Triple Feature Friday: Pinocchio, Omega Man, Evel Knievel

Chuck Heston week was really last week.  However, last Friday was April Fool's Day so I felt I had to post the April Fool's Day ad.  So, better late than never, here's an awesome triple feature ad featuring another Heston classic, Omega Man. Omega Man was an adaptation of Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend.

Also on this advertisement you'll see an ad for Disney's Pinocchio which turned 31 in 1971.  On the bottom you'll see the movie Evel Knievel starring George Hamilton as the titular daredevil.  Evel Knievel was a biographical movie about the daredevil filmed primarily in his hometown of Butte, Montana.  It should not be confused with the unbelievably awesome Viva Knievel! movie from 1977 that starred the real life Evel Knievel.

Here's the Omega Man trailer:

THX-1138 - June 4, 1971

The Library of Congress National Film Registry announced their 2010 inductees into the film archives.  This week we'll look at ads for 5 of the inductees.

Here's an ad for George Lucas' first movie, THX-1138. However, it's not this particular movie that the Library of Congress is archiving. They are actually archiving the original student film that this movie was based on; Electronic Labyrinth: THX-1138 4EB.  It was the student film that won Lucas the United States National Student Film Festival in 1968.

Other 2010 Inductees:
1. The Empire Strikes Back.
2. Airplane!
3. Saturday Night Fever
4. All the President's Men
5. Malcolm X
