Celluloid 70s

God bless us, every one!It's Scrooge! Albert Finney stars as the eponymous miser, Ebenezer Scrooge in this rousing musical adaptation of the festive classic A Christmas Carol. Pour yourself something warm and spicy, and enjoy this toe tapping, penny pinching, coffin dancing (no really!) classic.

Steam trains! Petticoats! Bernard Cribbins!Released in December 1970, The Railway Children is the epitome of wholesome, feelgood family entertainment. So what better way to celebrate the season of goodwill than to enjoy this nostalgic trip to Edwardian Yorkshire and the wholesome shenanigans of the Waterbury family.

"They set out to rob a bank...and damn near won a war instead!"Kelly's Heroes is surely one of the most loved and fondly remembered WWII movies.Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas and Donald Sutherland are on a mission to raid a bank vault full of gold bullion in German occupied France. And it turns out to be just as hard as that sounds.

A brief introduction to Bryan Forbes' short career with EMI Films

You will live every shattering moment of terror with... The Man Who Haunted Himself.What's better than a film starring Roger Moore? A filming starring TWO Roger Moores obviously. Giving his personal favourite performance, Roger Moore is Harold Pelham, a man who survives a near fatal accident, only for his life to fall apart in the aftermath. Why do people claim to have seen him in places he couldn't possibly have been? Whose car parks outside his home when he's not there? Who is the real Harold Pelham?#rogermoore #hildegardneil # antonrodgers #olgageorgespicot #freddiejones #basildearden

Murder in Pompeii. Voices in the night. Despair in the gutter. A phantasmagoria of fright!When an author's aunt is mysteriously killed, his investigations into her death bring him to the attention of mysterious forces who threaten both his safety, and his sanity. Who is behind this campaign of terror? Why would they want to kill an elderly philanthropist? And will he be allowed to discover the truth?#davidhemmings #gaylehunnicutt #florarobson #danielmassey #arthurlowe #richardcsarafianCelluloid 70s was Written, Produced and Presented by Alyson SlatteryWith theme music by The Will Andrew ExperienceMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/yeti-music/casa-vegaLicense code: HINBZ0F3J7AOYV8S 

You may not think of this as a festive favourite, but Disney classic The Aristocats was released in December 1970 and makes a great family movie to kick off the Christmas season.When retired opera singer Madame Bonfamille decides to leave her riches to her beloved cats she unwittingly sparks a chain of events which result in pampered house cat Duchess and her three kittens having to find their way home through the French countryside and Parisian rooftops, with the help of rough around the edges alley cat, Thomas O'Malley.#disney #disneyfilms #disneystudios #thearistocats #philharris #evagabor

The year 1970 offered a few fun psychological thrillers, and the first one we're going to explore is And Soon The Darkness, brought to us by the team behind TV's The Avengers.Pamela Franklin and Michele Dotrice go on an ill-fated cycling holiday to France and wish they'd paid more attention in O Level French.

It's got vampires! It's got boobs! It's got fangs! It's The Vampire Lovers!Madeline Smith and Kate O'Mara are at the mercy of Ingrid Pitt, while Peter Cushing and George Cole get a crash course in vampire slaying from Douglas Wilmer.Hammer's X-rated first entry in the Karnstein trilogy.

1970 was a bumper year for horror, and vampire movies in particular.But I'm pretty confident that Scars of Dracula was the only film where you could find George Carter from The Sweeney and that nice girl from Magpie at the mercy of Christopher Lee's Dracula, a previous incarnation of The Doctor, and the worst rubber bats you've ever seen outside a pound shop.Are you brave enough to face The Scars of Dracula?#happyhalloween#christopherlee #jennyhanley #denniswaterman #christophermatthews #patricktroughton #scarsofdracula #hammerhorror
