Tonight I just watched Independent Film Channel's " A Decade Under the Influence " -- a documentary exploring American cinema of the 1970's.

It was pretty interesting, and you'll hear from Coppola and Scorsese plenty, among many other classic directors. Any student of film should catch these 3 one-hour segments on DVD. (It won't blow you away, but, I've certainly learned a few things, as you may as well....)
