Wish this show would've lasted longer!
The sci-fi craze after Star Wars in 1977 was amazing producing a James Bond film, Battlestar Galactica and the revival of Buck Rogers among countless other crap. This was a great 1970s sci-fi show with good mix of action, comedy and drama and some great guest stars including Jack Palance and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Well worth checking out.

Somebody stop the planet! I want to get off!!
Disaster movie starring Aaron Eckhart and Hilary Swank as part of a crew who are assembled to travel deep (deep) underground, down to the Earths core, when it stops spinning leading to world wide natural disasters.
In other words, forget the ridiculous premise and go for the effects - some of which are like something from the 1970s! - instead.

Great concept but not really horror
There's a great concept behind this film that looks more like a documentary than anything else. Set in the 1970s, during the paranoia of the Cold War, scientists attempt to find those with telekinesis abilities like that of the Soviet Union. Except they get more than what they bargained for. While it's not frightening as such, it's an interesting film and seems pretty realistic.

Social history
A snapshot of changing social attitudes and relationships in Britain during the 1970s
A continuation of the earlier series The Likely Lads sees the changes in outlooks on life during the early 1970s and the world that is changing around them. Terry returns from the Army with a lack of a world view and a divorced whilst Bob is engaged and has entered the property ladder with lesuire activities and tastes to match. The two friends are both searching for answers about how they fit into a world that is moving to fast, does Bob want the life he is working towards? Is a Terry happy to be stuck in his ways and be skeptical of any change? The episodes are well written and show the way in which young people at the time were struggling to move away from the way there parents lived their lives and the changes that were a result of a more permissive society. The problems of the 1970s are still in essence the same worries that we still see today and the dynamics between the 2 main characters are played so well due to the clever writing and the continuing storyline that runs through the 2 seasons.
A great slice of British life from the period that has aged well due to the human elements of the relationships and the lack of understanding of the path that life is taking you on.
