I also grew up in the 70s.

You had me at “Pollack, Scorcese, Pakula, Jewison, Lumet, Hill, Siegel, Friedkin, Winner.”

Very good insight. I grew up in the 1970's in North Hollywood. Not exactly the city but Hollywood was close enough and was just as you described the "city." I suppose the movies of the time did innoculate me when I entered those different places. Our creature comforts today are much better for sure but I still long to see a good movie today or even enjoy Walt Disney's Disneyland of the 70's. I'm curious, what does the MF stand for? Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I also grew up in the 70's... in D.C. back in those days it was said that you could tell time by counting the seconds between bodies as they floated by on the Anacostia River. I remember my Dad driving us to New York City and taking pictures of Times Square when it was still porn shops and liquor store. The MF stands for "M&$%ther F*@&$cking"
