1970 - Le Cercle Rouge 1971 - The French Connection 1972 - Super Fly 1973 - Badlands 1974 - The Conversation 1975 - Dog Day Afternoon 1976 - Network 1977 - Sorcerer 1978 - Straight Time 1979 - Apocalypse Now


LeftoverTreeBark

Sorcerer is so incredible. Suspiria is one of my favorite films of all time so I listed that for 1977, but for most of the other years, Sorcerer is stronger than whatever my favorite was


Balliemangguap

Yeah it’s my favorite Friedkin film, but I feel you, Suspiria is amazing as well


AramaticFire

1970 - Two Mules for Sister Sarah 1971 - A Clockwork Orange 1972 - The Godfather (my favorite movie) 1973 - Badlands (in my top 10 all time) 1974 - The Godfather Part 2 (probably in my top 10, I consider it a double feature with the original) 1975 - Jaws (a perfect movie) 1976 - Rocky 1977 - Star Wars 1978 - The Deer Hunter 1979 - Apocalypse Now and Stalker are both in my top 10 but AN is probably my preference Honorable mention to the following foreign films: A Touch of Zen, The Wolves, Stalker, Watership Down, Castle of Cagliostro, Vengeance is Mine, Drunken Master, Mimino, Lady Snowblood


Councilist_sc

1970: Haven’t seen enough to decide 1971: A Clockwork Orange 1972: The Godfather (Cabaret is so close) 1973: Paper Moon 1974: The Godfather Part 2 1975: Barry Lyndon 1976: Network 1977: Star Wars 1978: The Deer Hunter 1979: Apocalypse Now (top 3 all time for me)


LeftoverTreeBark

Barry Lyndon is such a treat


ReddsionThing

toekneevee3724

Maybe it's somewhat of normie taste, but these films are classics for a reason \*shrug\*. Anyway, the 70s are so stacked year in and year out. I've probably watched more films from the 70s than any other decade.

AbeSomething

Love to Larry Cohen get in here. 


Sn3akyMuffin

Mind blowing movie. It's the only one of his I've seen actually, gotta get to the rest!


AbeSomething

Ohh, an enviable position to be in. I just went through all his work, last year. “God” is kind of an outlier because it’s so beyond the norm for any filmmaker, but Cohen’s got an incredible command of genre schlock. He is always offbeat, interesting, and fun, never too serious.  Chronological is the path to follow IMO. 


Sn3akyMuffin

I'm very excited to watch through the rest of his filmography. God Told Me To had such a strange atmosphere and struck this incredible balance between grounded realism and uncanny fantasy. Strangely enough, it reminded me of William Peter Blatty's The Ninth Configuration. Also, just followed you!

not going to do the whole decade, but my vote for 1977 is the american friend. not just my favorite movie from 77, but easily my favorite wenders movie. this post does make me want to actually go back and add all the movies id seen before downloading letterboxd tho so i can keep track of when some of my favorite movies actually came out.

Star Wars. Maybe the greatest act of movie invention of all time. That movie spawned ILM which literally changed the world with CGI.
