The Treasure of Jamaica Reef (1974)
Pure Garbage!
This has got to be, without a doubt, the worst movie I have ever seen! I tried watching it for a little 70's nostalgia....but it was just too bad (I'll stick to movies from the 40's and 50's thank you!).
The soundtrack was nothing but annoying noise...the writing bland; the story was absurd (Yeah...like this group of doofuses could even walk down a street without getting mugged, much less find a treasure!) and the acting made the Brady Bunch seem Shakespearian by comparison! If I had walked in on this movie, I would've thought it was a skit making fun of 70's movies...only it's not funny. I was wishing all the characters would just get a good case of the bends and disappear!
The Squeeze (1978)
Pointless, But Good For 70's Nostalgia
CONTAINS A SPOILER!! This film was totally pointless. There are no characters to like or with whom one can identify(This was a rare instance where I almost found myself rooting for the cops). It's one redeeming feature, is that it does offer some realistic 70's nostalgia (cars, New York street scenes, and a funky synthesizer sound track that varies between comical and almost interesting at points). It is watchable though- while the writing wasn't by any means great, it does hold ones interest fairly well, and you don't quite know what to expect.
