He also indirectly produced - Nicholas Cage -
this kinda nullifies all his accomplishments tbh.
I keed-I keed!
Its mindblowing; Dude also wrote Patton and produced American Graffiti..

Always wanted to see the Man Who Would Be King...Barry Lyndon was too plodding for me
It's fine as a "cult" movie, but stands nowhere near a top 10 list of movies from the 70s. It would be joke to have The Warriors next to The Godfather or Apocalypse Now imo.
I didn't think it was chilling as Big Puppet killing Little Puppet in American Me.
The Conversation
Funny how the emphasis put on one word can completely change the meaning of a sentence.
It's impossible. Need more than top 10, top 100 is more like it for this decade:
Kelly's Heroes
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Network
Little Big Man
The Harder They Come
Winter Kills
Bad Company
Five Easy Pieces
The Exorcist
Hearts and Minds
Paper Moon
Tombs of the Blind Dead
The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds
Winter Soldier
Blue Collar
The French Connection
Straw Dogs
The Wicker Man
Charley Varrick
The Taking of Pelham 123
Don't Look Now
Young Frankenstein
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Black Christmas
Carrie
Totally forgot about The Conversation. That's a great ing movie.
No Kramer vs. Kramer?
Don't even know where to begin with all the posts I want to comment on! But it truly is an impossible list. As far as directors go, for me the 70's are all about Robert Altman:
MASH
McCabe and Mrs Miller
Images
The Long Goodbye
Thieves Like Us
Nashville
3 Women
A Wedding

In no order off the top of my head:
1. Clockwork Orange
2. French Connection
3. American Graffiti
4. Godfather
5. The Last Picture Show
6. Taxi Driver
7. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
8. Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask) - could subs ute Sleeper or Love and Death
9. Eraserhead
10. Every other film I like that I couldn't squeeze in 1-9.
Ugh, tbh. Same with Ordinary People (1980)
A really great 70s movie that for whatever reason got totally forgotten is Straight Time with Dustin Hoffman..probably the only movie I would put in a 70s top ten or whatever that hasnt been mentioned..found out about it here:
http://siskelandebert.org/video/Y8O2...ooked-Classics
its got a good RT score too some of the reviews list as negative if you read them they're actually positive:

dont wanna reveal too much but Hoffman plays a career criminal who gets out of prison and tries to go straight..
Born to Win, The Panic in Needle Park, as well as And Justice For All were pretty solid too...not top 10, but solid nonetheless.
and the capitol of Nebraska is Lincoln!!!!
The Outlaw Josey Wales would be on my list.
