Greatest 70's Movie Ever - The Final

[Carvalho Diablo]

Nat Skywanker and his giant luminous dildo.

Great story, told better than it ever has been before. Tells a story that wouldn't really work in any other medium, particularly at the time. Excellent production, genuinely groundbreaking and ingenious in places. Shame they've digitally fucked it, but the original prints are still unbeatable.

 

Star wars

Godfather

Cuckoo's nest

G2

 

But, all of them are 10/10.

Fully expecting Weekend At Bernie's to win the next category.

Star Wars

McDonalds

This is the only tournament Star Wars should romp home in, undisputed champions in the franchise pantheon of shitness.

Out of curiosity, 10 people voting for One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, how would you vote if it was Godfather vs. Star Wars?

Fuckin Star Wars over The Godfather and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? I had no idea most on here have never had a girlfriend and live in their parent's basement.

[Carvalho Diablo]

If these contenders were biscuits:

 

The Godfather = Chocolate Digestive

The Godfather 2 = Chocolate Hobnob

OFOTCN = Foxes stem ginger n chocolate crunch cookie

Star Wars = Asda Smart Price repackaged Whoopsie Lime Cream broken biscuits.

[Carvalho Diablo]

If the contenders were the women of The (once) Mighty GF:

 

Godfather = Kelly Brook

G2 = Rita Ora

OFOTCN = Katy Perry

Star Wars = Mansfield Purse Strings Holder

SasaS, you're an older poster and I love you, but don't ever take sides against the GF again. Ever.

The Godfather.

 

I like Star Wars but it doesn't belong in the same conversation as the other three.

Where Star Wars stands out from the other three candidates in this poll is that George Lucas created an entire universe and populated it with some of the most iconic characters in cinema. Surely even people who don't like Star Wars can recognise the sheer creativity and epic scope of Lucas's vision. He wasn't writing about the Mafia or a mental hospital, with all that real-world basis to start from; he had to lay the groundwork and invent a mythology before he could even tell a story.

[Carvalho Diablo]

If by iconic you mean cliched, bland, stereotypical and ripe to be milked for decades by those fools with zero taste or appreciation for quality drama, then we are in agreement.

I was always impressed with his concept and how deliberate it all was (films are not sequels but installments of an epic which begins, is it should, in medias res) but I don't think creating the universe and characters was the most inventive part. He did rely on archetypes, which is well documented. And it is often more difficult creating something set in the real world. SW is a true phenomenon but not due to its fantastical elements.

Star Wars. Bullshit. Better than Godfather?  GF strikes again. 

[Bjornebye]

George Lucas did not invent space, the Tunisian desert, costumes or special effects. Hope this clears a few things up. 

 

 

It's still a great film it's just not near the other 3. I like to judge a film on more than visuals... you know, a realistic storyline, actual acting prowess ..... call me old fashioned. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

R2D2 was a paedo hiding in a dustbin.

[Tony Moanero]

Star Wars is a fantastic family film, up there with the likes of E.T.

[Scooby Dudek]

I am just happy that everyone is calling it Star Wars and not A New Hope.

[Scooby Dudek]

Ironically all the Star Wars virgins now;
