Movies from 1970

A Man Called Sledge (1970)

93 mins     Western      

A Man Called Sledge (1970) James Garner stars as an outlaw planning to spend a night in prison to rob it off the gold it has stored in a vault...

Airport (1970)

137 mins     Disaster, Drama, Thriller      

"Airport" is a very good disaster movie, one of the more memorable out of the numerous 70s disaster movies, which builds to a crescendo of action and excitement which draws you to the edge of your seat, gripped by what is goi...

An Elephant Called Slowly (1970)

91 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

"An Elephant Called Slowly" is an utterly curious and utterly delightful even eccentric movie made from 1970 which paired up husband and wife team Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna in another soiree into African wildlife. But...

And Soon the Darkness (1970)

99 mins     Mystery, Thriller      

Whilst I have nothing against elaborate horror movies some times those which are built on a simple and realistic premise can be the best and anyone who has been all on their own in a foreign country, unable to speak the langu...

The AristoCats (1970)

78 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

Whilst I am sure younger audiences love their CGI animations such as "Finding Nemo" I am a lover of old school animations and one of my favourite is "The AristoCats" reportedly the last of the cartoons green lit by Walt Disne...

The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970)

121 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance, Western      

As a fan of the western genre it would be fair to say that sometimes one western starts to merge with the next as familiar storylines and cliche scenes crop up time and again. It's usually at this point, when I start to get t...

The Bounty Hunters (1970)

104 mins     Western      

As spaghetti westerns go "The Bounty Hunters", which is also hown as "Adios Sabata", is surprisingly not that entertaining and I say surprisingly because this one stars the brilliant Yul Brynner. Maybe I expected more, maybe ...

Carry on Loving (1970)

88 mins     Comedy      

I don't mind the occassional "Carry On" movie especially when they ply you with sexual innuendo accompanied by a humorous storyline. And that is probably why I have never enjoyed "Carry on Loving" because there is very little...

Carry on Up the Jungle (1970)

89 mins     Comedy      

The best way to describe "Carry on Up the Jungle" is that it is an uneasy pastiche on a series of different movies. It starts as if it is sending up the likes of "Mogambo" with an expedition into the jungle fraught with dange...

The Cheyenne Social Club (1970)

103 mins     Comedy, Western      

"The Cheyenne Social Club" is a movie all about James Stewart and Henry Fonda, their differences and friendship so whilst we may have a storyline about John O'Hanlan inheriting a whore house it plays second fiddle to their am...

Chisum (1970)

111 mins     Western      

Take the legendary figures of William H. Bonney (aka Billy the Kid) and Pat Garrett and then throw in the character of John Chisum played by western icon John Wayne and what do you get? Well to be honest you get "Chisum" a ve...

Commando Attack (1970)

84 mins     Action , Thriller, War      

What do you do when you have run out of ideas but need to make a movie; well you throw in a twist which is ridiculous. What I am no about is "Commando Attack", aka "Churchill's Leopards", which gives us a straight forwards wa...

The Conformist (1970)

111 mins     Drama, Foreign      

There is no denying that with "The Conformist" Bernardo Bertolucci has delivered a visually stunning movie but stunning doesn't mean good. The trouble is that the style dominates the movie and it almost feels like Bertolucci ...

Cool It, Carol! (1970)

102 mins     Comedy, Drama      

Cool It, Carol! (1970) Robin Askwith & Janet Lynn star as the naive young adults who head to London to make it only to end up in the adult entertainment industry...

Cromwell (1970)

139 mins     Biography, Drama      

Cromwell: Richard Harris stars as Oliver Cromwell who leads the rebellion against the crown and the policies of King Charles I (Alec Guinness)...

Deep End (1970)

92 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

I've mentioned it before but certain movies work for a certain generation and "Deep End" I am sure is one of them. Made back in the late 60s and featuring a story which crosses teen obsession with sexual liberation it now see...

Django and Sartana Are Coming... It's the End (1970)

90 mins     Western      

As spaghetti westerns go I would say that "Django and Sartana Are Coming... It's the End" just about manages to go through the motions with a basic storyline which sees some bad guys taking a woman hostage and then to spaghet...

Entertaining Mr Sloane (1970)

94 mins     Comedy, Horror, Mystery      

As a child who grew up in the 80s I remember seeing Beryl Reid in this or that often playing one of those amusing, slightly quirky grandmother types. It is because of this I have to say I got quite a shock as I started to wat...

Five Bloody Graves (1970)

88 mins     Western      

After the shocking credits "Five Bloody Graves" starts in a poor but okay way as we see Ben Thompson riding across the country. Yes the image quality is poor but it is no worse than countless westerns from over the years and ...

Hell Boats (1970)

95 mins     Drama, War      

If "Hell Boats" had been made in the 50s I would have said it was insulting, but this is a 1970's movie which was more about boy's own action & adventure than war realism. In fact that is all that "Hell Boats" is, a boy's own...
