I love these movies which critics almost universally trashed:1. Americathon
2. Death Race 2000 (the original)
3. Kentucky-Fried Movie
4. Fletch Lives
5. Spies Like Us
6. High Anxiety
7. In Harm's Way
8. Gone In 60 Seconds (the original, which was far, far better than the remake)
9. Vanishing Point
10. Zabriskie Point
11. Carwash
12. The Strawberry Statement
13. The Harrad Experiment
14. The Valachi Papers
15. Death Wish (despite my total opposition to this films political statements - and there are many - I can't deny that it is an exceptionally well-made and exciting film. Forget the countless sequels, though)
16. Billy Jack
17. It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
18. Zardoz (which I still think is one of the top sci-fi films of the 70s)
19. They Call Me Trinity (a comedy spaghetti-western that is really a dead-on spoof of the genre)
20. Bamboozled! (Spike Lee is misunderstood but one of our best filmmakers)12.
