I don’t think of movies in years anymore. I think in waves....How did we ever get through the summer, for example, on Welcome To L. A. and Audrey Rose? I barely did. But the past few weeks there’s been a whole bunch of movies I want to see; even took in six in five days last week.

Boy Howdy’s Top Ten Movies Of’77

I don’t think of movies in years anymore. I think in waves....How did we ever get through the summer, for example, on Welcome To L. A. and Audrey Rose? I barely did. But the past few weeks there’s been a whole bunch of movies I want to see; even took in six in five days last week. I don’t thirik it’s getting any easier for filmmakers to market independent projects, though occasionally there is money behind a few. In New York, Jonathan Demme and Paramount Pictures showed Handle With Carefbrfree just to get people to see it. That’s how it wound up here. I hope other companies with offbeat but winning material can continue making that kind of commitment. Otherwise, it’s John Travolta for you and Dominique Sanda for me—permanently—and for an occasional laugh, a Barbra Streisand flick. I’m still not ready to turn in my badge to Burt Reynolds. Not even on the chance that his ship came in with Semi-Tough. (
