264 The Last Picture Show Part 1
What film symbolizes the cinema of the 1970's for you? Is it the operatic majesty of the Godfather films? The descent into madness of Taxi Driver? Maybe it's the brilliant dialogue of Network or the sheer terror of Jaws. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with any of those movies. The fact is the 1970's was an incredible decade for movies and one of the most stark, honest and powerful examples is Peter Bogdanavich's 1971 masterpiece, The Last Picture Show.
