Here's what I consider the worst movies from the '70's:  :P


5. Rocky Horror Picture Show (recently saw it and don't know why it's considered a "cult classic")
4. Love Story
3. Grease (I  can't stand musicals! The same for "Rocky Horror")
2. Beyond the Posedian Adventure
1. Night of the Lepus

I cannot but help agree with you here, Woops....

Sgt. Pepper(I posted about that movie on another thread)



I know I am in the minority here, but I loved Sgt. Pepper's.  I know it was a cheesy bad movie, but that is what made me love it.

You are not the only one. I have it on video.  (I also like Rocky Horror Picture Show)

Good to know...I have it on video, too. :)

I have to agree with woops about Grease.  And it seems that movie is always on.  It was on VH1 again this weekend.

I, along with Fuss, agree with you, woops....I'd also add Sgt. Pepper and Carwash

Billy Jack  ::)

these weren't on the list:  "pink flamingos" and "last tango in paris"

There was this absolutely HORRID movie on last week...from 1977, I think...It featured a gang of girls who ended up calling themselves the "Jezabells"...one of the characters clenched her teeth the whole time she talked....can't Believe that i actually watched it ::) :P

Hate Rocky Horror but LOVE the dance sequence.....I have it on tape. 8)

"The Day The Clown Cried" with that annoying Jerry Lewis.  Okay - any Jerry Lewis movie is the worst in my opinion.

You've actually seen this movie??? I've always heard it was never released.

I absolutely HATED "Phantom of the Paradise."  :P

Firstly, it was a pretty lame remake of "Phantom of the Opera."  Secondly, I never could stand Paul ("Ishtar") Williams.  Thirdly, I was only nine years old at the time, and the images (which I won't even begin to describe here) literally made me throw up.  Maybe they wouldn't if I saw it for the first time today, but that nauseating memory has earned it the top spot on my "Most Hated Movies" list.

On a related note, Disney made a number of really awful live-action movies in the 70s: "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes," "Never a Dull Moment" (a misnomer if ever there was one), "The Boatniks," "The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit" (I like horses, but a team of horses couldn't save this horrible film), "The Gnome-Mobile," the list goes on and on . . . .

PINK FLAMINGOS
was a John Waters movie, it's not supposed to be "good."
It's a sick, sick movie, and works!  You want take a 30 minute shower after 'coz it's so nasty!

Any Burt Reynolds movie except "The End"
Three Days of The Condor (Hated everything, especially the ending)
The Main Event
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Everyone said it was great, but I couldn't get past the screaming)

That disco movie Can't Stop the Music.  Donna Summer was in it and the Village People, I believe.  Five minutes in I was wishing someone would stop the music.

I agree...that one was horrible!  (and I love cheesy 70's disco movies, too)  I can't believe that I sat thru the entire thing and have lived to tell about it.  :D

My second choice would be Night of the Lepus.  I always wondered why MST3K never did that one....it was tailor made to be MSTied!

I just had to look that one up on IMDB!  Rabbits ? LOL!  Maybe that's where Monty Python got the idea for the Killer Rabbit in "Holy Grail."

Had Janet Leigh and DeForrest Kelley in it too!

Does anyone remember "trilogy of terror"? The movie about that native doll coming to life and killing it's owner scared the bejeebies out of me.  I couldn't sleep for a month after watching that.

The Trial of Billy Jack. >:(

This one was worse than the first one. Although I did like the way Billy Jack handled confrontation. If you didn't do as he said or got in his face he'd just explode and start kickin' everyone's ass...and we're talking fists and feet of fury!  :o

:P

(hmmm..that word "ass" got "**") ???

"Equinox"  When I saw this as a kid it scared and fascinated me.  I saw it again 'bout 9yrs ago, it didn't really get interesting 'til the C2H5OH kicked in.  It "starred" Frank Bonner (Herbert 'Herb' Tarlek) from WKRP.  Though bad, you know, I'd still recommend it.
God lyk!

I whole-heartedly agree, arnequis. It was truly one of the most uniquely awful films I have ever seen. If I remember correctly, I think it had the same nauseating quality as the 'rock-opera' Tommy - and that was bad!

Oh, that reminds me, what about Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park ?  On top of having no training as actors, the band was distracted, fighting, drunk, and couldn't remember their lines.  One of them was so bad, I think it was Ace, they had to dub his lines in after the fact.  There would be no need to make such a crummy movie with the latest pop sensation today.  They could just computer-simulate the whole thing, and no one would know the difference!

Tommy - The movie

Tommy - The movie

Oh yeah, Oliver Reed, Ann-Margaret, Elton John, with Ken Russell directing, and of course, as "Tommy" Roger Daltrey, the Rog himself.
Still, it's nowhere near as bad as Sgt. Pepper's, the movie!

I'm not too into movies so I'll steal ideas.  That Rocky Horror Picture Show is absolutely horrible!! I drove across country from MI to California and the guys I drove with were had that soundtract--I had to listen to that crap. That movie blows bad.


I dig Greese though. Just saw it AGAIN on TV the other night.

Oh, I hate The Rocky Horror Pick-your-nose !  The way kids who weren't even born when it came out will go and do the little rituals is nauseating.  They even released a home video version with instructions!

Silver Dream Machine with David Essex.

Growing up in England in the seventies I always liked motorbikes and begged to go see this movie but never did.  Finally saw it as an adult and I'm so disappointed.  David Essex was hot back then, but this has got to be one of the lamest movies ever.  The horrible ending (cut out on DVD so I heard) further intensifies this crap.
