TPSG Top 10 Movies of 1976

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

Top 10 Movies of 1976:
  1. Rocky - Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire
  2. Taxi Driver - Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster
  3. All the President's Men - Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford
  4. Network - Faye Dunaway, William Holden
  5. Marathon Man - Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier
  6. The Omen - Gregory Peck, Lee Remick
  7. The Bad News Bears - Walter Matthau, Tatum O'Neal
  8. King Kong - Jeff Bridges, Jessica Lange
  9. The Outlaw Josey Wales - Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke
  10. The Enforcer - Clint Eastwood, Tyne Daly
There is no way that "Rocky" doesn't make the top of this list, the original was easily the best of the series.  Robert DeNiro as Travis Bickle in "Taxi Driver" is unforgettable.  Redford and Hoffman as Woodward and Bernstein tell a great story in "All the President's Men".  Who can ever forget that Peter Finch "I'm mad as hell" scene in "Network"?  Or the dentist scene in "Marathon Man"?  "The Omen" is one of my all time favorite horror films.  I loved "The Bad News Bears", it's a terrific baseball movie and loads of fun.  King Kong wasn't the only one crushing on Jessica Lange after the release of "King Kong".  "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is one of the better Western films that I've seen.  I loved those Dirty Harry Callahan movies of Clint Eastwood, and "The Enforcer" is no exception.
