"The 1970s brought seismic shifts to the established cinematic landscape. Bold young directors like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola, and rebellious new stars you knew by one name—Pacino, De Niro, Jack—embraced revolutionary social freedoms and utilized innovative special effects to create a golden era of exciting, influential, and bodaciously fun new movies. It was the Daring Decade, the greatest years ever in th ..."

"An anonymous note sets off a romantic chain-mail reaction with hilarious results in this letter-perfect comedy with "something for everybody" (The Washington Post). Flirty and hilarious, Secret Admirer is a fast and funny farce where the laughs are unsigned, sealed and delivered. When high school heartthrob Michael (C. Thomas Howell, Red Dawn) receives an unsigned love letter, he assumes it's from knockout prom queen Deborah-Anne (Kell ..."
"The Horsemen is a startling and robust adventure story--almost a fable, actually--that opens a window onto a brutal but exotic part of the world. Set in mountainous Afghanistan, the film (written for the screen by Dalton Trumbo of Spartacus fame) concerns the devastating and near-impossible efforts of a great horseman, Uraz (Omar Sharif), to establish a reputation equal to that of his famous father, the chieftain Tursen (Jack Palance). ..."
"In den späten 60er-Jahren und den frühen 70ern schien Charlton Heston eine ausgesprochene Vorliebe für apokalyptische Stoffe zu entwickeln. Da gab es natürlich Planet der Affen und Der Omega Mann. Aber 1973 kam auch mit Soylent Green ein seltsamer Detektivfilm in die Kinos, in dem Heston einen hartgesottenen Polizisten in Manhattan spielt, der in der völlig übervölkerten und überhitzten Stadt einem Mord auf der Spur ist. Sein Mitbewohne ..."
"Ein spektakulärer Doppelmord hält San Francisco in Atem. Die Zeitungserbin Page Forrester und ihr Dienstmädchen wurden in einer Strandvilla von einem Maskierten auf bestialische Weise umgebracht. Die Tatwaffe: Ein Jagdmesser mit gezackter Schneide. Der Verdacht fällt auf Jack Forrester (Jeff Bridges), den Mann der Toten und jetzigen Alleinerben des Verlagsimperiums. Bis zum Prozessbeginn wird er auf Kaution freigelassen. Die Anwältin Te ..."
"La force de ce classique de la SF réside moins dans son intrigue policière – rondement menée mais au dénouement un brin prévisible – que dans la fabuleuse description de New York durant l'été 2022, étouffant sous le triple poids de la surpopulation, de la pollution et de la chaleur. Un univers tout à fait plausible et crédible – l'un des intérêts majeurs de cette vision pessimiste du futur, à l'atmosphère mortifère. Avec pour point culm ..."
"A radiant voice and exquisite music bring new elegance and artistry to the poetry of A Course In Miracles. The powerful, practical wisdom and meaning of A Course in Miracles has never been more beautifully presented on audio. These three tapes interweave the gentility of Leigh Taylor-Young's angelic voice reading verses from the Course, with Rob Whitesides-Woo's graceful, enchanting music to create a unique and spiritually uplifting exp ..."
"Hosted by Former Vietnam War Activist - Rennie Davis and Folk Singer - Donovan. While the "aliens" in this film seem to be quite human, one must realize that the film is dealing with close encounters of the fourth kind. An inner space journey triggered by the drug culture and rebellion of the sixties, and the non-violent search for self, evident in the seventies. Could this be due to some influence from a "higher spiritual conscious ..."
"For Sean (Robert Hayes), it was love at first sight when he bumped into Chris (Kim Cattrall) at the public library. But when he married her 'for better or worse,' he had no idea how much 'worse' things were going to be. Chris had told Sean that she was a travel agent - but what she didn't tell him was what she traveled with: secret documents, bribes, forged papers, and anything else the CIA might want. And, in addition, Chris was und ..."
"Someone is killing the supermodel clients of Hollywood plastic surgeon Albert Finney, and because this is a Michael Crichton movie, there has to be a pop-techno-scientific reason for it. Welcome to the daffy world of Looker, a 1981 film that manages to blend one or two interesting cultural ideas with a dismal storyline and a wonderfully cheesy early-Reagan-era look. The trail of murders leads to a corporation called Digital Matrix (Cric ..."
"Poor Harold Fine (Peter Sellers)... he's a suit-and-tie-wearing Jewish professional who's being pressed by his fiancée (Joyce Van Patten, in a supremely whiny and irritating performance) to nail down a wedding date. Harold's bored and dissatisfied with his life, though; when he meets Nancy (Leigh Taylor-Young), a hippie-chick friend of his brother's, he decides to tune in, turn on, and drop out, in a big way. He flees the altar, leaving ..."
