"Network" may be the most egregious omission. For some reason, "Apocalypse Now" is my favorite from the 1970s.<br /><br />The NYT Sunday Mag yesterday claimed that "Jaws" is unfairly blamed for the mindless-summer-blockbuster genre, whereas it's practically arthouse in its slow build of suspense, by comparison. <br /><br />I'm not sure whether "Patton" is a good movie, or just a good chance for George C. Scott to chew up the scenery ... compare "There Will Be Blood."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
