Movies from 1975

All Creatures Great and Small (1975)

92 mins     Biography, Drama, TV Movie      

All Creatures Great and Small (1975) Simon Ward and Anthony Hopkins star as vets James Herriot and Siegfried Farnon in this TV movie version of the popular TV show...

Bite the Bullet (1975)

132 mins     Action , Adventure , Western      

Maybe it was my fault, maybe I saw the cast of "Bite the Bullet" and thought maybe this would be an impressive western, a 70s hoorah for the western which would help dispatch some of the memories of other less than impressive...

Brannigan (1975)

111 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

By the 1970s cinema was changing, westerns were for the most over and cop thrillers were the order of the day. Clint Eastwood had shown the way with "Dirty Harry" and so we got John Wayne following suit, first with "McQ" and ...

Breakheart Pass (1975)

95 mins     Mystery, Western      

When is a western not a western, when it is "Murder on the Orient Express" in disguise or at least that is how "Breakheart Pass" comes across. It is an interesting idea to have a western mystery movie and to be frank a welcom...

Breakout (1975)

96 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

"Breakout" is one of those movies which technically isn't very good but it's still entertaining thanks to plenty of daftness. Ironically the daftness is part of the reason why "Breakout" isn't very good because it jars with t...

Carry on Behind (1975)

90 mins     Comedy      

Whilst "Carry on Dick", released the year before, was almost a return to form for the "Carry On" movies, "Carry on Behind" was a big nail in the franchises coffin. It is for me one of the worst "Carry On" movies and with the ...

Columbo: A Case of Immunity (1975)

70 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

If I said that 90% of "Columbo: A Case of Immunity" is typical that is a good thing because who wants to watch an episode of "Columbo" where Peter Falk comes out of character or investigates something which isn't a murder. As...

Columbo: A Deadly State of Mind (1975)

70 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

"Columbo: A Deadly State of Mind" ticks all the boxes when it comes to one of the 70s episodes of the wonderful crime series. We have a few celebrity cameos with George Hamilton delivering slick but deadly as psychiatrist Col...

Columbo: Forgotten Lady (1975)

100 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

"Columbo: Forgotten Lady" is one of those episodes you initially think is pretty straight forwards as we have Janet Leigh playing a former Hollywood star still living on her past glories who kills her husband due to his refus...

Columbo: Identity Crisis (1975)

95 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

On paper the idea behind "Columbo: Identity Crisis" is a good one, pitch the brilliant but seemingly bumbling brain of Columbo against the skills of a spy who is a trained killer and is an expert in covering their tracks. The...

Columbo: Playback (1975)

73 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

I wonder what it must have been like to watch "Columbo: Playback" back in 1975 when it was released as it presented the public with this home filled with electronic gadgets, from surveillance equipment with control centres hi...

Columbo: Troubled Waters (1975)

93 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

One of the first things which strikes you about "Columbo: Troubled Waters", especially when you are a fan of the series, is that this one starts with Columbo rather than focusing on the murderer. It is just a brief moment of ...

The Deadly Tower (1975)

100 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller, TV Movie      

When ever there is some major tragedy it seems like a TV movie is not far behind; the Chileans miners crisis was followed by a TV movie, a child abducted which made press headlines a TV movie followed and whilst it came 9 yea...

The Devil's Rain (1975)

86 mins     Horror      

I read some where many years back that "The Devil's Rain" was one of the worst movies ever made, maybe it was back in 1975 when it was released with advertising making it out to be more than it ended up but watched 40 years l...

The Eiger Sanction (1975)

123 mins     Action , Adventure      

On paper "The Eiger Sanction" sounds like a great movie with Clint Eastwood playing a hitman for a shady Government agency drawn out of retirement to kill two men with the drama culminating in a mountain climb. Unfortunately ...

The Fortune (1975)

88 mins     Comedy, Crime, Romance      

I have watched "The Fortune" three times now and that it isn't because I liked it, in fact the second time I watched it was only to confirm what I thought when I first watched it which was as a whole it doesn't work. But ther...

French Connection II (1975)

119 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

I wasn't a fan of the first "French Connection" and struggled to see why so many felt it was a classic. Ironically I actually prefer the follow up, "French Connection II", as it is a lot more watchable with less focus on the ...

Funny Lady (1975)

136 mins     Comedy, Drama, Musical      

So there are a lot of things I could tell you about "Funny Lady"; I could tell you that reportedly Barbra Streisand didn't want to make the movie but was contractually obligated and supposedly faced litigation if she didn't. ...

Hard Times (1975)

93 mins     Drama, Short      

Hard Times (aka: The Streetfighter): Charles Bronson & Charles Coburn are the street fighter and the gambler who make a name for themselves in this depression era movie from Walter Hill...

The Hindenburg (1975)

125 mins     Adventure , Disaster, Drama      

Watching "The Hindenburg" now 25 years after it was released you could say it was the "Titanic" of the 70s. Here we have a movie which takes the true story of The Hindenburg airship which on the 6th of May 1937 burst into fla...
