Late 60's/early 70's favorite stylized films?

[thedelihaus]

I'm a big fan of films made in the late 60s and very early 70's. I've had a real hunger for more films like:

Blow Up (by Michelangelo Antonioni, with The Yardbirds, Vanessa Redgrave, and Jane Birkin, of Serge Gainsbourg fame)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060176/

Girl On A Motorcycle (a.k.a. Naked Under Leather, starring Maryanne Faithfull)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063013/

Barbarella (Jane Fonda in Space!)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062711/

Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (starring Tura Satana)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059170/

The Honeymoon Killers (a true story)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064437/

Alice's Restaurant (Arlo Guthrie)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064002/

Two Lane Blacktop (James Taylor acting!)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067893/

The Wild Ride (starring Jack Nicholson, this one a 1960 film not late 60's)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054475/

Evel Knievel (a guilty pleasure starring George Hamilton
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067069/

and, of course, my favorite,
A Clockwork Orange (no need to comment, do I, me Droogies?)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066921/

I dig the beatnik scene, the mod movement, the rockers, the vintage motorcycles, crushed velour, hot rods, Go-Go dancers, Martinis, polyester, leather outfits, 60's/70's apocalyptic futures and space epics, jazzy, acid-influenced editing and art-house cinematography, guerilla film-making, low budget efforts, student films, works by Russ Meyer and and the like.

I'd love your suggestions...

Have you seen the recent ones produced by Rob Zombie? There is "The Devils Rejects" and I am not sure of the the title of the first one I think it is titled "The House of a Thousand Corpses". The are filmed in the style similar to the B movies of the 60's and 70"s. They also have many cameo apearences of the stars in them old movies such as Karen Black and Micheal J Pollard who played the get away driver in Bonnie ahd Clyde and a lot of the old Biker Movies like Wild Angels with Peter Fonda.

I dont know if all of these fit your bill,but I love these films from that period,and I dont think films like this are made much anymore:

Five Easy Pieces(Starring Jack Nicholson)

Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid(Sam Peckinpah Directs)

Point Blank(Starring Lee Marvin)

Seconds(Starring Rock Hudson,if you can believe that)

Scorpio Rising(Avant Garde film directed by Kenneth Anger)

Weekend(Directed by Jean Luc Goddard)

The Wicker Man(Very,very strange thriller.Hollywood is remaking it,God help us)

Oh Lucky Man(starring Malcom McDowell)(One of the great unsung films from this era.)

I have a million more,but Ill stop here.

Ever see Satyricon? Fellini film from '69 about Roman times....I guess. Very "original" film that screams late sixties/early seventies despite the setting. I give it

[BULLWINKLE]

Vanishing point

[slow_jazz]

don't forget the greatest film of all time from back in the day. "bullitt" starring steve mcqueen. undoubtedly the best chase scene of all time... that charger and mustang still hold up fantastic. still remember the guy buckling his seat belt and starting the chase.... of course the charger would have one hands down in a real chase. they had to really work on the mustang to get it to keep up with the charger.

Lots of good suggestions here! I dig Rob zombie's flicks and find the editing syle and cinemetography to be very much alike the 60's film styles i enjoy. I love "Bullit", love "5 Easy Pieces", dying to see "Vanishing Point" (the nekkid gurl rides a Honda CL350 scrambler, 1968 or 1969 model- these are the bikes I used to restore), I'll add "Satyricon" to the list (love Fellinni), as well as , "Weekend", as I also love Jean Luc Goddard.

Jimmy, I'm suprised anyone mentioned "Scorpio Rising" here. I'm very familiar with Kenneth anger's work- very glad to hear someone else is familiar with it as well.

I have not seen "Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid", nor have I seen "Point Blank", "The Wicker Man", or "Seconds".

"Oh Lucky Man" is also on my short list. Here's a link to the soundtrack, as a free MP3 download... http://ratorecordsblog.blogspot.com/

And please, Jimmy, keep going, your suggestions are appreciated!

If it is the same Pat Garret and Billy the Kid it starrs Kris Kristofferson and Bob Dylan has a Small part as a store keeper. I remember Dylans great line, "We got green beans. pinto beans, navy beans, wax beans porke and beans," He didn't add much to the movei, but it is a good watch.

[2DualsNotEnough]

I'm glad you found some of my off the wall choices worth checking out.Here are a few more:

The Ruling Class(Peter O Toole stars,and steals the film)

Performance(Mick Jagger stars in a real love it or hate it film)

The Exterminating Angel(Bunuel Directs)

McCabe and Mrs Miller(Altman Directs,Warren Beatty Stars)

Aguire-The Wrath of God(Fassbinder directs,Klaus Kinski,mad as a hatter)

The Last Detail(Jack Nicholson.A little more mainstream,but such a great forgotten film,I had to add it.)

I had forgotten what a fertile time this was for really different films.

Here's a really out there choice.It was made in the 40's but didnt really get seen much until the 60's.

Meshes in the afternoon(Maya Deren directs this avant garde classic)

Anyone remember that Clint Eastwood Flick "Thunderbolt & Lightfoot" ? It was definately a bubble or 2 off center...

[mhardy6647]

No-one's mentioned "2001"???

Many of my faves aren't too stylized. "Silent Running" is another sci-fi fave of mine (stylized by definition, no?).

"The Last Detail" is an excellent movie.

[bjarmson]

I think virtually every movie mentioned is worth seeing at least once, if not more (Russ Meyer is now considered to be some sort of auteur). Hollywood already looks back at this time as a Golden Age. Of course, it was about this time the "!BLOCKBUSTER!", was discovered, and so long quirky eclectic, good movie period. Oh yeah, no one seems to have mentioned "MASH" or "Nashville" also by Robert Altman, or "A Hard Days Night" with the Fab Four (who may have invented the period in question).

[Sandy G]

"Dirty Mary/Crazy Larry" Or was it the other way around....

[KeninDC]

And a little later into the 70s, we got the cool "paranoia" flicks. For example:

The Parallax View (w/ Warren Beatty as a reporter chasing down a plot to kill the President)

Three Days of the Condor

Marathon Man

All the President's Men

and, Shampoo (wait, this shouldn't be on the paranoia list, but the party scenes are great).
