Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, by Peter Biskind It's a book about movies in the 70s.

The Kid Stays in the Picture by Robert Evans, same kind of thing, written by a studio head.

Pic up any of the lat Dr. Thompson's 70s output, 'tis good, and will give you a weird view of those weird times.

Movies: there's tons, I like stuff like The Parallax View, 3 Days of the Condor, and Network. I went on ahuge 70s movies kick about 8 or 9 years ago...watched a ton of the "good ones"

I am also a fan of 70s distopian views of the future ala Planet of the Apes (med in 68) and Soilent Green.

Wet Hot American Summer? That takes place in 1981, but close enough.

Parts of Blow and Goodfellas. Mix in Boogie Nights and Scarface and you've got an great evening of 70's coke movies.

Also The Ice Storm is an excellent view of 70s suburbia that would fit alongside the Virgin Suicides.

And the winner is... Riding Giants. I got this really awesome feeling while watching Dog Park, eeking out adolescence through the millenium just made me crave for a time of fun and raudiness devoid of the despairation and triviliality of our current times. Dog Park just hit home everything wonderful about that era. Hopefully Riding Giants will continue that emotion. You know, kinda like the first time you heard Beth Orton's Daybreaker?

The Ice Storm also sounds choice.

Ah yes, Dazed and Confused.

Proof that any actor, no matter how bad, has at least one good role in one good film.
