Harlem" photo of important jazz artists from earlier in the century.

The Bad News Bears (1976)
Director: Michael Ritchie
Starring: Walter Matthau, Tatum O'Neill, Vic Morrow, Jackie Earl Haley


Not just being in the Little League at the time but on one of the worst teams, I felt a special kinship to The Bad News Bears, which hit close to home with its portrayal of obnoxious coaches and parents bullying kids into living out their baseball dreams. Walter Matthau was brilliant as Buttermaker, the drunken has-been who turned to pool cleaning in Los Angeles after his Minor League baseball career ended. As Amanda, the tomboy pitcher, Tatum O'Neal got her only other big role after winning an Oscar for Paper Moon. Also of note is Jackie Earle Haley as the juvenile delinquent who turns out to be the best player in the league. (When the other kids first speak of him, one of the Mexican kids blurts out, "El Diablo!") Much more than a kid's sports movie, it nailed the hypocrisy of organized sports for children and delved into the general pettiness of childhood. And avoid any sequels--they're all terrible.

Mother, Jugs and Speed (1976)
Director: Peter Yates
Starring: Billy Cosby, Harvey Keitel, Raquel Welch


Bringing Out the Dead anyone? Years before this recent Scorsese flick, Mother, Jugs and Speed delved into the world of ambulance drivers, and not as tritely as the title may suggest. Cosby starred as Mother, the big-hearted pro of the company. Welch was Jugs, derogatorily named after her beautiful tits, and Keitel was Speed, a deposed cop/Vietnam Vet looking for a new start. This was as a vehicle for Cosby to keep pace as a movie star (Uptown Saturday Night and Let's Do It Again, both with Sidney Portier, were good movies and hits) aside from his Saturday morning TV show ("Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids"--the only lunch box I remember owning). It was also a nice way to ogle the incredibly beautiful Welch, who was cruising on The Three Musketeers and her smash TV movie, "K.C. Bomber", where she played a roller-derby queen. Keitel seemed a little lost in this comedy, but it didn't do him any harm.

Car Wash (1976)
Director: Michael Schultz
Starring: Ivan Dixon, Bill Duke, Antonio Fargas, George Carlin, Franklin Ajaye


Car Wash is a "day in the life" of the workers in a downtown Los Angeles car wash. A movie this sweet couldn't possibly be made today. The white characters (like Carlin as a cab driver, or Richard Brestoff as the nebbish son of the car-wash owner quoting Mao and ingratiating himself with the black workers) would have their identities subverted or constantly derided so the producers could sell the movie under the guise of "hiphop culture"--mainly to white kids who lap this shit up and don't know they're being manipulated. The troubled ex-con, played brilliantly by Bill Duke, would be made into an in-your-face anti-hero today, rather than the angry/vulnerable man he was in 1976. The beauty of Car Wash is that it had a mostly black cast, but the other members (an Indian, a Latino and a few whites) maintain their own identities, and get along without being too insulting. Gee, what a concept; what's happened to it in the past 24 years? Is Bill trying to point out how exploitative and pandering film makers have become with a genre like this? Imagine that. (Watch for a pre-"thirtysomething" Melanie Mayron, pre-nose job and built like a brick shithouse, as the owner's secretary.)

The Car (1977)
Director: Elliot Silverstein
Starring: James Brolin, a black sedan, Kathleen Lloyd


Horror flicks in the 70's got no worse than The Car (unless we're talking Michael Caine in The Hand), although automotive terror was done much better a few years earlier with Steven Spielberg's "Duel", and a few years later with Stephen King/John Carpenter's Christine. Call it Jaws on wheels. James Brolin is a small-town sheriff who quickly comes to realize that a mysterious black sedan with shaded windows is trying to run over everyone in town. Whether it's giant ants, a killer shark, alligators or snakes, it's the same old story of man vs. freak of nature, although this is more man vs. manmade product imbued with pure evil. Noteworthy scene: Kathleen Lloyd gathering her schoolkids in a cemetery and noticing that the car can't run them over because they're on hallowed ground. She then proceeds to taunt the car with slurs as it sits on the edge of the cemetery, revving its engine in anger. Name calling is hallowed behavior? I pray this is unavailable on video. [Editor's note: recently release in widescreen DVD(!)]

One on One (1977)
Director: Lamont Johnson
Starring: Robby Benson, Annette O'Toole


Ah, Robby Benson! If you didn't live in the 70's, you won't understand how huge this teen heart throb was in his time. A list of his other achievements: Ode to Billy Joe, Ice Castles, Walk Proud, Tribute, The Chosen and Running Brave, to name a few. The plot never mattered in his movies, so long as his Tiger Beat fans could gaze longingly into those big, puppy-dog eyes as he saved the day and won over the girl of his dreams. In One on One, he played a high-school basketball star encountering the pitfalls of major college sports as he runs into a coach who hates him, teammates who are just as good as or better than he is, and, sigh, a lovely, bright tutor played by Annette O'Toole, who's tired of dating her snooty, jock-hating, grad-school boyfriend and can't help falling in love with Robby, the dumb jock with a heart of gold. If nothing else, One on One had some groovy songs on the soundtrack by the then-enormous Seals and Crofts.

The Choirboys (1977)
Director: Robert Aldrich
Starring: Charles Durning, Perry King, James Woods, Louis Gosset, Jr., Don Stroud


Based on a Joseph Wambaugh novel, The Choirboys didn't know if it wanted to be a comedy or a drama. Yes, I know of the word "dramedy"--but this movie is literally schizophrenic with either very funny or very serious scenes and feels too choppy as a result. Charles Durning stars as Sperm Whale, an obnoxious-but-friendly cop on the verge of making his pension, which he won't if he keeps holding "choir practices"--drunken parties he periodically throws every few weeks that often turn rowdy. One such session leads to a troubled, Vietnam Vet cop (played by Stroud) having a flashback and accidentally shooting a gay man prowling at night in a park. Ha ha funny? Hardly. Yet, The Choir Boys was positioned as such and stiffed as a result. Of special note: the always intriguing Burt Young as Scuzzi. This movie is unavailable on video.

Slap Shot (1977)
Director: George Roy Hill
Starring: Paul Newman, Michael Ontkean, Strother Martin


Meant as a commentary on the violence of pro hockey as best exemplified by Philadelphia's "Broad Street Bullies" of the mid-70's, Slap Shot has since become a classic among hockey fans, especially for the Hansen Brothers, three young horn-rimmed weirdoes, reluctantly hired by the coach played by Newman, who turn out to be demons on the ice, while they play with Matchbox cars in their hotel room. Ontkean, a few years before he and Harry Hamlin shared the first on-screen gay kiss in Making Love, stars as the only player on the team with real talent and no compulsion for violence. Newman is excellent as the aging player/coach who knows he's a sham, but recognizes he has to be to stay alive, as the factory in their dying rust belt town is about to close down and force the dissolution or selling of his team. Sports movies get no better than this.

I am looking for a title to a movie I saw as a kid and I just remember a small part at the end. The movie has to do with rebellious teenagers and the parents are having a meeting at the school on what to do. The kids chain the parents in the school and start lighting some cars on fire in the parking lot. Then at the end the kids are being taken to prison or somewhere on a bus and they drive under a bridge and some other kids which maybe didn't get caught are waving to them as they get taken away. I know that is not much to go on, but someone has to know what movie this is. I think it was made in the 70s. Thanks for your help.

I cannot remember this movie title and have very little to go on. Please help if you can.
Two brothers (i think) are driving somewhere and pick up a female hitchiker. They are in a convertible. Whatever town they are driving through has a violent murder/event that causes the local police to chase them and accuse them. They run, the girl gets her ear shot off, they are in a river or lake at the time... it's EARLY 70's stuff. I seen it at the drive-in. And I'm pretty sure Jim Dandy was party of the soundtrack. I want to say the title may have had Mason Dixon in it...but maybe not. Thank you so much. I have exhausted all my resources.

I have this movie that I watched when I was a little girl in Bush Alaska. It is about this little girl who does not know that she is the next queen/heir. I remember some scenes and I know that the movie was like fantasy/adventure. There was one scene where a little kid was being chased be a panther or some kind of big wild cat on a beach and luckily find a rick with a cave where they managed to escape. Then there was another scene where there was a line of ladies that were trying on a jewel that was inserted in the naval and if it did not fall out of the ladies belly button she was the real queen. Well this girl finally got the courage to try it on in the end of the movie and she became the true queen. Help me I cannot remember! Major Brian fart!

A film or TV movie - not sure.

A family move to an old house with a lake /river running near by. An old woman lives next door I think. A child with blond hair I think, dissappered many years before. The family who move in there - see glimpses of a spirit in mirrors and in the water in the river.

The old woman has ever got over the dissappearance I think. One of the children fall in the water at one point and nearly rowns but the spirit helps them somehow?

Towards the end we find out that the girl who dissappeared is not dead - that her and a group of her freinds had gone into the forest - perhaps in old ruins of a church?, chanted a song in a circle around her and a bell of some sort fell down? The rest of her freinds ran away when it happened and never spoke of it again and they felt very guilty. At the end of the film - the same friends - now adults - reenact this to release the girl - chanting again around the fallen bell. I think the girl reappears or is released. I saw this when I was very young 5 to 7ish so parts of it may be confused. I have tried to find out it's name for years but with no success.

I am looking for the titles of a couple of French films that were released in the US sometime in the mid-70's.

The story line has two young lovers running away to the french horse country where they live in an abandoned farm house atthe end of the first film the girl has a baby just as they are found by the authorities. The second film starts out with them in Paris, she is attending the University while he works in a meat plant to support the three of them.

A couple move into this old house, and the woman keeps seeing/hearing thinks when the lights are off, like little dwarfs or demons running around. The fireplace has something to do with it, in the end they think they get rid of the creatures but somebody ends up getting dragged down into the bowels of the house through the fireplace or the walls or something.

Scared the dickens out of me. Any help with a title would be appreciated.

I saw a short story in the 1970s that I think was based on an Ambrose Bierce short story. It was about a man whose wife just died. They lived in a cabin far in the woods, and he couldn't bury her until the morning. That night, a cougar comes into the cabin. The man shoots and misses the cougar. In the morning, he wakes up to see the tail of the cougar in his dead wife's mouth. She protected her husband, even in death.

in this movie, italian (I presume), the protagonist is a funny looking guy with a big moustache which becomes a cartoon in the middle of the story. First his hands, then his legs, his body and his head. I remember the character being a cartoonist (the irony of the story). I remember the movie being a comedy, but I remember nearly nothing of the plot. Thanks for any help

I noticed a few people who have enquired on the name of a late night cult movie of the 70's featuring a rock band who solves mysteries. Some said the lead singer was a blonde hottie. I myself have been struggling for the past year to figure out the name or a place to get more info. After reading some of the request on over the edge, I was able to piece enough information to find what I was seeking, from other sites. The name of the movie is Night of the Full Moon aka Rock-A-Die Baby featuring Kim Milford who happen to be the lead singer of the Jeff Beck Group back in 1972.(the only albums recorded with Kim Milford, unfortunately were bootlegs) There is another movie that featured this same cast with the addition of Brooke Adams, not sure if it was a sequel or not. The movie was call Song of The Succubus. I believe toward the end of this movie there is a dude who ends up dying from electrocution on a billboard sign. I've tried finding a place to order it on dvd or buy on vhs but all I get are dead ends. I hope this has helped those who were racking their brains trying to figure it all out.

I saw a movie in the 70's that was kinda wierd that I'd like to find. The story line was that a Father who was a doctor fakes his young daughter's kidnapping right after his Wife has died in order to get money from his Father in Law. He has his Daughter hidden in his medical office for the weekend but makes the grandfather believe she is buried somewhere and running out of oxygen. At one point they go to the open grave of doctor's dead wife and look in to see a doll that the doctor has dressed in his daughter's clothes which freaks out the kid's grandfather who then has a heart attack on the spot, says something like "I found my Granddaughter in the grave of my Daughter" before he keels over dead into the grave himself. If anyone can tell me the name of this movie and ease my mind from feeling I dreamed this wack-job scenario, I would appreciate it!! Thanks!

About that time my local TV channel put a message across the TV saying due to content they could not play the rest of the movie. I checked IMDB and can't figure out if any of the 'Fortress' movies were this one. I'm pretty sure it was not a U.S. movie. My guess is the movie would have been made in the 60's.

In the meantime, there is something strange in the pidgeon coop on the rooftop, which was full of appliances. Turns out, the noises came from little aliens who were eating the appliances. With the aliens help, the tenents managed to fight the real estate developer and keep their building intact. The office park was just built around them!

The weapon was left behind by aliens. The weapon was a device that the guy wore on his arm. The weapon also has a power-source necklace that alters the guy's genetic code, which causes him to morph into a zombie-like creature at night. The guy does use the weapon to get even with bullies.

It seems unlikely, since the movie is from the 80's, and the song is from the 90's.

I Watched the Movied Last night and, thought I heard, for sure, The Genesis (Phil collins) song, "I Can't Dance" in this Soundtrack. I cannot locate a source to answer my question. HELP

I have very vague memories of this movie but I cannot seem to shake it out of my mind, but I really doubt I'll ever find it and see it again to put and end to my unrest. Still, I'll try and see if someone can help me.

The movie is about a blonde haired guy in the suburbs that gets teased by the popular guys. He finds a special weapon that aliens left on the earth. He puts this weapon on his forearm and fires it and it makes this weird sound I've never ever heard since (which also bugs me).

As the guy goes around shooting things with this weapon, he starts changing. He starts looking like a KISS rockstart (with the face paint) and he looks pretty scary. Anyway, there's this scene with him with his hands up in the air and he's jumping because he's happy he found this weapon and feels I guess he can get revenge on those guys that tease him.

If someone has any ideas, please let me know the title of this film or if you can tell me more about the plot. This will help me a lot! Thanks!!!
