1970--1979 best of the year

one of the best films of the 70s,and a showcase for hackman, as real life newyork cop popeye doyle, who was involved with the french connection drugs bust of late 60s, which was a major thing. william friedkin directs with a great eye for the gritty, with a authentic newyork as a location, a great pace and a terrific look at a real life case and procedur, is popeye doyle a good man, hes flawed, but very interesting

i made him a offer he couldent refuse, classic dialogue, superb looking, deserves everything good thats said about it, in pacino, a star was discovered, even though godfather 2 is arguably better, it doesent work unless you got benefit of this first chapter, seeing a inocent young man come into a family of crime, is superbly done, brando, superb, also duvall, keaton and cann, all great, and the score, just haunting

classic woody allen, very funny indeed, more physical stuff here, as he bumbles about in the future, great phisical jokes and many great one liners, a first of many.

a spielberg classic, and very terryfying, maybe the reason i cant swim, spielbereg really is the master of suspence

scorsese and deniro step up a gear after mean streets and create a genuine classic of 70s cinema, deniro is travis bickle, a newyork cabbie and vietnam veteran, who drives the streets, just doing his job, but is sickend by what he sees going on, the crime rate, and the general state of the city, its here he eyes up betsy, played by cibil sheperd, a campaine worker, for palantine, a candidate campaighning for election, he gets to go on a date with her, but blows it by taking her to a pawn film, this adds to his personal problems, but he also meets iris a 12 year old prostitute working the city, he sees in iris whats wrong with the city and wants to help her out, but her pimp, played by harvey keitlel controls her life, these things that happen to him pushes him further into despair, as travis buys guns and gets into more desperation, its clear to him what hes gotta do, free iris, and assassinate palentine, as he ses he is no better, than any other politician,
deniro is suberb in this film, a really convincing portrayal of a man in possibly depression, this is why the 70s for me is the golden age, and with cities in america being at there most violent, it really helped film, and n.y york is a charactor in this film, you really see society and violence there in front of you, you dont get that in todays films, nothing looks more gritty than newyork films of the 70s, foster and keitel are also superb, and foster who was around 12 at the time is amazing, keurel reuniting with scorsese after mean streets, is good, scorsese shows the potential, that will cement his career, and wit later films like after hours bringing out the dead, goodfellas, and the departed, a great score as well by bernard herrman a great catchy main theme. my no 1 off all time, and along with goodfellas changed my viewing habits, and got me into proper films, please check this out

ah yes childhood memories, starwars is everything you want from fantasy sci fi, great charactors, great effects, writting needs a lot tobe desired but hey, when your 7 who cares, just go with the adventure, you said it chewi
