Back To The 70s

Jesse Walker's top ten lists continue. Now it's 1978. Of his picks, I think The Deer Hunter is overrated, and I can't say I'm a huge fan of The Driver, The Last Waltz or Blue Collar (which does have some good performances), but the rest are interesting.

Some other films I enjoyed from that year:

The Buddy Holly Story, Heaven Can Wait, La Cage Aux Folles, The Fury (maybe my favorite De Palma film), Straight Time, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Superman and A Wedding. Also, if I included TV movies (as Jesse does) there's The Rutles starring in All You Need Is Cash.

Here are two movies that would definitely have made my top ten list:

Animal House

The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin
