Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 90% “There is no better indication of how far movies have progressed in 75 years than this awe-inspiring, magical foray into the worlds of science fiction and science fact. ” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Apr 3, 2024 Full Review The Enforcer (1976) 69% “"The Enforcer" is a violent movie. That's what shapes it, sells it and ultimately sinks it.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Aug 3, 2020 Full Review The Missouri Breaks (1976) 77% “he Missouri Breaks is a unique film that is not necessarily a great film.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Jun 16, 2020 Full Review Family Plot (1976) 92% “If this film had been made by a director other than Alfred Hitchcock, the expectations may not have been as high. Such is the price of years of success. Family Plot, while not up to those usual standards, is still crackling good cinema.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel May 12, 2020 Full Review Orca (1977) 8% “[Orca] is not an easy film to sit through. Not only because of the banal dialogue, the overdrawn performances or the familiar theme... The real reason is that Orca contains a few sequences so intense in suffering and horror as to be nearly unbearable.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Mar 26, 2019 Full Review A Star Is Born (1976) 37% “It is ironic that the star system itself has killed A Star is Born, a film written to expose that system for just this kind of destructiveness.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Allegro non Troppo (1976) 89% “Bozzetto's work may never collect the tremendous audience that Fantasia has accumulated in its 30-year history, but that isn't because it's any less of a film.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “This is one film that exceeds its tremendous pre-release ballyhoo. Few movies have ever been so much fun to watch.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Feb 6, 2019 Full Review One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) 93% “A film has to be able to stand on its own legs, separate from the work that inspires it, or not at all. Cuckoo's Nest rears back and lets its lifeblood flow.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Feb 5, 2019 Full Review Valentino (1977) 46% “The faults in this film are endless, and most of the dialogue comes off like a high school parody of what Valentino might have been like. But for all its repellent aspects, there is something fascinating about Valentino.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Seven Beauties (1976) 67% “It's a stimulating movie that provokes thought and emotion in perfect cadence.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Man on the Roof (1977) “Why was Man On the Roof made? That's difficult to answer.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Feb 4, 2019 Full Review The Battle of Chile: Part 1 (1975) 90% “Not only does this detached speechifying fall to mesh with the footage, it saps the resources of the film viewer, and frankly, makes Battle of Chile excessively boring at times.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) 90% “Kramer Vs. Kramer is a perceptive, touching, intelligent film about one of the raw sores of contemporary America, the dissolution of the family unit.” – Variety Feb 6, 2013 Full Review More American Graffiti (1979) 20% “While dazzling to the eye, the flirtation with split-screen, anamorphic, 16mm and 1:85 screen sizes does not justify itself in terms of the film's content.” – Variety Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Return From Witch Mountain (1978) 55% “Ending is ripe for a third pic in the series, and if high standards of first two are any indication, Disney org should push ahead.” – Variety Jun 11, 2008 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 90% “Apocalypse Now was worth the wait. Alternately a brilliant and bizarre film, Francis Coppola's four year "work in progress" offers the definitive validation to the old saw, "war is hell." ” – Variety Jul 2, 2007 Full Review Rocky (1976) 93% “With the simplest of materials, Stallone and Avildsen have created something magnificent and stirring. Without trading on fear, prejudice or violence, they have made an insightful statement about the human condition.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel May 8, 2002 Full Review
