Cactus Flower<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frothy Rom-Com featuring Walter Matthau\u2019s straight,\nmiddle-aged man romancing and seeing life anew from Goldie Hawn\u2019s fresh, flower\nchild perspective. She also happens to work in a groovy local record store\n(which is, from our point of view, worth watching for this fact alone)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jTOT1UnY8eY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">2. Easy Rider<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All-time great hippie outsider film that spawned a thousand biker films in its wake\u2026 and probably the most popular wall-art of the decade! With an absolute killer soundtrack, it explores some of the darker aspects of American Sixties society. Featuring two standout performances by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/2850e5_2dde13d0b8b14cd98d3d57691bf25acd~mv2.jpg\/v1\/fill\/w_846,h_505,al_c,q_90\/file.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for easy rider\" width=\"423\" height=\"253\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">3. Bob &amp; Carol &amp; Ted &amp; Alice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic film from 1969, set in amongst California\u2019s professional class turmed swinger circle, featuring Elliott Gould, Robert Culp, Dyan Cannon and Natalie Wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldenglobes.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/portrait_medium\/public\/films\/bob-carol-ted-alice.jpg?itok=wf-E3yNY\" alt=\"Image result for bob and carol and ted and alice\" width=\"297\" height=\"396\"\/><figcaption><br><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">4. Wrecking Crew<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third and probably the weakest of the Matt Helm trilogy,\nstarring Dean Martin\u2019s over-the-top macho spy and adventurer. Quite a lazy\nfilm, luckily saved by Sharon Tate\u2019s sparky character, which features her fight\nscene as curated by then marshal arts coach Bruce Lee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1glV7vTkb0A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">5. Model Shop<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One groovy soundtrack, featuring the band Spirit! Portraying\nthe seedier side of Sixties Los Angeles. Directed by French legend Jacques\nDemy, who also directed the ground-breaking films \u2018Umbrellas of Cherbourg\u2019 and \u2018Lola\u2019.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ppg7w8XfYR4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">6. Hammerhead<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the few British films that have made it onto Tarantino\u2019s list of name-checked movies, and for good reason. A tough and gritty British thriller with an international conspiracy theme, featuring a host of British stalwarts including Judy Geeson, Diana Dors and Peter Vaughan. A hard one to track down and rarely screened, but worth the effort as it is a real gem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/M\/MV5BYWJjNzJjNWUtZmI1MS00ODliLTgwYWQtZWFlMDUxOTI2N2Q5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzc5MjA3OA@@._V1_.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for hammerhead film\" width=\"375\" height=\"560\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">7. Enter The Dragon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce Lee was catapulted from Hollywood TV star\/fight coach to stardom with this marshal arts classic! Need we say more\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51ht4NPSk0L.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for enter the dragon film\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">8. The Valley Of The Dolls<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably Sharon Tate\u2019s best acting performance! The film depicts three women who are all trying to make it in show business. When they finally do, they discover that it is not all that it is cracked up to be, with Tate\u2019s character resorting to making porn in order to make ends meet. An expos\u00e9 on the pitfalls of the Hollywood dream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/5a3191c2315a62125eca683f\/2:3\/w_887,h_1331,c_limit\/t-valley-of-the-dolls-50-anniversary.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for valley of the dolls\" width=\"222\" height=\"333\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">9. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All time classic Spaghetti Western by Sergio Leone, with\nClint Eastwood\u2019s poncho-wearing hero shifting cigars from one side of his mouth\nto the other in every other close-up, all whilst dealing with a host of Mexican\nbandits and wrong-uns out to get him. Featuring the classic Morricone score\n(the essence of which seems to crop up in most of Tarrantino\u2019s films) and epic,\nnerve-crunching shoot-outs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h1PfrmCGFnk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">10. Beyond The Valley of The Dolls<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar in theme but a million miles away in style and\ncontent from the Valley of the Dolls! This is a story of a girl band travelling\nout to California to make it big on the Pop scene, journeying through the highs\nand lows of sixties counterculture. Featuring some amazing clips with The\nStrawberry Alarm Clock and a host of quotable lines, not least \u201cthis is my\nhappening, and it freaks me out!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y10g9umKQcM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honour of the &#8216;Once Upon A Time in Hollywood&#8217; soundtrack to the Tarantino film, which was released last week, and in celebration of our new window display inspired by the film, here we have collected our pick of the Ten films that inspired &#8216;Once Upon A Time In Hollywood&#8217;&#8230; Enjoy! 1.
