And Now, From Walled Lake
CREEM’s hometown staff, which doesn’t go to a lot of those toney Big City movies, preferring instead to continue to indulge itself in the dregs of commercial garbage, herewith submits its top ten movies of 1972, featuring several flicks you’ll surely find nowhere else, since nobody else went to see ’em.
And Now, From Walled Lake
CREEM’s hometown staff, which doesn’t go to a lot of those toney Big City movies, preferring instead to continue to indulge itself in the dregs of commercial garbage, herewith submits its top ten movies of 1972, featuring several flicks you’ll surely find nowhere else, since nobody else went to see ’em. The list is alphabetical, a unique diplomatic venture suggested by what few cooler heads exist among our perilous personnel, in order to prevent a recurrence of the hostilities which narrowed the list to ten possibilities in the first place.
1 Blind Man — Starring our hero, Ringo Starr (but not as Ray Charles), Tony Anthony and the Mexican desert, as seen from the Spanish plains.
2 Conquest of Planet of the Apes — Starring Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter, and a bunch of people, some of them quite civilized.
3 The Godfather — Starring an aged but beautiful Marlon Brando, and that epitome of punkitude, A1 Pacino.
4 Lady Sings the Blues - Starring Diana Ross (as Billie Holiday), Billy Dee Williams as Lewis McKay and our man, Richard Pryor, as the funniest piano player in all Harlem.
