What movie best represents your life in the 70's?
kirkus
hear what an infant did 25 years ago........anyway, "Over the Edge"
is one of my favorite movies of all time. There are so many
situations in that movie that I can stick myself in and start reliving
the past. One ironic thing about it is when I was in Jr. High, I
always thought Matt Dillon was a worthless teen idol. Now that I
watch the movie, I think he's pretty cool.
If you haven't seen the movie, go rent it. It has a kick-ass sound
track to boot......Van Halen, Cheap Trick, Hendrix, The
Ramones...........Greg

The flick "Dazed and Confused" brought back some serious memories for
me.

Seventies movie that best represents my life because the only movies I can
really remember are Logan's Run, Towering Inferno and Star Wars... and a
made-for-TV movie called "Bad Ronald". It was about this tall, gangly, curly
haired kid with coke-bottle glasses who accidentally kills a girl a couple
years younger than him while she is teasing him. She falls and hits her head on
a rock, and he runs home and tells 'Mother' what he's done.
'Mother' whips out the toolbox and the wallboard and totally walls up one of
the rooms in the house, making a secret door to the room underneath the lowest
shelf in the pantry. She hides Ronald in here, telling the police that Ronald
must have run away... whenever the cops knock on the door, Ronald runs and
hides in the secret room (he gets a little pale from lack of sunlight, too)...
The only problem is, after awhile 'Mother' passes away, leaving Ronald in an
empty house where he gets real hungry for awhile, until the house is sold to a
family that includes a couple of hot sisters (I think there were a couple of
them). Well, Ronald has a good time stealing their food when they're not home
and peeking through his little peep holes (at the chicks) that he's drilled
seemingly in every room in the house...
It's a pretty dumb movie. Ronald's pivoting eyeball gets spotted by one of the
chicks as she's changing in her bedroom. She screams and the next scene shows
Ronald being led away from the house in handcuffs amidst a sea of flashing
police beacons... movie over! But I have to admit, the thought of Ronald
peeking through that peephole at that girl has stayed with me throughout the
years...
Someday, just for fun, I'm going to hang a portrait of some dude on the wall,
and drill out the eyes so I can go around the other side of the wall and pivot
my eyes around and freak out the people in the other room.

Dude, I'm cracking up.. I saw that damn movie too. I remember the
scene where he's in the kitchen chugging milk out of the carton and I
was thinking "this is stupid man!"
They don't make plotless movies like that any more :)
"Ronald is a bad boy..."

Ha! I wish. Considering when I was born, I suppose "Look Who's Talkin" is
more accurate.

If you haven't seen "Clerks" go rent it. It's the first Kevin Smith
production. Silent Bob and Jay are 70's reruns of everyone I knew back then.
