Watching Marathon Man right now and thought about how the 70's was just an insane era of films. Midnight Express, the Godfathers, The Long Goodbye, French Connection, Jaws, Deer Hunter, Dog Day, and a million more I can't possibly list. If you had to consolidate it down to 10--be it subjectively or objectively--what would be your 10?
Good thread. These came naturally off the top of my head as my favourite - I'm sure people will list another half dozen that might make me re-think my list.
1) Godfather II
2) Godfather I
3) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
4) Alien
5) The Exorcist
6) Taxi Driver
7) Star Wars
8) Rocky
9) Apocalypse Now
10) Jaws
Rocky...M*A*S*H…Patton…The Ballad of Cable Hogue…Godfather…Jaws…Godfather: Part II,… Star Wars...Apocalypse Now...American Graffiti...Dog Day Afternoon…
The Endless Summer did not make the list because it was 1966...
Might have to make it Top 50 or 100 after seeing your list.Mean Streets, Clockwork Orange, Chinatown, etc
The Sting, Blazing Saddles as well.
Life of Brian, Holy Grail, Eraserhead, Escape From Alcatraz...yes, scanning my DVD collection right now

@ me forgetting Clockwork...something is coming of my list TBH.
Golden age of comedies when nothing was sacred...
To add to the Monty Python mentions and Blazing Saddles, there's Annie Hall, Young Frankenstein, Animal House
