Thunderbirds

Mark UK – I loved Thunderbirds, I went to see the show in London and it was very funny. They really took the piss especially out of the times when you would see the say water rising up and about to drown a character, cut to one of the Tracy heroes doing their best to save them cuts back to the drowning char only to see the waer level is back down to his knees and rising again……… It did make me larf. Rennie – lol and the dramatic drumming that would go with it. Used to love it too …

Silent Running

Rennie – Anyone remember Silent Running? The film with the robots Huey Duey and Luie. About space ships that hold all the fauna for the earth getting ordered to blow up the pods and return but one guy mutinees to save them. Poor Luie……………………………. James Blast – The Valley Forge was the ship, Bruce Dern played the lead didn’t it all go a bit Pete in the end tho? Tanktop – Bruce Dern always reminded me of Exidor in Mork and Mindy. Useless bit of information I know, well it’s early what do you expect Rennie – Yes I believe …

Awombleforever – Anyone remember this film,it was so funny but haven’t seen it in years.Was it a tv movie or was it on at the pictures?

Rennie – party party was 1983 Awombleforever – 1983 ,that late,thought it …

Over the Edge (1979)

Nix – Quite possibly the best depiction of late 70’s suburban American youth. Bored, restless, destructive, and high. The first time I saw it the film it was only a few years after it was made, so it wasn’t quite as effective, much in the same way looking into a time capsule would be only a year or so after sealing it. But now, I see it for what it was, and what it would become (or, rather, capture). A must-rent for 70’s-o-philes. Rennie – I’m on it Nix I’ll see what I can find out for you.”

Communion

Awombleforever – Can anyone tell me if they were 2 communions made in the 70s?I went to see a film in the 70s and I think it was called communion but it isn’t the one in reviews. Rennie – Not sure about that Womble. I’ll take a look for you. It’s unlikely there were two made unless one was a sequel. I’ll check it out along with Imps Hammer list. Rennie – There were two other films released in the seventies. Ex Communion – 1978 Solemn Communion – french comedy film – 1977 There was however another made in 1989 …

Star Wars

Brains – Film of the decade must be Star Wars….the music, the first scene….everyone gasped. What a memory. Rennie – It was something else I must admit, took the sci fi genre forward generations as it were. Rennie – Happy Star Wars Day everyone. MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU! Mark UK – That’s terrible….. who’s going to see the new one then? Rennie – I shall be going, looks great from the trailers. Mark UK – I can remember going to see the first one and being in such awe of the special effects. Superb film but not my …

Confessions Films

Sparky – Anyone watch the confessions series of films? Still make me laugh even now. It was never that easy! Rennie – I never did see the films but I read a few of the books. Can always remember his first on Clapham Common when he got caught in her elastic!! Awombleforever – Confessions of a window cleaner was one of the first films my husband took me to see.I’ll never forget the looks from his parents when they asked what we were going to see.The strange thing is me my husband and my son have been and my son …

The Exorcist

Awombleforever – The Exorcist was a very big film of the 70s but I couldn’t go see it as I was too young .I did read the book at the time tho.There was so much hype ,like a lot of films .I found the book very scarey Nix – I read the book first as well, when I was about maybe 12-ish. Scared the hell out of me. I didn’t even want the thing in the same room with me. And being Catholic, it wasn’t like I hadn’t heard about exorcisms before. Here in St. Louis one was performed years …

Rocksgirl – the films that were banned in the 70s have all been released over the years. I’ve seen quite a few like the exorcist, texas chainsaw massacre etc but one film i will NEVER watch again… First house on the Left…anyone seen it? Talk about brutal!!! Made even worse by the fact that its a true story! James Blast – even A Clockwork Orange, the most vilified film in the UK is now readily available Rocksgirl – They showed Clockwork Orange on terrestrial after Stanley Kubrick died. Apparently he didnt want it shown until after his death.. or so …

Forum Archives

I started building Escape in 2005 and in it’s early form I had the pleasure of a great 70s community. Sadly with Escape’s new design we couldn’t incorporate the old threads into the new forum but so we don’t lose all those magical old chats we’ve collected them all here for you to go back and read.
