…………………………………………
My wife claims that I don’t like to sleep. It’s not true. I love sleeping, but it doesn’t come easy to me. So instead of running in my head the endless loop of the last election, I watch movies.
The buyer for my local library is a saint. I don’t know who it is, but he or she has a penchant for film noir, French dramas and films from the 1970s.
My favorite films over the last 6 months are those made in the 1970s. Unlike many movies of today — which are often remakes or sequels, comic books on film, or cheesy teen movies — the best films from the 1970s are true artistic expressions of their creators.
There are the obvious stand-out films from that era: The Godfather, Jaws, All the President’s Men, Three Days of the Condor, The Conversation, Chinatown, and many others. But I’ve discovered other exceptional films which are less celebrated, and I will be reviewing them as The Insomniac’s Movie Reviews. Here’s my first recommendation:
The King of Marvin Gardens (1972)
Rated 4 Ambien (out of 5) ****
It’s brave film-making: the first 10 minutes are a close-up on Jack Nicholson’s face. He sits in a darkened radio studio and tells stories. This is the story of Nicholson’s brother (played by Bruce Dern, father of actress Laura Dern), a small-time hoodlum who is both self-important and delusional. The dialogue is superb and reminiscent of Eugene O’Neill’s A Long Day’s Journey into Night. Indeed, because the story is propelled by dialogue, it has the feel of a play. Dern’s character travels with his lovers, Sally (Ellen Burstyn), and her flirtatious step-daughter, played by Julia Ann Robinson. The acting is phenomenal, and pained. Burstyn’s character is the aging lover who competes against her own step-daughter, an Oedipal mix which leads to murder. The film becomes increasingly surreal as the characters (except for Nicholson) lose their grip on reality. Nicholson is the bookish radio disc jockey who watches this threesome, like we watch them, at first bemused and then horrified.
In the clip below Sally (Ellen Burstyn), the spurned lover, communicates her feelings through self-destruction:

Great film. Paul Newman, R.I.P.
“Slapshot”! Another Paul Newman, George Roy Hill team up. IMO the funniest sports movie of all time.

Obama’s favorite movie is the Godfather…Why does that not surprise me
LMAO!
Tony Rezko as Vito Corleone, Bill Ayers as Tom Hagen, Rahm Emmanual as Sonny, and Barack Obama as Fredo.
That is delicious.
Oh perfect casting!
Who plays Michael Corleone?
that’s difficult, because I like Michael Carleone.
Soros?
Hmmmm, the lawyer who convinces himself he is a good guy but gets corrupted by those around him - not really his fault, mind you.
Now who could that be?
I have to say I am tired of movies being reviewed almost exclusively by men. In my medium-sized city there are 3 reviewers (the main newspaper and two free ones) and they are all guys. I once called a local radio show where they were being interviewed and asked why there were so few women reviewers, and if the physical requirements were just to tough. They laughed, but admitted this causes bias in the business. Just compare the adulation over the Godfather to the way that Doctor Zhivago has dropped off the radar screen. That is one of the most compelling, if difficult, stories and the movie is visually beautiful. In addition, the sound effects are powerful. Remember the branch tapping on the window after Yuri loses his mother? Or the thump of the iron when Lara is pressing the linens in the military hospital? This is repeated in a later scene when Yuri watches his pregnant wife ironing, right before he goes to tell Lara they have to stop seeing each other.
This movie is a wonderful love story, but also a great story of the Russian Revolution and the breakdown of society. In that way it is a lot like Gone with the Wind. For me this is the greatest movie I have ever seen. Each time I watch it I find some new perspective.
Forgot to add….today movies like Gone with the Wind and Doctor Zhivago would be panned for being too long and would also be dismissed as “chick flicks”.
The Godfather is a great movie with the unintended and unfortunate consequence that it romanticizes a really ugly and brutal subculture.
I’m Italian-American, I spent enough time in a part of the city that featured a fair sampling of wiseguys, trust me they don’t all look like Sonny Corleone or even John Gotti the dapper don.
But it’s not their looks that is the problem, it is that they are professional criminals.
Again, I’m not criticizing the movie, I think all the Godfather movies were great. Some of the audience took away the wrong message, I believe.
Wasn’t that Saddam Hussein’s favorite movie, too?
Obama can star in that 70’s hit
Hussein and Sons
I started staying up late watching old movies in high school and still do. Now it’s mainly on DVD with 35 mm restored prints and great sound. Back then it could be on B&W TV with a single earphone jack so my parents couldn’t tell I was up late on a school night. King of Marvin Gardens is a good choice and so is your quote from Chinatown. I would elect Five Easy Pieces to be the movie for Obama and Hillary’s relationship. In the movie, Jack N. mistreats Karen B. terribly and she’s always there, no matter what. He even left her in a motel room for two days because he didn’t respect her and himself enough to bring her to meet his family. Just saw that one not too long ago. Late night movies which are good are quite a balm to me. Instead of hearing Obama’s irritating speeches on TV constantly, I’ve found he is never shown on TCM. That’s wonderful!
My film education also began with an old B&W. The local broadcast channels would play great and strange movies. I became a fan of the Ma and Pa Kettle series at age 12.
Five Easy pieces — in a traffic jam — Jack climbs into the bed of a stopped pick-up truck and plays the piano in the back of the truck.
Lots of great movies from that era — not so many now — so many characters are being created that are impossible to even like.
As a good old boy American that clings to my bitter roots and still likes to drive big Hemi cars
Smokey and the bandit
I watched the original with neighbors this 4th of July. It was fun.
Sorry guys, I think the greatest film from the 70’s is ANIMAL HOUSE.
Let me repeat something from that film that should be relevant to US:
“Was it OVER when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no. Nothing’s over until WE say it is…”
John “Bluto” Belushi
Animal House
Do you suppose B.O. will put us on double secret probation?
My name also comes from the movie, L.A. Confidential
Hehehe
One of my favorite movies. Edmund Exley, Jack Vincennes, Pearce Patchett, Captain Dudley Smith…great stuff.
LMFAO…I think we already ARE on Double Secret Probation.
Right. What are we to do????…..
Toga! Toga!! Toga!!!
Well, it couldn’t HURT LOL.
If we can go back to 1966 — I would say, SECONDS, starring Rock Hudson, directed by John Frankenheimer, screenplay by Lewis John Carlino. It may have been Hudson’s only dramatic role. Haunting. But if we are going to stick with movies of the seventies, then I agree with Bud White about THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR.
ANNIE HALL, too.
I’ve never heard of Seconds, though I love The Manchurian Candidate by Frankenheimer. I’ll look for it
How could I have forgotten Woody Allen?
Perhaps I was just thinking drama. Yes, Annie Hall and Manhattan near the top.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o6QKpNK9Cc
The 60’s?!?! That’s easy.
Pillow Talk with Rock Hudson and Doris Day, Lawrence of Arabia, West Side Story, Sound of Music…
These are a few of my favorite things…:D
Love West Side Story!!
Ditto on Frankenheimer’s The Manchurian Candidate.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was another good one from the seventies. And how about the rather strange film, Harold and Maude?
Did you know one of the writers of Frankenheimer’s “The Manchurian Candidate” is named Axelrod? Coincidence??
Grey Gardens and The Beales of Grey Gardens was two of the most interesting movies I ever saw.
What they actually are is real footage of Edith Bouvier Beale, aunt of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Edith’s daughter little Eddie.
They were very eccentric women, possibly a little crazy.
I found a youtube of it. Check it out, they really were something.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLt9zh7sLIQ
Very interesting. I watched this clip. From what I can tell, it’s a documentary about these (eccentric) women? I will have to get the whole video. thanks
Yes there is a play on Broadway that came out the story.
Grey Gardens the musical
I watched a bunch of clips from youtube –fascinating. Why did the daughter wear a scarf all the time?
She lost her hair at some point in her life.
I would add Close Encounters of the Third Kind and the Exorcist to great movies of the 70’s. And let’s not forget the mother lode—Star Wars. Deliverance is another 70’s standout, disturbing but memorable.
For more recent movies, don’t miss the German flick The Lives of Others. Maybe a taste of what’s to come under the Obama Regime.
Doesn’t surprise me Obama loves The Godfather. Great flick but not meant to be a tutorial for the President of the United States.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a great movie.
I am off to watch Good Night and Good luck.
I was actually named after a famous actor who starred in the Good The bad and the ugly who lives in Carmel, Ca and has the last name Eastwood
Hiya Clint.
Did you fire six shots…
Or only five?
Most folks had guns which didn’t need to be reloaded
Just point and fire as many times as you wanted.
Clint had it right…One bullet per person why waste good bullets
Uh oh…your name is Clint. How sexy.
Now you know the rest….
Nah, I only know the BEGINNING.
I agree!!
Well…then…More?
What part of the world do you live in?
OIAF…Reading Cindy’s last post
I guess you live in my old stomping ground. I lived in Rolling Hills before moving to England to live 8 years and now I love it up here where the air is fresh and the bald eagles nest in a tree at the end of my street.
I live in the Hollywood Hills of LA…
People have the impression that it rains up here..Only in the winter.
For six months in the summer we have the nicest weather on the planet.
Hey Beautiful
I wish that I had another name for you besides OIAF
any nicknames?
Betty?
Hello Betty
Can I have this dance with you?
But of course Handsome Moss…Did you choose the song?
But of course..Your favorite

Shhh, don’t tell anyone what it is really like here. We don’t have any more rooms on our freeways to accomodate them.
The below comment was posted at Greta-wire and I thought it was worth sharing. It lends to the person who informed the waiter that they were giving their tip to the homeless person outside the restaurant holding the Obama sign.

Fellow Business Executives:
As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have
resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama will be our next President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Clients will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been eating at me for awhile, as we believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who will have to go.
So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem.These folks wanted change; I gave it to them.If you have a better idea, let me know.
Sincerely,
Bob
That is the besdt idea I have heard in a while! Brilliant.
Star Wars has always been a favorite, along with Jaws, Alien, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, The Conversation, The French Connection, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Fiddler on the Roof… I could go on and on, just let me get my notebooks with all my titles I have in my collective. The movie buff in me has over 2000 films, vhs and dvd and dating back to pre-code.
Another movie NQ may be interested in blogging about and is a direct parallel to Obama, try Robert Redford in The Candidate- that’ll give you goosebumps.
Looks like you beat me to Young Frankenstein..
I also like The History of the world part 1.
“it’s good to be the king”
Pull!
Bud, if you would like to watch a really good foreign film of late, check out a movie entitled
“Intacto”…Some English and some captioning…It is a strange, but darn good movie.
I will look for it. thanks
Let’s get serious…All time best movie of the 70’s
Young Frankenstein!
Lets not forget a couple of good ones like:
The Eiger Sanction and Cool Hand Luke
Steve McQueen movies were great in the early 70’s
“The Getaway”, with Steve McQueen and his wife Ali Mcgraw was the first movie to go against the long accepted Hollywood tradition that crime doesn’t pay. Why isn’t this Obama’s favorite? Didn’t he get away with it?
An oldie but goodie from 1951 with Bogart and Hepburn
The African Queen
I have to revise my favorite movie list since some star or were directed by koolaid drinkers. I’ve been thinking about selling my videos that have been tainted by koolaid. I guess I’m party pooper Galt.
Examples please Galt–I need to thin out my movie collection. This is as good a criteria as any.
search: obama Hollywood endorsements
you might substitute celebrity for Hollywood
My all time favorite classic….
Ben Hur
Mine are Gone with the Wind and Dial M for Murder (or pretty much any movie with Ray Milland.
“Lost Weekend”? I wish I could drink enough to forget the last 11 days.
70″s Favorites: In no particular order
Chinatown
Klute
American Graffitti
Animal House
and Caddyshack (1980)
I wonder what movies will be the survivors of the Obama debacle year….s?….
Is there a movie about the impeachment of a president?
Yes
“All The Presidents Men” with Redford and Hoffman
I liked Klute too.
Oh, right. I forgot about that one.
All The President’s Men is a great movie about when journalists actually did their job of getting ALL the news to the public. Now, not so much. pfffft!
MASH - the movie is good, also.
Eye of the Needle? Anyone?
For humor, any of the Monty Python efforts, especially “Life of Brian”. The latin lesson given by the centurian has got to be one of the most hilarious movie scenes ever. I wish I knew the latin translation for “Obama go home”. (Kenya)
Monty Python…Lmaoooo
“Quest For The Holy Grail”
Okay - this is it…Saturday Night Fever…Sorry, it’s the BEST….
I hate to admit it but I like the Bee Gee’s
Really takes me back to my dancing days.
The last Bee Gees CD would still make you dance. I love them.
I’m still in great shape! I love Utube
I have been finding alot of Bee Gee songs that remind me of the America I love
Oh I adore you. Me too. The Bee Gees are BRITISH but somehow they make us all feel so American. Okay Moss…so let’s dance to “More Than A Woman…”
I was fortunate to live in England throughout the 70’s
That was the center of music..Whenever I went back to LA
I always had the latest cool albums to share with my beach buddies.
What part of England did u live Seattle?
Hello JustMe!
I lived Sonning a little village along the banks of the river Thames about thirty miles west of London near the town of Reading.
Back in those days it was unheard of for an American to come back to England to live. My father set up an international business over there so I got to experience everything British before it all modernized.
I know it well worked in Reading for 5 years that is where I met my hubby.
A town called Woodley…..
Did u ever go to the Mill Night Club??
That was one of the places to hang out…
Reading has changed dramatically!!
That’s amazing!!!!
I went to Wangels school down by the bird sanctuary.
We lived on Old Bath Road.
Later I went to Presentation College in Reading which was an all boys school after I passed the 11 plus test.
I still have friends that live in Woodley.
My first job was at the Bull Hotel in Sonning
I worked in the private school
Leighton Park School
Shinfield Road,
Opposite the university
It was a boys school but turned
Co-ed. we got girls in the 6th grade.
I worked in private schools until I left and moved here
LOL small world…
Guess you were too young to visit a night club ?
However we drink at 18 there as u know….
Yes, I was an innocent frustrated tall kid that wanted to grow up faster.
When we moved to LA I was able to have all the fun I ever wanted and more.
I was a kid back then..
I lived in England from 10-17 but before I came back to the states for good I attended the American school in London..That is where I met my first girlfriend…Puppy love
Then I moved back to LA and became a surfer and dancer since I had already had years of college by the time I was 17.
I friend of mine was in the Betty Ford Clinic with Andy Gibb, Not really a claim to fame, is it.
The Bee Gees were great. But Disco Inferno is the all time ’70’s classic.
Poor Andy.
Disco Inferno rocks. Ohhhh I wanna dance.
Grease too that movie makes me smile….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnN_0EH_drE
No shame in that. I still love the Bee Gee’s. I did not grow up here, so was introduced late in life (like mid 20s) to their music.
Where is Workingclass Artist for the translation?
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid…
BC&SK was 60’s, sorry.
Okay, Saturday Night Fever is allowed. LOL!
Butch and Sundance is a great flick except for the cheesy bicycle scene while Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head plays. Totally out of place.
Tombstone is more like it for a western flick. Appaloosa is great, also.
OMG I love that scene. Pshaw…Great flick but I do think it was 60s and not 70s….
OMG I love that scene. Pshaw…Great flick but I do think it was 60s and not 70s….Yup 1969…
So Saturday Night Fever wins….Woot Wooot.
Oh, what about Foul Play with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase? The scenes with Dudley Moore are hilarious.
Foul Play - 1978
Lonely Are the Brave
Beat the Devil
Electra Glide in Blue
A Boy and his Dog
Casino
Also:
The Gypsy Moths
WUSA
Bud, why just 70’s movies? There were some great movies in the 60’s, too; and other decades as well.
60’s
Dr. Zhivago
The Apartment
70’s
Cabaret
Norma Rae
Summer of 42
80’s
A Fish Called Wanda
Sea of Love
I produced an “homage” to “The Apartment.” One of the greatest movies ever. I must have seen it 30 times.
O I love Dr. Zhivago…..
I keep trying to find it for my daughter to watch
Maybe next week we can discuss movies other eras. Those are great.
Don’t forget the one that made everybody pee their pants, “The Exorcist”
“Jaws” made everyone pee their swimsuits.
- that scene with David Axelrod on the bed, head spinning, puking green pea soup and empty promises?
I watched one just recently was it called
Dancing Queen?
Loved it full of Abba songs etc…
Julie Walters and Merrill Streep
Momma Mia~~ Great if you need uplifting..
Gets u dancing in the aisles. LOL
Bud, two earlier than the 70’s, but it set the tone for many movies after.
A Space Odyssey
Also, The film of Herman Hesse’s “Steppenwolf”. I have only seen it once and can’t find it anywhere.
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (oh heck, 1966).
I saw it when I was 15 with my grandparents. My grandfather was revolted and walked out. Gramma & I stayed. I walked uptown the next day & saw it again by myself.
When I first saw that movie, I was an impressionable child, and Liz Taylor impressed the hell out of me.
They say Burton compromised his talent, but damn, in that movie, those two were on fire.
For Burton, Taylor and Peter O’Toole in something completely different, find a copy of “Under Milkwood.”
Saturday Night Fever was my fav back then, John Travota was hot!! Those were the days, lol.
Stayin Alive by the Bee Gees (link in my name)
Other favs, Jaws, Rocky, Network, All the Presidents Men and The Omen.
Hello Canadian,
Thanks for the video..I presume you live in Ca
I just got back from there..Where about?
Hi Seattle Moss, I am in Windsor, ON across from Detroit, MI.
I have been to Seattle, loved it there, took a 3 day cruise to Victoria/Vancouver BC, but got to stay a couple days in the city, lovely.
Windsor is basically a suburb of Detroit..
Just like here…I go up to Vancouver in a few hours and they treat me like a local.
Seattle Moss, yes, we enjoy going to Detroit area for hockey games, baseball & concerts, all in our backyard, lol
see the view in my name
From the sixties: Sergio Leone’s spaghetti western classics: the good the bad and the ugly, for a few dollars more, a fistful of dollars, once upon a time in the west, - each enveloped in the haunting music of Ennio Morricone. And who can forget Claudia Cardinale? You did? I didn’t.
oops!
Marathon Man with Dustin Hoffman is good. “Is it safe yet”? A Peter Sellers movie, The Party, is so funny. I ROTFL the first time I saw it.
Kubrick’s next movie showed the corrosive effects of socialism on an affluent, but morally bankrupt society. “A Clockwork Orange” is worth watching right now just to see how prophetic a 36 year old movie was regarding our current zietgiest. Night, night me little droogies.
This should have been in response to TeakWoodKite’s reference to “2001: A Space Odyssey”.
Good one as well, andrew191.
Patton–The last Picture Show– and MASH

Bud, great thread. Maybe next time do one for favorite music of the 70’s
click my name, Hello It’s Me, Todd Rundrgren
This movie is not from the 70s but to me it was one of the most scary movies ever.
The Bedford Incident with richard widmark and sidney poitner. It was scary because it could happen.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMAS,BUBBAS,AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE
CHARLEY VARRICK
I still love The Godfather and Godfather II. I never get tired of watching them.
But the most memorable films of the 70s to me were also “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest,” and “Deliverance” and “Clockwork Orange” and “The Exorcist.”
I was born in 1965 and the seventies hold my dearest childhood memories. My favorite have mostly been mentioned by others; however, a few that made a mark on me were:
Looking for Mr. Goodbar (I was shocked by the idea of a woman picking a guy up in a bar). Oh the innocence lost.
The Exorcist put me off of ever playing with a Ouija
board.
For cheesiness and my crush on Swan, I love The Warriors. Actually, Obama reminds me a little of Cyrus “Can you dig it, Can you dig it”
Duel (what a tension filled movie)
The Candidate
All the President’s Men
Marathon Man
The Conversation
Sleeper
The Goodbye Girl
3 Days of the Condor
The Godfather Heaven Can Wait
The 70’s movies were some of the very best.
I messed that up a bit.
“The Godfather”
and
“Heaven Can Wait”
2 very different movies - both very good.
“Heaven Can Wait” was a remake of “Here Comes Mr Jordan”
I meant to add “Dog Day Afternoon”
as well.
I spent nearly every Saturday night at the movies during the 70’s. And I have many movies (dvd and vhs) in my collection. But nothing like the 2000 that SLW mentioned.
G-d I love movies.
And especially when they can remove TehPrecious from my TV screen.
Fun Thread! I came of age in the 70’s.
My friend and I sneaked into the drive-in after the ticket box closed, to see “A Clockwork Orange”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it from the beginning. This same friend was into foreign films and we saw all the Lina Wertmuller movies that came out in the 70’s. “Seven Beauties” is a good one.
Someone mentioned “Harold and Maude”. I loved that movie. Some other favorites
“Slaughter House Five” ,Woody Allen’s “Sleeper”,
Nicholas Roeg’s “Don’t look now” That movie scared me more than the “Exorcist” did.
“Five Easy Pieces”, “MASH”
I hadn’t really considered how many good films came out of that decade but on hindsight there were a lot of them.
For comedy “A new Leaf” written, directed and starring Elaine May is terrific. Also stars Walter Matthau.
Please continue these reviews! Netflix probably has most of them, and I trust your judgment!
For those who have not signed the RallyCongress Petition Regarding Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate,
For those who have not signed the RallyCongress Petition Regarding Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate, I encourage you to do so. As of right now, 95,332 Petitions have been signed. I personally would like to see at 100,000 to be signed and delivered by December 1, 2008. Before the Electorial College meet.
Below is a Copy Only of the Petition. To sign it and have a copy go to Your State Representatives please follow this link:
http://www.rallycongress.com/constitutional-qualification/1244/stop-obama-constitutional-crisis/
Sign the Petition : 95,332 Letters and Emails Sent So Far
Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution reads: “No Person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.”
There are numerous questions as to Obama’s citizen status raising suspicion and doubt about Obama constitutional qualification to be president. To settle these questions Mr. Obama must produce proof of citizenship!
Documents that must be produced include;
(a) a certified copy of “vault” (original long version) birth certificate;
(b) certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates in the names Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and Barry Dunham;
(c) a certified copy Certification of Citizenship;
(d) a certified copy Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of maturity;
(e) certified copies of admission forms for Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School; and
(f) certified copies of any court orders or legal documents changing his name from Barry Soetoro.
It is reasonable that these documents should be produced considering that his father is Kenyan, his adoptive father is Indonesian, and his grandmother claims to have been present at his birth in Kenya. If he is a natural born citizen then producing these documents should not be any problem.
These allegations will not go away until Mr. Obama produces proof to federal authorities and the public. If he will not do so voluntarily he must be compelled by every means available. You, as an employee of The People, have sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution.
We The People are demanding you to make every effort, both public and private, to resolve this fundamental Constitutional question before 20 January.
