Vanishing Point, Young Frankenstein, The Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, Network, Animal House, American Graffiti, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Star Wars, The Last Waltz, A Clockwork Orange, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Exorcist, Alien, Jaws, Chinatown, The Godfather to name a few from that Decade.

@@vinylrichie007lol. You were right on with your list man. One flew over the cuckoos nest has great characters, and at times is hilarious. “Mrs Ratchet I want my cigarettes! Now!”

So many great selections, Holy Grail and Life of Brian made my list too. Annie Hall made my list as well and Manhattan is great too. I probably have at least 10 of your movies list, but I lost count.

Man that Bad News Bears film is among my faves of all time! I was in like 6th grade when I seen it and I was blown away by all the kids cussing and using all kinds of slurs that would never fly today! Also dig the American Graffiti Man such a cool film! Cant go wrong with anything Clint Eastwood was in during the 70’s! Here are some of my fave 70’s films: -The Warriors-I’ve watched it so many times -Billy Jack movies -Rollerball -Bless the Beasts & the Children-a movie about misfit kids at a camp that try to save Buffalo from being slaughtered -Meatballs-another camp film -Death Wish-Bronson was awesome! -Planet of the Apes franchise -Logan’s Run -Soilent Green-Charlton Heston SciFi -Longest Yard-my fave Burt Reynolds film -Hooper-another great Reynolds film with Jan Michael Vincent -Gone in 60 Seconds-the original -CC & Company-Joe Namath biker exploito film Just of the movies I was into from the 70’s Yeah I was a weird kid LoL

Great list! I'm glad you decided to join in. A Clockwork Orange is a film I've only seen once. Very disturbing film. I also lined up around the block in the cold weather to see The Exorcist during its initial run. I found the book to be more terrifying than the movie, although it did have its moments. The only movie that made me turn all the lights on after I got home is The Tenant (1976). I also remember seeing Andy Warhol's Frankenstein in 3D and then later on, his Dracula. Both freaky experiences. Joe Dallesandro was as American working class as it gets. But in the 70s and 80s he was living in Europe and made several films there, including Louis Malle's Black Moon. I am so glad Woody Allen decided to start filming in Black & White. He was one of the few directors to continue doing that even after the 1970s. Glad you included American Graffiti, Young Frankenstein and Chinatown!

I meant to mention reading The Exorcist. That is the only time a book frightened me. I remember having to put it down a few times. I like the idea of this thread. I may attempt something similar with music.

Taxi driver…. Instant thumbs up lol that movie is a masterpiece.

You could argue that Taxi Driver and Clockwork were such powerful films that they actually fueled the punk rock movement to a degree

I wanna call you Coach! Strangely, I’ve never seen any of the Andy Warhol movies. You’re a Python fan! “Squeal like a pig!!” So funny how terrifying a movie of its time can be but now it feels so tame. People say the same about the original Universal Monsters movies.

Yes! I was so worried you weren’t going to mention Chinatown. I totally agree with you about Magnum Force being the best of the Dirty Harry series.

Are you familiar with the movie " Midnight Express" (1977) ? It tells the story of an american ending up in a turkish prison after smuggling a minor amount of drugs and is sentence to over 30 years...based on a true story. Highly recommended.

It's a good list - I have seen all of them except for Blood of Dracula. But I feel like I need to go back and re-watch; I must have dozed off somewhere. Reason I think that is I don't remember you mentioning Apocalypse Now!. That can't be right, can it? Not even in the top 20? I will say I liked the original better than Redux - maybe Redux spoiled it for you. Cloris Leachman may have been the best character in Young Frankenstein - remember how you would always hear the horses neighing in the background whenever her name was mentioned? Frau Blücher, I think. OK - remember to Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!
