Can you complete the titles of these 1970s summer movies?

The best part was, these flicks only cost a couple of bucks.

On Now
We can’t imagine going to the movies without popcorn!
Up Next:

The blockbuster summer movie season as we know it began in the 1970s. We can thank George Lucas and Steven Spielberg for that, as Jaws and Star Wars had people lining up down the sidewalk.


Of course, those 1975 and 1977 smashes did not invent the idea of the summer movie. After all, teen beach movies were big business in the Sixties.

Horror, comedy and action were all on offer in the hottest months. See if you can remember the missing words from these hit movies of the 1970s.
  1. 'Animal _______' was the third biggest movie of 1978.

Cute and funny. You playing one on Texasluva (Alan), huh? Its that electricity and speed of light thing that takes awhile. Especially if one is in CA or even Siberia like I was last week. Takes time 😉

Well, thank you so much. It was getting kind of lonely here on the site. Am sorry I missed the tribute intended for Canada! But trust you celebrated appropriately!

Since there weren't any stories here about Fourth of July, wrote a little piece to accompany MeTV's 2017 article. Definitely to be filed under nostalgia!!

Thanks Pacificsun. I love those old food ads. I admit I’ll try pretty much anything, however, potato salad on a hot dog doesn’t do it for me. Loved the Yankee Doodle wiener though. I rarely eat ice cream but wouldn’t mind trying the raspberry, vanilla and blueberry version. I love to see the canned luncheon meat and Jello spelling out July 4th. Fun article!

No, Mountain Dew Baja Blast is permanent, it has a blast of Natural and Artificial Tropical Lime Flavor. And I love it.
