Duel (1971) ****
Steven Spielberg's feature film debut was originally made for television, but was judged to be so good as to deserve a theatrical release. It's a story of a car driver being relentlessly pursued by a mysterious truck.
Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory (1971) ****
A wonderful fantasy film about a little boy who wins a lottery ticket that allows him to visit a wonderful chocolate factory. One of the best children's film. Magnificent visuals.
