Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Just say that title out loud. We've been desensitized to it because of all the lame sequels and exposure to even this one. But just say it out loud and really think about it. The title alone is one of the greatest titles ever.
This is also one of the greatest films ever. One thing that is far too commonly forgotten or overlooked about it is the beautiful shots and elegant cinematography. We get long scenic views…
This film carries itself in such a mysterious and intriguingly elegant way.
Full of incredible performances, storytelling that blur the line between intricate and straightforward, and absolutely captivating cinematography. This one easily secures it's place at #1 movie of the year.

This is contender for scariest movie of the '70s. It's ominous, It has a scary soundtrack. But scariest of all, it has two shots in there that are just the single most terrifying things ever. One is around halfway through and the other is towards the end. If you've seen it I think you know. It's scarring.
Richard Backus CRUSHED this role. It is insane how good and terrifying he is in this. It's the turtlenecks, man.
