re: #183 Dr Lizardo

The four films which really changed the way Hollywood makes - and markets - films all came out of the 70s.

Jaws.

Star Wars.

Superman.

Alien.

Those four films altered the Hollywood landscape and ushered in the era of the “event film”; the summer blockbuster, a pattern we still see almost four decades later.

Jaws should have been the cautionary tale to the other listed franchises, that one sequel might work well, two if you stretched it, but anything over that was utter shite.
