Back To The 70's

[bods1000]

Mayrun yung mga iba sinabi mo Pareng Bods. Ang style sa MCS ay hindi ako naghahanap ng particular na title, basta kung ano na lang ma chambahan. Yung mga na jackpot ko na ay yung Midnight Cowboy, Taxi Driver, Chariots of Fire, Tootsie, Around the World in 80 Days, Dog Day Afternoon, 12 Angry Men, In the Heat of the Night, King and I, Silver Streak, The Verdict, Blue Velvet, Carlito's Way, Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake, To k*ll a Mockingbird, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest...at isang katerba pang mga classics.

 

So far d ko pa na cha chambahan yung hinahanap nating lahat, yung Bullit. Pero ma ch chambahan ko rin yan someday. Mga iba pang classics hanap ko ay The Odd Couple, Missing, The Manchurian Candidate (with Frank Sinatra), The Omen (with Gregory Peck), The Remains of Day, A Fish Called Wanda, Ed Wood, The Marathon ("is it safe?") Man.

 

Pag nakita ko na yung Paths of Glory ni Kubrick, maari na akong mag retire !

 

Yun lang nga kailangan pag chagaan mo isa isa yung mga stalls hanggang mag-sawa ka nakatayo at tingin ng tingin. Nakaka suya minsan pag puros Iron Man, Indiana Jones, Spider Man at kung ano ano pang alang kwentang mga contemporary special effects movies ang makita mo.

 

May katotohanan pala yung kasabihan : "They don't make it the way they used to".

 

sayang yung Midnight Cowboy ah - nagkaron na pala. Most of the others you mentioned meron na din ako, and yes, the trick everywhere (MCS, Metrowalk, Quiapo) is to just sift through all the discs there until you find some gem. Mahirap pero it's all worth it if after going through several bins and stalls, you chance upon a DELIVERANCE, or a MULHOLLAND DRIVE, or a SERPICO...Ang nakakatawa pag nandun ako tatawagin ako ng mga tindero - "Sir heto mga bago". Sagot ko naman, "Yung mga luma hinahanap ko." Or everytime I go to my sukis in MCS or Metro, I would ask, "Meron bang bagong luma?"

The pirated Blue-ray discs na kumakalat ngayon have some old movies. Got 2001, enter the dragon, and clockwork orange. Pero chambahan nga.

I know what you mean.

 

A couple of weeks ago I was just breezing through some shops when I spotted several old movies.

It was a nice haul as I went home with my own copy of "SEVEN SAMURAI", a few John Wayne classics such as The Cowboys, Green Beret and Rio Grande and the Humphrey Bogart film Casa Blanca. Still waiting for a copy of The Magnificent Seven and the old Zatoichi or Watari movies. Another one I'm on the look out for is the SAMURAI series.

 

Again, they are not from the 70's but I got to know these movies in the decade.

why not instead na cd exchange tayo, mag cd/dvd/blue ray shopping eb tayo?

 

we all look for the same movies din naman, lets look for them together. choose either quiapo, metrowalk or mcs tayo.

 

i would suggest quiapo for the sheer number of shops we can comb.

[storm]

Ok ako jan!

[storm]

BTW mura na rin yung mga orig sa Astrovision et al. Got some old movies for 100-150 pesos each. At least complete ang documentary. I got The Sting, The Passenger, The Magnificent 7, Rashomon, The Seven Samurai, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Dog Day Afternoon, The Deer Hunter, Mission, Midnight Express, etc.

 

Yung pirated Blu-Ray are not Blu-Ray.

[boomouse]

trivia--who said and where can you se this famous 70's slogan?: " ang umaayaw ay hindi nagwawagi, ang nagwawagi ay hindi umaayaw." :thumbsupsmiley:

 

The slogan of the Manuel Uy PCSO Sweepstakes sales dealership

[boomouse]

put a tiger in your tank was a slogan by esso, i think. kumusta na pareng bods? i got a couple of led zep dvds but have yet to watch them.

 

about strawdogs, i remember the scene when the woman thew a kettle of bioling water to the faceof one of the villains!

 

"Put a Tiger in Your Tank" was a 60s slogan not 70s. Remember, ESSO, the Standard Vacuum Oil Company was shutdown by Martial Law in 1972 and Petron was built from the government-seized leftovers.

 

I distinctly remember the slogan because I literally thought that it was the reason why my dad's old Buick Roadmaster sounded the way it did at the time.

 

I too remember Susan George in Straw Dogs but only after the Thunderbird car her husband owned.

Bro:

 

Saan na Asrtovision yan? Tagal ko nang hanap Magnificent 7.

 

BTW, saw you on TV again the other night-- showing our exhibits uli..

Ay naku, pareng Storm korekadyan.....yung Astrovision sa Robinson's Place sa Malate ang lagi kong nahahanapan ng jackpot....Lolita (1961), The Dirty Dozen, Before Sunrise, Gung Ho, Cheech & Chong Things are Tough All Over, Exorcist III, Das Boot, THX 1138 ang mga na dscover ko dun.....mahal na ang PHP200 !

 

Sa O Music video sa Power Plant minsan nakaka chamba ng 2 for PHP199 !!! Can you believe that? Kinuha ko nga yung Rocky, Planet of the Apes, The Killing Fields!

 

Maraming mahilig sa Kurosawa pala dito...last napanuod ko ay yung "Ikiru"....ginaya ng About Schmidt ni Jack Nicholson.

 

The thing with 70's films, is the absence of technological gimmicks and just relies on plain good old story telling. Sa mga horror flicks...wala ka naman nakikitang nakakatakot pero matatakot ka parin. Sabi nga madalas, the fear of the unknown. Hardly see that nowadays, feeling ko lang na revive medyo ni M. Night Shyamalan's earlier works.

Bukas pre. Punta ka sa mga Ayala malls. Mallwide Sale hanggang Sunday. Malamang dagsaan iyan. Meron pa ngang double disc na 2001: A Space Odyssey. Mga musicals ni Gene Kelly, Exorcist, Emmanuelle, etc.

 

Anong channel pre? Buti ka pa napapanood mo ko. Pakitex naman kapag meron. Buti pa nun madaling magrecord ng mga palabas sa TV using your Betamax (para hindi OT). Sana may Teevo na dito.

 

Pareng Balakubak, iyang Lolita ang hindi ko pa napanood. Nakabili rin ako ng Infernal Affairs na naging The Departed with Jackie Boy. Hehehe. Hinahanap ko yung Blow Up, If, Marathon Man, Gone in 60 Seconds (yung original), siempre yung Bullitt, The Great Escape, The French Connection, The Poseidon Adventure, Soylent Green, yung mga Woody Allen movies, etc.

 

Yung Esso station namin noon sa Malabon naging Petron. Hehehe.

 

DVD EB na tayo tomorrow or Friday.

Pards meron akong orig vcd copy ng The Great Escape. I will burn it for you if you don't mind having a "pirated" copy. :upside:

 

Just in case may mga Neruda fans dito, I also have an orig vcd copy of Il Postino.

 

@Balakubak: Tagal ko na naghahanap ng Cheech and Chong! I will check if they still have it at Astrovision.

[16track]

OK na OK ako sa DVD exchange na din!

 

Bro, pa burn naman ng GREAT ESCAPE.

 

Storm--can you burrn me a copy na din ng Magnificent 7 please?

 

Tagal ko na hanap niyan. I just called up several Astrovision branches and wala na daw silang stock.

 

I'll check what I have in my cabinet.
