Where To Watch
Can you complete the titles of these 1970s summer movies?
The best part was, these flicks only cost a couple of bucks.
The blockbuster summer movie season as we know it began in the 1970s. We can thank George Lucas and Steven Spielberg for that, as Jaws and Star Wars had people lining up down the sidewalk.
Of course, those 1975 and 1977 smashes did not invent the idea of the summer movie. After all, teen beach movies were big business in the Sixties.
Horror, comedy and action were all on offer in the hottest months. See if you can remember the missing words from these hit movies of the 1970s.

That's coz I sent it then. For the Movie Quiz🤳. Knock knock 🤣
I know you sent it an hour ago, but I didn’t get it till now…it took awhile to get here 😆
Cute and funny. You playing one on Texasluva (Alan), huh? Its that electricity and speed of light thing that takes awhile. Especially if one is in CA or even Siberia like I was last week. Takes time 😉
Well, thank you so much. It was getting kind of lonely here on the site. Am sorry I missed the tribute intended for Canada! But trust you celebrated appropriately!
Since there weren't any stories here about Fourth of July, wrote a little piece to accompany MeTV's 2017 article. Definitely to be filed under nostalgia!!

Happy 4th of July LoveMETV22!
Thanks Pacificsun. I love those old food ads. I admit I’ll try pretty much anything, however, potato salad on a hot dog doesn’t do it for me. Loved the Yankee Doodle wiener though. I rarely eat ice cream but wouldn’t mind trying the raspberry, vanilla and blueberry version. I love to see the canned luncheon meat and Jello spelling out July 4th. Fun article!
No, Mountain Dew Baja Blast is permanent, it has a blast of Natural and Artificial Tropical Lime Flavor. And I love it.
I just got three messages from you. Two appear to be duplicates. Hiw annoying!
How!
I know, I get the same from you too 🤷♀️
Happy 4th of July AllisonWunderland!

Logan's Run! When I went to see it with two friends, no one was manning the ticket booth
so me and my friend Tim walked in and sat down at The Blue Star Theater. The other guy
Bob had lagged behind, when he got to the booth it was manned so he paid, when he
sat down with us, we told him we got in free. He fumed and pouted that he paid, got up
and 2 minutes later returned with the manager and pointed us out!
We had to pay up, fine, but I will never forget that dirty rat, as soon as the flick was over he
ran out, and for a good year in the neighborhood he ran away whenever he saw me.
