Reviewing Dracula AD 1972 made me wonder about the high quality of other films that were released in the year I was born. Sure, we all know the big ones — The Godfather, for instance. But what movies defined 1972 by Teleport City standards?
It was a pretty good year, apparently.

I believe that was the year that Angela Mao whooped “A” with Hapkido and Godzilla fought Gigan. Wonderful stuff, indeed.

Let’s see….. In 1972, I needed to ask permisssion from my Mom to stay up late to watch Them on Dr. Cadavererino in Milwaukee. Around the same time, I saw that Michael Caine movie with the undead hand that was following him around. I think it was called “That Undead Hand That Folowed MIchael Caine Around.”
Then we moved to Indiana and I started watchin Sammy Terry. So by that e token, most of the movies that defined 1972 were released no later than than 1966.
On the other hand, my sister, who was about six years older than me, came home with a report on The Abominable Dr. Phibes around the same time. Maybe a few years later, but I know it was before 1974.

Well, the year I was born we got great stuff like Patton, Tora, Tora, Tora and Two Mules For Sister Sara (shut up, I like it!). Good Teleport City fodder can be found in the likes of THX 1138, Airport and Kelly’s Heroes, though.
