A mixed bag of movies, some are groovy and a few are reall bummers, man!
I liked the 70s as far as films go. I think it was the last decade that the Big Studios did any kind of real experimentation with their films. Some of those experiments were wildly successful while some were spectacular failures.

HOW AWFUL ABOUT ALLAN: Anthony Perkins finds himself once again as a troubled young man with crippling mental health issues. Guilt over possibly toasting his father like a marshmallow sends him into a state of psychosomatic blindness. After a decade in an asylum, he returns home to his sister. But the family reunion has to wait because shortly after his arrival, Anthony fears that someone is trying to kill him. Is his life in jeopardy, or is he slipping back down into madness?

EVEL KNIEVEL: Professional Tanner George Hamilton was not the best choice to play death-defying Evel Knievel, but the movie is hardly a documentary. It does have a certain spark though, and captures the baseless optimism of the 70s pretty well.

COP...

Great collection at a great price
Great retrospective of the 70's with 50 films from that era at a price that can't be beat...and the quality is not bad.
