‘Carrie’ (1976)
Withdrawn teenager Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) is not only the target of constant torment at her high school, but at home she also faces the abuse of her religiously fanatical mother, Margaret (Piper Laurie). But when strange phenomena begin to happen around Carrie whenever she’s upset, she suspects that she might have supernatural powers. At the same time, Carrie’s bullies are planning to humiliate her at the upcoming prom, and she’s invited to attend by a classmate’s sympathetic boyfriend, Tommy (William Katt). Though Carrie reluctantly agrees to go, she has no idea that prom night is about to end in a bloodbath.
Brian De Palma‘s adaptation of this classic Stephen King novel remains one of the most iconic horror movies of all time and has been highly influential on film and popular culture. In addition to being a genuinely chilling story, it is also an affecting portrait of female coming-of-age. Ultimately, the film succeeds as an intense psychological horror that blends genres and is directed with a lyrical filmmaking style typical of De Palma.
‘The Diary of a Teenage Girl’ (2015)
Precocious San Francisco teenager and aspiring cartoonist Minnie Goetze (Bel Powley) has a sexual awakening and becomes desperate to lose her virginity. When her mother, Charlotte (Kristen Wiig), is too busy to go out with her boyfriend Monroe (Alexander Skarsgård), Charlotte suggests he take out Minnie instead, and innocent flirtations at a bar turn into Minnie and her mother’s boyfriend regularly having sex. Her relationship with Monroe leads her to other sexual encounters as she searches for her identity as a burgeoning woman and sexual being in the 1970s.
The Diary of a Teenage Girl is an adaptation of the graphic novel of the same name by Phoebe Gluckner, and it weaves creative elements of that source material in the form of fun animated sequences. The film is a frank and sometimes uncomfortable look at teenage female sexuality that deftly tackles morally gray themes and plot threads. Powley commands the film in a fantastic performance alongside Skarsgård and Wiig, and the movie comes together brilliantly in its acting, direction, screenplay and overall refreshingly unconventional execution.
‘The Errand Boy’ (1961)
In 1960s Hollywood, the executives at Paramutual Pictures decide that they need to figure out where all their money is being spent internally, and so they immediately hire a hapless man named Morty S. Tashman (Jerry Lewis) to be their errand boy and spy. With little know-how, common sense or social skills, Morty bumbles his way through his new job at the movie studio, getting into a series of misadventures. Comic situations include Morty playacting himself as head of the board of directors via an extended musical sequence, and Morty befriending puppets that seem to have sentience.
10 Best Horror Movies of the 1970s, Ranked
The Errand Boy is a classic comedy picture directed by and starring the famous funnyman himself, Lewis, and it’s full of not just timeless gags, but genuinely ingenious and creative filmmaking. But, of course, there’s gags…and gags upon gags upon gags, and if you love dumb humor, slapstick, goofy schtick and constant mugging from Lewis, then you’ll have a blast. Plus, if you enjoy the comedy stylings of Adam Sandler, then Lewis’ films are a necessary text to study.
