5 Off My Head - Siri Says 1975

.

Two weeks ago I asked my telephone to pick a number between 1 and 100, and the little devil inside of it said 77, and so I did a post named My Five Favorite Movies of 1977. And I had fun doing that! And so here we are again - this will probably end up being a recurring thing, methinks; there are a lot of numbers between 1 and 100 after all.

That said Siri kinda gave me a bunk pick this time around - not that there's anything wrong with the movies of 1975 but it's so close to what we did before! I was hoping this series would flit us all over the last century of cinema but instead we're encamped in the mid-70s. Oh well, so goes randomness. And like I said, there's nothing wrong with the movies of 1975. So here are My Five Favorite!
