1974 Harvard Lampoon Movie Worst Awards
Re: 1974 Harvard Lampoon Movie Worst Awards
The Night Porter is a masterpiece. It's the kinky subject matter along with the Nazo angle that dodn't go down well with American critics.

Re: The Night Porter: Rumor has it that when Dirk Bogarde walked out in full Nazi regalia while filming in Austria he was afraid of a potential negative reaction. Ironically, the people who saw him applauded.

Re: 1974 Harvard Lampoon Movie Worst Awards
I couldn't vote for Airport '75 because it's such a camp classic favorite of mine. I love Karen Black's walk through Dulles Airport in the beginning which is one of the airports of my childhood (and was partly designed by my uncle). I ran into a group of gay men at Winter Party in Miami seven years ago who were dressed up (in drag) as the cast of Airport '75, down to the last stitch. It was absolutely incredible.
And The Night Porter is great stuff! Charlotte Rampling is simply haunting in it.
I'll vote for the unnecessary The Front Page remake as well.

Nor have most people. That's why the vote is for the worst film you've seen from among the nominees.Precious Doll wrote:I can't vote as I have never seen S*P*Y*S.

I can't vote as I have never seen S*P*Y*S but of the remaining nominees Airport '75 would get my vote.

My award goes Billy Wilder's embarrassingly bad remake of The Front Page.
