I really want to increase the amount of 70's movies that I've seen, and comedies from any era are always so much fun to watch. I've already seen the funny Woody Allen movies from the 70's, Blazing Saddles, The Pink Panther series, just wondering what the gang here finds funny and what I may have missed all these years. Please recommend below, thanks.  |

If you like it black an outrageously funny film is Where's Poppa? (1970) George Segal and Ruth Gordon  |

If you like it black an outrageously funny film is Where's Poppa? (1970) That still from Where's Poppa? reminded me: Shlock (1973), John Landis's extremely low-budget directorial debut, was hoots all the way through. Milos Forman's now hard-to-find first U.S. film, Taking Off (1971), was a gem. Music licensing issues have kept it from domestic home video release for many years. |

I'll add Slither (1973) to the pile.  Seems forgotten now. |

 So sad to think that all of the stars of this film have passed away. Doesn't seem possible. |

I've looked for Schlock before and had no luck. But I never surrender! Don't think I'd ever heard of Taking Off before, but what a great cast. |

This is a really great movie, one of Jack's best and definitely Randy Quaid's finest! |

I'll add Slither (1973) to the pile. Seems forgotten now. I really like James Caan but have not seen Sliither. That title makes me think "killer snake movie" but apparently that assumption is wrong. Will look for it, thanks. |

So sad to think that all of the stars of this film have passed away. Doesn't seem possible. Loved this when I saw it years ago, by the same writer of Foul Play, another great 70's action comedy. I just noticed it was on Netflix and plan to rewatch it soon. Jill Clayburgh and Gene Wilder both died recently, which means the main cast of this movie are all gone now, it is hard to believe really.  |

Good movie, like a wackier version of The Dirty Dozen almost. |
