Indeed. Dark Star was absolutely the top and the birth of all scifi after that. It is forgotten and imitated in Alien, and can't be seen anymore but was breathtaking at the time.
Sorcerer is on my best films list. Hitchcock once said, "You must show the audience the bomb under the table, but the bomb must never go off, or you lose the suspense." Sorcerer (Friedkin) used a different method. With one explosion after another, from car cashes to head shots to oil rigs, and more. The audience could no longer anticipate the next event. It turned the logic of suspense on its head.
That movie wins the "worst name for the content" contest. You don't name a movie "Sorcerer" without throwing some wizards in there. Give it a different name.
@perfectallycromulent Worst yet, it was William Friekin's first film after after the Exorcist. Even I went to the film expecting some sort of a sequel to the horror film. But I was pleasantly surprised.
I wasn’t even alive in 1976 & I’ve never been to California but anytime I watch The Bad News Bears, it reminds me of when I played little league when I was a kid. It’s such a great movie that goes way beyond baseball & anyone can sit down, watch it & connect with its story & themes.
In Sorcerer the trucks aren't carrying dynamite, they are carrying nitroglycerin. Dynamite is made by absorbing nitro into a stabilizer material. You can catch it on fire or drop it off a cliff onto rock, and it won't explode. It will only go off with the assistance of a blasting cap. But if it's kept for a long time without rotating it, the nitro can "weep" out of it leaving a box full of inert sticks and a large puddle of nitro in the bottom. This was all well explained in the movie.
Didn’t see Sorcerer till the late eighties on cable . Two friends of mine were at another friends house with his brother there on a rainy Saturday afternoon. We were kicking back smoking weed and one of the brothers turned on the tv and started flicking through the channels and came to the movie just starting on HBO . One of the things we like to do when sitting around doing nothing and watching tv was to just shat talk about the movie we were watching just to be more entertaining to us . That movie after the first 5 minutes we were silent and just watched in silence at the suspense before us , if I remember right it was more than a two hour movie and nothing like I had seen in a long time before watching it . Roy Scheider was just as good in it as he was in Jaws , but Sorcerer I thought had way more suspense, Jaws just had a scare factor but Sorcerer had both suspense and scare factor .
Yeah. Retarded narrator/AI didn't mention it. The original was known as one of the most suspenseful movies ever so I doubt Tarantino said the same thing about the remake
I saw Sorcerer in 1977, I had just had my heart broken by my first love . My brother knew films had always been a form of escapism for me so he took me to see it in a double feature with Pappilion . Both outstanding films.
I was a rarity. I was 17 in the summer of 1977. I saw Star Wars once and Sorcerer twice. Of course, my reason was simple. My favorite films of the 1970s were The French Connection and The Exorcist, both directed by William Friedkin. When I went to see Sorcerer, I was just following his course.
If you think Sorceror has no supernatural overtone, you haven't understood the movie. The four criminals on the run and trying to redeem themselves with the rescue mission are in purgatory. It has a similar vibe to Angel Heart, without giving it all away at the end, keeping it allegorical and not literal. It's a masterpiece.
Mostly I don't care what Tarantino likes, I think I know enough from listening to his podcasts and seeing his films, but this was a good review of forgotten, and sometimes good, 1970s films.
Rolling thunder came on video in the UK around 1983. i remember the trailer, "they took his family, they took his arm!" me and my brother always used to talk about that film.
They arranged a preview of ROLLING THUNDER for Vietnam veterans, but it made the audience so angry that they attacked the studio personnel! (They felt it fed a bad stereotype about them...)
I get it, I'm an Iraq Combat vet and I get pissed with how we are portrayed in TV and movies. The first show I watched where I took notice was the show Justified.
I think "Sorcerer" which I have not seen might be partially based on Burt Lancaster's film "Rope of Sand" which involves a truck full of explosives being driven on a rough road. I have to see it after seeing this video. Also, when "Mash" came out, a lot of film critics were war veterans and a lot of them said pretty much, "Yeah, this is what the army was like." I was in the US navy in the 1970s I can sure relate to it. Also, "The Last Detail" but that's another story.
Out of Quintin's top 10 I have seen 4 back in the '70s.MASH, Sorcerer, House of Dark Shadows< and Rolling Thunder. The only one that I have a DVD copy of is "Rolling Thunder". I revisit that one about once a year. Along with "The Outfit" ( Robert Duvall and Joe Don Baker).
David Chase and Clint Eastwood may have been given ideas by Rolling Thunder and A Man Called Horse. A couple of these stories and the role for Richard Harris may have inspired ideas for The Sopranos and Unforgiven. It's nothing but speculation on my part but it seems possible.
I saw sorcerer in the theater and liked it more than Star Wars. I immediately recognized it as a remake of a wonderful film I saw years before that was equally good if not better. The original was filmed on location amid extreme overt and squalor that made you understand why these guys would risk dying to make a few bucks.
A real Tarantino list, half big movies that enjoyed a lot of buzz at the time but have aged horribly, the other half blood soaked drive-in movies. Sorcerer has endured though.
The Sorcerer was a decent movie. It was a remake of a French film. THE WAGES OF FEAR with Yves Montand. I have not seen the Sorcerer since its theatrical release. BAD NEWS BEARS is a classic. MASH is a classic. The first few years of the TV show MASH was pretty good but it got smug, preachy, and pretentious as it went on.
I’m utterly shocked that the original Gone In 60 Seconds is not on this list. Tarantino paid homage to it in Death Proof in a couple of ways. Not only did he mention it by name but the “did we just hit a boat” line is similar to what happens at the start of the all time number classic car chase that lasts for over forty minutes
Sorcerer is one of my all time favorite films, it surprised me when I first saw it, expecting it to be as mediocre as popular opinion implied, was mainly seeing it, as I was a Tangerine Dream fan, it sucked me in with its relatable damaged characters, & multi layered tension, that absolutely did not let up till the very end.
I thought popular opinion for Sorcerer was "good movie, if you watch it, but the stupid title makes people think it's a generic fantasy movie, so they don't"
@@perfectallycromulent If some people are stupid enough to think that SORCERER _must_ be a fantasy flick with wizards and dragons, those people don't deserve to see it.
Surprised that CHARLEY VARRICK isn't in there, since it was such an influence on Tarantino ("Pliers and a blowtorch" line used in PULP FICTION + the violent Trailer confrontation, repeated in KILL BILL)
We need a revolution in movies. Theatre releases, drive ins, re releases. Events like playing old famous films in theatres. More musicals. More international releases. More indy releases. And end streaming bullshit service rip offs. Bring back blockbuster
Whether this was AI or not, it was informative. As a kid I saw Bad News Bears when it came out, loved it. But the quote regarding fan mail/first crush should be attributed to Tatum O’Neal not QT. I remember as an 8 or 9 year old boy feeling something new when I saw her.
You clearly have your head up your arse. Tarantino, for starters, has a _stunning_ knowledge of Australian cinema. The man could write a book on Aussie cinema from the '70s. QT has listed CAREFUL, HE MIGHT HEAR YOU as a favourite. Additionally, Tarantino has seen a lot of Japanese, Italian and French cinema. I've no idea from where you derive your information.
Nice list. Seen only two (Bad News Bears, MASH). (Edit) My bad, also seen "Five Easy Pieces" and "Rolling Thunder". Didn't much care for them. But hey, not a big fan of "Star Wars" or "Clockwork Orange" either. The following is my list of films from the '70's everyone should view at least once: (1) "The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three" (1974) (2) "The Getaway" (1972) (3) "Blazing Saddles" (1974) (4) "Deliverance (1972) (5) "Network" (1976) (6) "The Godfather" (1972) (7) "Shaft" (1971) (8) "Enter The Dragon" (1973) (9) "Mister Majestyk" (1974) (10) "Apocalypse Now" (1979) (11) "Annie Hall" (1977) (12) "The French Connection" (1971) (13) "Breaking Away" (1979) (14) "American Graffiti" (1973) (15) "The Omen" (1976) (16) "Meatballs" (1979) (17) "Sweet Sweetback's Baadassss Song" (1971) (18) "The Paper Chase" (1973) (19) "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975) (20) "Duel" (1971)
I love 70's movies and I could make a list of my favorites that I've watched over and over. None of these movies would make my list. I'm a big fan of Pulp Fiction, but that doesn't mean that Tarantino is the end-all be-all of movie criticism. He's entitled to his opinion. I'm entitled to my opinion that he's full of crap.
I have a copy of The Lady in Red (1979) Produced by Julie and Roger Corman; and in the commentary by writer John Sayles and/or Director Lewis Teague it was mentioned Tarantino was a huge fan of The Lady in Red. In the coarse of the movie a young Pamela Sue Martin (as The Lady) crossed paths with John Dillinger, girls prison life, gangsters, and the life of prostitutes during the Depression (indeed). Robert Forster (Jackie Brown) plays a gangster with some moral integrity. But, I thought The Lady in Red deserved a mention, cuz Tarantino likes it, although not mentioned in this list. I have not seen The Sorcerer, or the original French movie The Wages of Fear. William Friedkin directed? No kidding ... can't believe I missed that one. Rolling Thunder was written by Paul Schrader after Taxi Driver. Huh, It does not look familiar, either. I remember seeing A Man Called Horse before I was 10 and wondered for decades why it did not seem to appear on cable. I had to buy A Man Called Horse on DVD. It drags just a bit but is a must see for fans of authentic westerns. The 1970's did have their moments. This is a good list with some of these movies I would watch again ... just like how i feel about a couple of Tarantino flicks. I have seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood times from start to finish a couple times, for example. Reservoir Dogs. Pulp Fiction definite multiple viewings.
I think that "A Man Called Horse" and "Little Big Man" were revisionist westerns, trying to apologise for the treatment of the Indians. "Little Big Man" seemed like an allegory about Viet Nam.
I'm nearly 70. Why would I care what Tarantino thinks I should watch? I know very well what I like and it isn't Tarantino films. I'm happy he was able to gain admirers, but his opinions are no better than anyone else’s. You're smart enough to know what you like. I typically prefer 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s movies. I even like the old war movies, although they seldom get the story right. The West picked on Germany to save the Soviet Union and they were very successful.
not really. The Austrian Painter refused to have a privately owned central Bank like the Fed. Always thought Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and the Führer would have a lot to talk about.
'The West picked on Germany to save the Soviet Union " Wow. I've not heard that version before. Technically Germany is part of "The West'. I thought Stalin made a pact with Hitler that Hitler later broke. I heard that Churchill talked the USA into delaying things so that Germany and the Soviet Union would destroy each other. And as Basil Faulty said to the Germans about WW2, "You started it". I'm totally with you on not caring what Tarantino thinks we should watch.
About the only thing I agree with Tarantino on is that I didn't like the M.A.S,H. t.v. show either. Too preachy. Alan Alda was a bit too smarmy for my taste.
Please stop with this AI generated bullsh1t. To have a quote on the screen that is obviously from Tatum O'Neal ("The Bad News Bears") and attributing it to Tarantino is ridiculous - unless you think a bunch of boys saw the film and wrote Tarantino fan letters telling him he was their "first love"...
The Exorcist and The Godfather wouldn´t exist if it wasn´t for Mash and Five Easy Pieces ? 😂😂😂 This Tarantino dude is an i diot. Mixes his knowledge with fake s hit made up in his mind, lives in his reality and fools clueless people. Other movies were changing the game in Hollywood way before Mash and Five Easy Pieces. The late 60´s were already starting to change the game with movies like Cool Hand Luke and Patton from 1970 which came out first than Five Easy Pieces and around the same time as Mash. And yes, Patton is a anti war movie, not pro like many i diots think it is.
Who would have thought that at least half a dozen times I would agree to anything Q.T. says. Well, he talks so much chances are pretty high I would agree to something eventually. muhahahahahahahaha
Who but an American is capable and dares to list the 10 best ... 3 most beautiful ... and similar nonsense. The moment you declare something as the best, you have wronged many. You can be Tarantino, but you're still just a very typical American... miserably biased at the expense of your prejudices.
You're an idiot. Tarantino likes many excellent movies. I've seen several of these at the cinema. You might not like many of _his_ movies, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have some superb choices.
Sorcerer is the remake of a French movie, Le salaire de la peur. Or at least it comes from the same source material (a novel by Georges Arnaud. ruclips.net/video/ArwhGYrOWXA/видео.htmlsi=pMdcuhdO33QNtwG1&t=17
Tarantino is the most overrated personality in the film industry. An arrogant (why?) windbag, he never met a violent scene he didn't love. He somehow attracts talent for his films, but any greatness achieved is theirs...
Anyone else already sick of this AI generated slop?
Intrigued- is this another example of fake review for content? Color me old school, but the narrative does seem artificial.
May I be the first to welcome our robot masters (tic)masters (tic) masters.... you get the idea 😅!
Yes
Exactly!
Is this a commentary by Tarantino, or just a Bot version of random quotes and generic statements by AI?
@@SteveEarle-q9n love your work- hope to see you perform at Floores' or Gruene Hall
Showing a quote, but not stating it the same way, is maddening.
no shit. I had to keep pausing it. guy was stoned when he edited it or something.
Indeed. Dark Star was absolutely the top and the birth of all scifi after that. It is forgotten and imitated in Alien, and can't be seen anymore but was breathtaking at the time.
Sorcerer is on my best films list.

With one explosion after another, from car cashes to head shots to oil rigs, and more. The audience could no longer anticipate the next event.
It turned the logic of suspense on its head.
I think there are more then a few methods to uphold supspense. We need more crative directors to test new methods.
That movie wins the "worst name for the content" contest. You don't name a movie "Sorcerer" without throwing some wizards in there. Give it a different name.

And the musical theme is unforgettable, conjuring images of that slap happy, goofy baseball team!
I saw Deep Red when I was 8. Lol. The pearl necklace scene still messes with my brain. Crazy Italians.
I never heard of Switchblade Sisters, now I have to see it.
In Sorcerer the trucks aren't carrying dynamite, they are carrying nitroglycerin.

This was all well explained in the movie.
Sorcerer is a rehash of "Wages of Fear" a French movie from 1953.
They are definitely carrying old dynamite. Which is sweating nitro. You can see it in the video.
both films are adapations of the novel @@bloodyconstraint920

One movie I would like to see in a list like this but it's always overlooked - Electra Glide In Blue.

Dark Star is plain wonderful.
Love the scenes with the Bomb.

Saw it but couldn't get into it.
Great summaries!
I just saw a 70’s movie the other day called Crazy Joe. It was very good.
I have the score for Deep Red on vinyl. I love throwing that record on.
If you think Sorceror has no supernatural overtone, you haven't understood the movie.
The four criminals on the run and trying to redeem themselves with the rescue mission are in purgatory.
It has a similar vibe to Angel Heart, without giving it all away at the end, keeping it allegorical and not literal.
It's a masterpiece.
There is nothing supernatural about fate.
Mostly I don't care what Tarantino likes, I think I know enough from listening to his podcasts and seeing his films, but this was a good review of forgotten, and sometimes good, 1970s films.
Deep Red is amazing, if you haven't seen it go see it now and then check out Suspiria which is even better!
Thumbnail made me think I was getting a list of 705 films. Guess 10 will do!
Rolling thunder came on video in the UK around 1983. i remember the trailer, "they took his family, they took his arm!" me and my brother always used to talk about that film.

Darkstar is on Peacock right now.
I saw A Man Called Horse and it was a great movie
David Chase and Clint Eastwood may have been given ideas by Rolling Thunder and A Man Called Horse. A couple of these stories and the role for Richard Harris may have inspired ideas for The Sopranos and Unforgiven. It's nothing but speculation on my part but it seems possible.
The last one is a remake of the famous french movie 'Le salaire de la peur' with Yves Montand in 1955.
Also QT loved the Vanishing Point.
awesome vid , many thnx!
It's interesting and a tad disappointhing to learn that Tarantino and Robert Altman didn't like each other. They are two of my favorite directors.
I saw sorcerer in the theater and liked it more than Star Wars. I immediately recognized it as a remake of a wonderful film I saw years before that was equally good if not better. The original was filmed on location amid extreme overt and squalor that made you understand why these guys would risk dying to make a few bucks.

My one and only favorite musical.

Tarantino, which I doubt is his name, is a hack and a plagiarist. American cinema is dead.
His debut was good, thereafter he just copied himself...
Sorcerer, i prefer the French original.
No Martial Arts?
I don't care what Tarantino wants me to see.
Exactly, just cause he makes movies doesn't make him an x-pert on what's watchable or not
So that’s why you watched this?
QT is a kook
AI is lazy and not ready for prime time.
If Tarantino ''wants'' anyone to see something he should do the work and make the movie.
Sorcerer was an inferior remake of the classic French film 'The Wages of Fear' 'Le Salaire de la Peur' with the great actor Yves Montand.
Oh look! It's "that" guy...
The Exorcist and The Godfather wouldn´t exist if it wasn´t for Mash and Five Easy Pieces ? 😂😂😂 This Tarantino dude is an i diot. Mixes his knowledge with fake s hit made up in his mind, lives in his reality and fools clueless people. Other movies were changing the game in Hollywood way before Mash and Five Easy Pieces. The late 60´s were already starting to change the game with movies like Cool Hand Luke and Patton from 1970 which came out first than Five Easy Pieces and around the same time as Mash. And yes, Patton is a anti war movie, not pro like many i diots think it is.
If it were up to Tarantino, we would need two lifetimes just to watch 70's movies.
people who care for the opinion of Tarantino are lost. He is a admirer of violence and a sadist. Ask Uma Thurman.
Who would have thought that at least half a dozen times I would agree to anything Q.T. says.
Well, he talks so much chances are pretty high I would agree to something eventually. muhahahahahahahaha
Don't care for the opinions of a man who's films rip off better movies.
Who but an American is capable and dares to list the 10 best ... 3 most beautiful ... and similar nonsense. The moment you declare something as the best, you have wronged many. You can be Tarantino, but you're still just a very typical American... miserably biased at the expense of your prejudices.
Lighten up Nancy.
Sound like somebody is "miserably biased at the expense of your prejudices". 😜
If tarantino recommends it, remember to take it with a grain of salt.
You're an idiot. Tarantino likes many excellent movies. I've seen several of these at the cinema. You might not like many of _his_ movies, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have some superb choices.
Sorcerer is the remake of a French movie, Le salaire de la peur. Or at least it comes from the same source material (a novel by Georges Arnaud.

Tarantino is the most overrated personality in the film industry. An arrogant (why?) windbag, he never met a violent scene he didn't love. He somehow attracts talent for his films, but any greatness achieved is theirs...
