"Payday" is on YouTube in full, as is one of my favorite movies, "MIkey and Nicky"…. "Stroszek" is a fine movie, too.

Re: Gritty, Natural, Realistic Movies of the 1970s
I've always thought there's something sort of…..off about 70's movies.
😺 Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. 🤨 Let's go, Brandon! 🤨 Try that in a small town.

Okay: The Wicker Man, Vanishing Point, Black Sunday, Harold and Maude, Earthquake, Don't Look Now, Airport, Dog Day Afternoon, Who is Killing The Great Chefs of Europe?, Marathon Man, Coma, The China Syndrome, and The Stepford Wives.
To me, all of these films seem a bit…..off.

Payday starring Rip Torn.
Yes, this is really me.

Re: Gritty, Natural, Realistic Movies of the 1970s
A fun, but VERY good movie… It's on YouTube for anyone is interested.
Rip Torn is one of my favorite actors, especially in "The Larry Sanders Show", but plays a psychiatrist who records his sexual escapades. It's not a great movie (like the one where he plays Henry Miller), but they're worth watching, and might be more liked on the subsequent viewing.

The Whole Shootin' Match by Eagle Pennell. I also recommend Last Night at the Alamo by the same director even though it's an 80's film.

Re: Gritty, Natural, Realistic Movies of the 1970s
What about "Last Tango In Paris"? It might be stylish, but it still fits the criteria of "gritty, natural, and realistic" for its time.

Saw them all except "Cria Cuervos" (but I love Saura's first movie, "La Caza") but I did try a couple of times, and it wasn't clicking.
"Mikey and Nicky" is one of my favorites. 10/10.. It's such a funny (and tragic) movie.
"Mom, if anything happens to me, Nicky did it!"

Gritty, Natural, Realistic Movies of the 1970s
-Fat City
-Minnie And Moskowitz
-The Visitors
-The Blue Motel
-Wanda
and "Les Chat" (The Cat) from France, featuring Jean Gabin and Simona Signoret
Some are very low-budget (maybe all), but it features some fine acting, script, and the general story… Some don't have much movement, some take place in one setting. By the mid-70s, it got stylized with "Taxi Driver" and seemed to have died down since in favor of blockbusters, instead of the more personal movie.
Does anyone have any favorites or recommendations?
