Pure entertainment of some sort. <br />It wasn't until I started dating Phil at 17 that I started taking film seriously. That was the time for that.

During the 1970s all we had was THE BRADY BUNCH and similar TV shows plus all those Disney movies with kids in them. I really wasn't interested in watching teen life in the movies at all. I sure didn't need movies to speak to me was I was clueless teen. I just wanted to be entertained. I saw THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE and loved it. Probably my favorite movie as a youngster. I was 11 then so not quite a teen. I don't know how I got in to see it but I definitely saw it in a theater in 1975. My older brother must've looked old enough to be our "guardian". For weeks afterward my friends and I would reenact the death scenes on the playground jungle gym during recess. That's the weirdo kid I was. Movies didn't "speak to me" until I was in college. Up till then it was just entertainment.J F Norrishttp://prettysinister.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-48695476054677834892016-10-05T06:57:28.000-04:002016-10-05T06:57:28.000-04:00Somewhat off-topic, but going back to Jeff's c...Somewhat off-topic, but going back to Jeff's comment about instrumentals, we have a great 5-CD set from Rhino called Rock Instrumental Classics. There's a CD each for the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, plus one for surf and one for soul instrumentals. Everything from Duane Eddy's "Rebel Rouser" to Apollo 100's "Joy" to the Chantay's "Pipeline" to (my personal favorite) the T-Bones' "No Matter What Shape Your Stomach's In". Great stuff--highly recommended.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-72912797803274682872016-10-05T00:14:44.155-04:002016-10-05T00:14:44.155-04:00I was out of my teens when I saw it, but a movie a...I was out of my teens when I saw it, but a movie about teens that always stuck in my head was called IF.
