My Personal Top 10 Movies from the 1970's--in no particular order

 I enjoyed doing this for the 80's, so I want to do it again! Again, this is my personal list, so if you see something you like or don't, that's not my problem!


Robin Hood


This movie just checks off all of the "YES" marks in my brain. We love a Mary Sue type of  character  who defeats whiny and inept bad guys. #JohnTheWORST


The Rescuers


I love everything about this movie. I also really love that it respects its child audience. Madame Medusa is one of the most terrifying Disney villains. The Swamp Folk are the best part of this, fight me.

Carrie


This is the only Stephen King I like (I don't like the man or most of his writing, sorry, NOT sorry, MISS ME with the Spooky Indian Burial Ground and the Magical Black person bullshit)(Side bar, how did he come out of 2020 unscathed? Like, seriously?!). Sissy Spacek should have gotten the Oscar that year for this role. This is one of the few times the "good for her" horror genre actually works.


Oliver and the Artful Dodger


Now, LOOK, I said this was MY top personal movies from the 1970's ("I didn't say it was YOUR laughing place, I said it was MY laughing place," et. al. ETC.). Hanna-Barbera Oliver Twist fanfiction AND it's a musical. Clumsy messages about bigotry (but they tried, okay), standard Hanna-Barbera stock characters, and some pretty great songs.


Star Wars: A New Hope


There is nothing that can or needs to be said about this. 25/10.


Pete's Dragon


I have nothing to really say about this movie, other than I am mad that in the Main Street Electric Parade, Pete is now played by a male actor and wears his school suit. 


Bedknobs and Broomsticks


This movie makes me miss my grandma. πŸ’”


Charlotte's Web


Incredible soundtrack,  deeply profound comments on love and sacrifice.

The Hobbit


This is the only Hobbit-related media that I like. I will not be accepting any comments at this time.

Jack Frost


I physically cannot handle how much this movie makes me cry.
