Recommend some great 70s sci-fi/horror films?

[Mr.Krusher]

AWESOME stuff guys - keep them coming!

Mikey - "The Car" ? I'm guessing a Christine/Maximum Overdrive type of deal?

Mazinz - Awesome man - many of those sound like the ideal cheese.

TheDoLittle - "Flesh Gordon", eh? You might be surprised to learn that I'm not only a FAN of the film, but that my ex-wife and I also had bit-parts in it! It's true - she played the character 'Ivanna Cox' and I played 'Space
Colonel Angus' ! Its true!

:

You've never seen The Car ?

That's a must ... (made before Christine and Maximun Overdrive)

About an evil car driving around New Mexico running over people.

Brolin is the local sherif of a small town it's happing in.

[babycyclops]

Well, keeping with stuff that hasn't been mentioned yet, howsabout:
Squirm
Starcrash (fantastic post Star Wars Italian space opera)
I Drink your Blood
Some more Italian Mad Max/Escape from New York ripoffs
Raiders of Atlantis
The New Barbarians
Bronx Warriors 1 & 2
Also another of my favorites
Street Trash(an 80's film, not for the squeamish or sensitive, but then... you asked!)

[Mr.Krusher]

"Street Trash"...LOL...leave it up to Dirty Jersey!

What about the scene where the cracked-out bozo gets his wang ripped off via a 'glory hole' in the fence?! LOL

'Street Trash' is the ONLY film that I have ever seen that depicts a MELTING hobo flushing HIMSELF down a TOILET - - it really is cinema gold!

'I Drink Your Blood' - wow - wasnt Olivier in that gem??

Mikey - for sure...I will be seeing that one.

I really like "I Drink your Blood" it's so damned over the top and that early synthesizer score just makes it unique.

[Mr.Krusher]

Speaking of synth and Moogs, what about 'The Goblins' ? Argento, Bava, Fulci, and Romero loved to use those guys - not as grating or as shrill as other scores, but they are great -

This score could easily be used for nearly any of the original Universal Monster films...

I'd actually like this played at my funeral - like Vincent joke at Bela's funeral: he suggested that they bury a stake in Bela's coffin, "just in case".

Haha! So many great scenes! I love it when the huge guy explodes, the cop puking on the guy.... so wrong.
Here's a deleted scene

Palitoy: I Drink your Blood is such a great artifact from the early 70's, post Charles Manson, flower children gone bad era.
Though I've never seen I Eat your Skin, that it was released alongside.

Oh yeah.... If you can, see the MST3K version. Same with “Parts: The Clonus Horror.”

>You've never seen The Car ?

Godzilla vs the Smog Monster

CTC - Some great suggestions - thanks!

BabyCyclops - That video you linked to? I'll have to contact Jimmy Muro - I NEVER consented to having my last house party FILMED!!

[palitoy]

The Deathmaster

Underrated movie, classic downer ending and the heroes GF is insanely cute IIRC.

[Mikey]

Kingdom of the Spiders starring the Shat

Also, Tales From the Crypt (the 70's movie)

Tales From the Crypt is one of my favorites - I only have a shoddy VHS copy though. It's been watched to death, the picture is lousy and so is the sound quality.


Those are GREAT stories with great actors - Grimsdyke's story made cry as a kid - those evil neighboors! Cushing is awesome as always - in this one playing a lonely and meek character.
That monotonous Christmas music, the set decor, the acting, the cast, the make-up, I love nearly everything about this film.

Just noticed it's on YouTube - its GREAT to see the quality video and audio!

In my opinion, this is VERY well done all around - Cushing really plays this with a natural understanding of the character:

(HOW he didnt get some sort of 'film award' for this picture I dont know - the scene when he is communicating with his wife is Oscar worthy in my opinion - he LOOKS like he is actually being used as a vessel! THATS acting folks.)

[torgospizza]

Sssssss and The Boy Who Cried Werewolf were favorites of mine as a kid in the '70s.

Another favorite that I mentioned on a previous thread:
Trilogy of Terror, with Karen Black
Also, though it was made in 1982
Q: The Winged Serpent...I love that film!

[fallensaviour]

Anybody mention Phantasm yet that was great.
