Title: Greatest Films According To Grogs: The 1970 Sweet Sixteen
Post by: BanzaiCat on March 11, 2018, 11:05:15 AM
Hopefully, the 1970 in Film bracket will garner more votes than the 1960 one did. Perhaps that was going back a bit too far, but in any case, I'll continue the 1960s bracket in the future, though it will be some time before we get to the next 1960-era film.

1970 in Film had a lot of great flicks, and some that are not so great. Some hit the top of the lists regardless and though I've not seen them, I've included them in the list here. I'm pretty sure they won't make it past the second round, especially in the face of some of these films, but we'll see how things pan out. Also, there's at least one big stinker in this list, but it's so awesome I just couldn't resist putting it here for your voting pleasure.


BRACKET ONE: 1 vs. 16

1. Tora! Tora! Tora!



16. Airport




BRACKET TWO: 8 vs. 9

8. Ryan's Daughter



9. Love Story




BRACKET THREE: 5 vs. 12

5. Hercules in New York



12. Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music




BRACKET FOUR: 4 vs. 13

4. The Aristocats



13. The Losers




BRACKET FIVE: 6 vs. 11

6. Patton



11. Catch-22




BRACKET SIX: 3 vs. 14

3. A Man Called Horse



14. Little Big Man




BRACKET SEVEN: 7 vs. 10

7. MASH



10. Chisum




BRACKET EIGHT: 2 vs. 15

2. Chariots of the Gods



15. Hornet's Nest

the Hornet's Nest trailer reminds me an awful lot of Red Dawn. Hmm...

Those are some really weird choices for movies....  :idiot2:

Admittedly, this was not a strong year for 'greatest' films. So some were (obviously) tongue-in-cheek choices.
