Continuing with my look at the best movies of years gone by.

Top 10 Movies of 1974:

1. The Godfather Part II - Al Pacino, Robert De Niro
2. Chinatown - Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway
3. Blazing Saddles - Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder 
4. The Longest Yard - Burt Reynolds, Eddie Albert
5. Young Frankenstein - Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman
6. Death Wish - Charles Bronson, Hope Lange
7. The Towering Inferno - Paul Newman, Steve McQueen
8. Murder on the Orient Express - Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall
9. Airport 1975 - Charlton Heston, George Kennedy
10. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - Marilyn Burns, Edwin Neal

"The Godfather Part II" just may be the best sequel ever.  "Chinatown" is one of Jack Nicholson's best films.  "Blazing Saddles" was arguably Mel Brooks greatest film, just ahead of "Young Frankenstein".  "The Longest Yards" perfectly combines the football and prison genres.  "Death Wish" is perhaps the best vigilante film ever made.  If you love disaster movies, you can't help but love "The Towering Inferno" and "Airport 1975".  "Murder on the Orient Express" is a great murder mystery.  "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is without doubt one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.
