Sam Peckinpah's Major Dundee (1965), an interesting and strangely impressive failure which had the potential for greatness. A visually brilliant grungy western. Peckinpah's ambitions ran away with him. Superb performance by Charlton Heston.

Earthquake (1974) has everything that I love in a 70s disaster movie. If I wanted to explain the genre to someone I'd say go see Earthquake. Plus it has Chuck Heston. And it still looks cool. With no CGI!
