The Man From Clover Grove, 1975

Wow, the Dove Foundation certainly loved that movie

synopsis from imdb

A poor farmer is always inventing things. A lot of them don't work, but the toys he makes brings joy to the children at the local orphanage. It is a very good movie.

man that looks bad. Glad they still found a way to work in a dodge charger police chase even though it's about an inventor bringing toys that don't work to an orphanage

trivia

The movie's closing credits dedication read: "This picture is dedicated to the forgotten children in our world".

#saveourforgottenchildren

why is that nun driving a tractor full of screaming women away from a burning building

you want her to drive towards it??

Half a Sixpence, 1967

getting depressing "the B plot from Hello, Dolly" vibes from that

what? it's clearly everything a motion picture can be

THE BIGGEST BLOOMIN' ONION OF THE YEAR!

c'mon, that's clearly an English movie. Mr Steele will not be encountering American food in it.

Here he is in the US that year, though, with a typical American dance partner:

Off The Mark/Crazy Legs, 1987

Love the tag line for What Comes Around.

Almost as good as the tag line for Off the Mark

(referring to the full tag line, including both top and bottom of poster, natch)

Better one for Off the Mark would've been " Off base... and missing the mark."

Mean John Barrows, 1976

From the wiki synopsis:

Meanwhile, a Mafia war starts brewing between the Racconi family and the Da Vincis (the family, not the painter).

White Lightning, 1973

sam's son, 1984

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/zhEAAOSww9xZLzgA/s-l1600.jpg

White Lightning is an okay movie but def not as exciting as that poster would make it seem... I don't really remember any police-car explosions for example. For a while Burt Reynolds is wearing the EXACT same style of blue snap-button cowboy shirt that I thrifted ages ago and wear to all manner of fancy occasions, so that was cool. The main thing the film's lacking is Jerry Reed's fantastic theme song from the sequel.

Revenge Of The Cheerleaders, 1976

Starring Jerri Woods Rainbeaux Smith Helen Lang

"it's a family name"

I have seen this film, and the poster does not mention the minor but pivotal role of David Hasselhoff as star jock "Boner"

seen this film

(on a double feature with the Roger Vadim / Gene Roddenberry / Rock Hudson / Angie Dickinson / Telly Savalas high school jam Pretty Maids All In A Row)

posted a few years ago, but broken now:

ffolkes, 1980

(released as North Sea Hijack overseas with a more intense poster, and on youtube in full under that title)

Moore, Mason, Perkins. Add Michael Caine and this would be the ultimate 70s "international thriller."

Poster makes that look way more amazing than it probably is.

Forgot about that movie.

Poster makes that look way more amazing than it probably is.

Absolutely otm, but it's a dece enough thriller. The linked US poster sets the tone better, at the expense of Moore's anti-Bondian asexuality.
