THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN (1971)
Much as I love this movie, it does have an air of self-importance. Not that the viral obliteration of all life on earth isn’t a crisis of note, but I’ve often wondered if this movie wasn’t perhaps just one grand excuse to get an aging David Wayne to do a nude scene.
The Andromeda Strain (Amazon – DVD)
Thats a great selection and the inclusion of Airport 75 is genius.
Guess you don’t watch a lot of foreign cinema 😉 I can name a number of bonkytits pictures that leave most of these in the dust. Week End (1967), Fitzcarraldo (1982), Diabel (1974), The Laughing Woman (1969), Last Year at Marienbad (1961), anything by Lars von Trier… And how come Zabriskie Point (1970) didn’t make this list? Classic.
You forgot the award in Magnolia: The Tom Cruise Award for the presence of the incomparably self-important Tom Cruise. I know… it’s so obvious it’s redundant…
