Correction: I forgot that Al Pacino was actually nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Godfather and it was a tougher category than the Lead Actor category was that year, even though Brando was in that category.

I was born in ‘65 so the 70’s were huge for me. I was 12 when I saw Star Wars in the theater in ‘77. I was just blown away, by far the most memorable theater experience in my life and really cemented my love of movies into my life. I know I’m biased because the 70’s were my childhood but I still say we had the best movies, music and cars. Such a great decade before internet etc. Some other movies from the 70’s that had a lasting impression on me were The Sting, Young Frankenstein, Rocky, Smokey and the Bandit, Heaven Can Wait, Superman, Time After Time, Willy Wonka and so many others.

Man, I wish I could have seen Star Wars in ‘77 , some people aren’t even aware that it wasn’t called episodic IV A Nee Hope until a few years later and it changed the world. This was also the greatest decade for music, like you mentioned. Musicians had more time to create and they were way more technical back then.

Thank you. Yes, I love ‘70 disaster movies and the original Poseidon Adventure and Gene Hackman was great in it. If you like Holy Grail you may like Life of Brian and it was released in the Criterion Collection on DVD at one time.

Paper Moon Deliverence High Plains Drifter Dirty Harry Breaking Away Smokey and the Bandit Duel The Wicker Man The Outlaw Josey Wales Every Which Way but Loose The Deer Hunter Kramer vs Kramer Play Misty for Me Carrie Little Big Man The Beguiled (Eastwood really ruled the 70s) Bad News Bears Saturday Night Fever Pat Garret & Billy the Kid Patton McCabe and Mrs Miller MASH Being There Mararhon Man Papillon Straw Dogs (the 70s were great for Dustin Hoffman too) Being There and at least theee Pink Panther movies could make my list too. #1 for me would probably be Jaws even over Star Wars Edit...Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry Mad Max, though the movie wasn't released in America until 1980

@excelsiormoviereviews 5 ай бұрын

Yes, there were a ton of great movies in the ‘70s. Carrie was on my list for a copy of weeks and I thought about Mash several times. I own Being There and I believe it was Sellers last movie, the ending shot is quite memorable. It’s funny, Steve Herold mentioned Bad New Bears too and I mentioned that Jackie Earle Haley was in Breaking Away, filmed in Bloomington Indiana and I’m glad that you mentioned it as well. I own the Criterion for Straw Dogs, it got dark in the third act and it’s an experience and something different from Dustin Hoffman and Sam Peckinpah.

I like Saturday Night Fever, but I haven’t seen it since its 20th anniversary in 1997. Yes, I do love the soundtrack, but the disco era isn’t easy me to get into now as far the movies. I wasn’t going with the most popular movies from the ‘70s, just the ones that I watch over and over. John Travolta was extremely popular from 1976-1981 though and I really like Blow Out and later in Pulp Fiction.
