I have now watched 38 films from 1971. Some of those I did not rewatch for this exercise. I ended at six weeks on October 21 and feel perfectly satisfied with the streamlined schedule. A list can be found here. Here’s the list of my 10 favorites in no particular order:
The Last Picture Show – Directed by Peter Bogdanovich
Duel – Directed by Stephen Spielberg
The Emigrants – Directed by Jan Troell
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory – Directed by Mel Stuart
Directed by John Ford (1971) – Directed by Peter Bogdanovich
McCabe & Mrs. Miller – Directed by Robert Altman
Harold and Maude – Directed by Hal Ashby
A New Leaf – Directed by Elaine May
Walkabout – Directed by NIcholas Roeg
10 Rillington Place – Directed by Richard Fleischer
Congrats on finishing 71. In a rare case of good timing I am also posting my last 71 review tonight, so we will start 72 together. From now on I will be behind you.
Good selection of movies. Maybe a few I would have changed, but not much.
I’m looking forward to sort of doing this with you in tandem. We’ll see. I’m cheating by skipping so many List movies.
1971 produced some classics! On to 1972!
