Monday is about movies. Sometimes TV. Now and then I work through the years and list my favourite films. Today is that day once again. And today the year is 1976. A special year for me. Read on…
What a year! "All The Presidents's Men" is like Godfather 1 - as fresh today as It was the day it was released - almost fifty years ago. I don't think they'd change a shot in either film. And that great line from Deep Throat: "The truth is, these are not smart guys. And things got out of hand." Equally fresh.
Wow. I'd forgotten just how good a year '76 was. Network was outstanding, but I was really rooting for Rocky to win Best Picture...and it did! Rocky was one of the best experiences I ever had at the movies. The audience was SO into it, cheering and hollering. And I was 17 back then, so President's Men didn't have much impact on me then, but it sure does now. Great year, great list.
