5.0 out of 5 stars Jaws, Star Wars, Grease, Taxi Driver do I even need to go on, August 26, 2003
By James N Simpson (Gold Coast, QLD Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Like the other decade books in this series Film Posters of the 70's is a sensational buy. You could either keep it intact as a collection of posters in a book to show and discuss with friends, or cut the book up and actually have a vast number of posters up on your wall. This book is about a third the size of your standard film poster and most movies are full page colour. Any of them would look great up on the wall.

The 70's gave the world Star Wars, Grease, The Godfather, Mad Max, Alien, Taxi Driver, Texas Chainsaw Massacure, Halloween, Rocky and a very blood thirsty shark who changed human perception of sharks for decades to come named Jaws. These films along with other greats fill this book. Roger Moore also took over from Connery as James Bond and Clint Eastwood made a heap of Westerns. Find them here as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars A trip down memory lane, March 4, 2005
When I first looked at this book, it was like going back to my childhood, well, sort of, it was so neat to see posters of some of my favorite films from back then and a lot from movies that I never knew they made. The artwork on those posters is most certainly something to see and admire!!! If you love art and or movies this is THE book to get you won't be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Title tells the story, August 17, 2009
By Todd Stockslager (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews
  
Title tells the story in this coffee-table collection of movie poster reproductions. The artwork is surprisingly varied and strong in many of the posters; those posters truly stand alone as art. Some of it holds up well, looking as fresh as the day it was posted on the "coming attractions" signboard; others are inextricably linked to their time and place, and probably looked out of date before they were pulled down. Take (please!) "The Poseidon Adventure" or "The Long Goodbye", for example. Examples of the best artwork: "Alien", the young and iconic Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," and the timeless poses of John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever" and Sylvester Stallone in "Rocky".

Couple of knocks on the book: There are no essays on either the movies or the posters advertising them, and no explicit organization to the posters, although they seem to be roughly arranged by genre (including some posters for X-rated movies with nudity; take care if your coffee table is accessible to children). And despite the coffee table size of the book, some of the reproductions are too small to do the artwork justice. The pages saved by printing some of the posters two or three to a page isn't worth the loss in clarity.

Movie buffs who find a copy of this book used or discounted will consider it a great bargain.
