Rollerball is one of the most underrated 70's Sci-Fi classics. Love of the Dystopian Sci-Fi of the 70's. Reflects the hangover of the 60's optimism for social change. As do political thrillers, "All The Presidents Men". "Three Days of the Condor" etc.
Evil Dead II is the best of its genre of Horror/Comedy with American Werewolf in London". Brilliant films by two great directors. Don't know what happened to John Landis' career. Given the brilliance of his films you'd think he'd be still be making films. Certainly a lot more than he has.
