4 Shots From 4 Films: Special 1972 Edition


4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!

Since we already highlighted Cabaret today, here are a few the classic films that we released the same year.

4 Shots From 4 1972 Films

The Godfather (1972, dir by Francis Ford Coppola, DP: Gordon Willis)

Jesus Christ Superstar (1973, dir by Norman Jewison, DP; Douglas Slocombe)

Deliverance (1972,dir by John Boorman, DP: Vilmos Zsigmond)

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972, dir by J. Lee Thompson, DP: Bruce Surtees)

Night of the Lepus (a.k.a. Watership Dead)


As another Easter draws to a close, consider what would happen if the rabbits of the world turned on us.

That clip is from a 1972 film entitled Night of the Lepus.  I saw it 13 years ago when, during a stormy Saturday afternoon, it showed up on one of the local stations.   Beyond the image of a bunch of bunnies hopping in slow motion (a bit like the zombie Templars from Amando De Ossorio’s Blind Dead films), I don’t really remember much about the actual movie.

Then again, when you’ve got killer bunnies, what else do you have to remember?
