Sex, Drugs and Revolution
The 70s weren't just about smiley face buttons, polyester pantsuits, and Jonathan Livingston Seagull; this powerful trio gives a glimpse at the dark underbelly of "The Me Decade." It was an era of independent directors who captured a grittier vision of life. From street junkies and militant politics, to shocking new boundaries in the sexual revolution, these films form a telling snapshot of that point in time.
Born To Win Robert De Niro, in one of his earliest roles, is terrific in this brutal look at the drug world. George Segal stars as J.J., an urban loser and smart mouthed junkie who spends his days looking for just one more fix. Karen Black also co-stars as his equally hopeless girlfriend.
Katherine Shades of Patty Hearst! Sissy Spacek is a wealthy debutant drawn into the radical politics of the era- with deadly results. Joining ever more extreme groups, she ends up convinced that destruction is the only path to social progress. Henry Winkler and Art Carney also star.
The Harrad Experiment Co-ed dorms may be commonplace now - but when this movie came out, the idea could still raise eyebrows. Harrad College is an experimental university where students are assigned roommates of the opposite sex - and must change partners every 30 days. Don Johnson, Tippi Hedren and James Whitmore star in this cult classic about the sexual revolution.
