Top Ten Films Of 1974!
By an Amazon.com customer

	The Godfather, Part II (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition) Buy used from: $2.15 The best film of the year is the only sequel to have ever won an Oscar, but really who cares? The movie is a masterpiece. Many feel it is better than the original. One of Coppola's best.
	Scenes From a Marriage - Criterion Collection Buy new: $36.49 / Used from: $28.60 This Ingmar Bergman film is the greatest film I have seen as of yet on the subject of love and marriage. At times it seems almost too realistic. Few films have matched its intensity.
	Chinatown Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $3.99 Maybe one of the all time great noir films. Jack Nicholson has seldom been better and Polanski has made few better than this.
	Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore [VHS] Buy used from: $0.49 At first it might seem like an odd choice for director Martin Scorsese but this is actually one of his best films.
	A Woman Under the Influence [Region 2] Gena Rowlands' performance in this intense, emotionally draining John Cassavetes film may be the best of her career.
	Day for Night Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $6.59 Francois Truffaut's love letter to cinema is one of his very best films. Gene Siskel called it the best film of the year.
	The Mother and the Whore [VHS] Buy used from: $41.99 Jean Eustache's film doesn't seems as shocking as Bertolucci's "Last Tango in Paris" but few films do. Here though we have an entertaining look at the games people play.
	The Conversation Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.10 Francis Ford Coppola borrows from 'Blow-Up' but makes a film that is his own. Hackman delivers one of his best performances.
	Blazing Saddles Buy used from: $1.98 Mel Brooks' first hit film is also the funniest comedy of all time!
	Daisy Miller Buy used from: $1.99 Peter Bogdanovich's adaptation of James' novel was bashed at first, but now I think some have warmed up to it. Cybill Shepard is wonderful.
