Gimme Shelter

Director: Albert Maysles
His 5th movie
My 3rd movie watched from the director

This documentary could have been edited straight-forward but they approached it a very different way for 1970, which works for the most part. The tone of the movie is perfect and it really addresses the mess and confusion perfectly.

Five Easy Pieces (1970)

Nicholson is entertaining and the script is great but the pacing kills me and prevents it from being a 70's classic.

The Aristocats (1970)

Patton (1970)

An epic biopic of the famed general. One of the most iconic opening scenes sets forth a great film, even if it gets a bit too long.

M*A*S*H (1970)
