Favoriting January 17, 2017: JONATHAN HERTZBERG Returns
Soundtrack fanatic Jonathan Hertzberg returns to spin a selection of cues from films of 1981, a year which has been referred to as "the last year of the 70s." Jonathan's exhaustive knowledge of John Lindsay and Ed Koch-era NYC as portrayed in film can be experienced and enjoyed through his "Dirty Old New York aka Fun City" video series. Check out Jonathan's past Morricone Island-curated shows of music from films featuring NYC preserved in all of its glory and teen-oriented coming-of-age films here and here.

Ladd company films were cool, but “Outland” sucked.

anybody remember SCTV's take on "Body Heat"? called "Prickly Heat" with Andrea Martin's Edith Prickly character -- "BOY are you STUPID! I like that in a man!" hah!

I would like to see Wolfen again. Yeah, HBO and Cinemax allowed multiple viewings of recent movies. It was fun.

I was 10 in 1981, and some of the movies I would not have been able to see in a theater by myself.
Avatar 7:29pm
Linda Lee:

most of them, probably!
Avatar 7:31pm
Linda Lee:

the nice thing about being in nyc at the time re moviegoing, was that every possible genre was available to see *in a movie theater as intended* !!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:32pm
melinda:

I think the first movie I saw on cable was All That Jazz. Also one of the first NYC-based films I'd seen, it made quite an impression.
Avatar 7:32pm
Linda Lee:

that was a pretty impressive film! very striking.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:32pm
melinda:

That would have been an exciting time, Linda.
Avatar 7:34pm

hard to explain how Mr Hertzberg's video series strikes me so deeply! as if i'm seeing my first views of my own city through cinema over again. fantastic.

dale:

was wondering if indy would make the cut.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:43pm
melinda:

@Linda: I sort of remember smelling cigarette smoke while watching Breaking Away at during a particular scene. It seems improbable now, but thanks for confirming that people did still smoke in theaters then. I liked the smell, actually.

oh yes, we definitely did. balcony only, by then.

Avatar 8:05pm
