>It's pretty weird watching that movie, 30 years after watching it the first time. Things were very different in 1976... and it's "Wow, how did that guy know this stuff was going to happen!?".

I didn't see it for the first time till 1997 -- i wasn't even born in 1976! But I have it on DVD and have watched it a few times since. It's such a great movie.
