Recommend Me Some Movies From the 1970s

I actually started my 60s list already and have 7 definites for it, as opposed to the 3 definites I have for the 70s.

If you include shorts for the 1920s then it's not so bad. Buster Keaton could have a list of his own.

I would think that you'd have to include shorts if you go back that far.

That said, I certainly hope shorts aren't excluded for the more recent decades. One of my definites for the 60s is a short.

And there's a lot of German Expressionism and French Impressionism as well, it gets a little tougher to find a lot of those though.

Havnt heard 10 Rillington Place mentioned, its worth checking out.

Considering that you like Hedwig, I think you'll be ok with Cabaret. The songs are (almost) all on stage, in a context where it makes sense that people would be singing (but with a connection to the drama taking place outside if the stage). It's not a musical where people sing about the fact that they're walking down a flight of stairs.

I saw Cabaret last night and I'll happily add it to my list of recommendations.

A few I don't think have been mentioned:

Ali: Fear Eats the Soul
Fox and His Friends
The American Friend
Dawn of the Dead
Quadrophenia
Performance

I saw Solaris mentioned, but I did not see Stalker. If you like Solaris then give it a go, if not, skip it. Mad Max is a personal favorite. I'll dig up some more that haven't been listed and post later.

How dare you!

Sorry! Must have glossed over that one

I believe these haven't been mentioned:

Joe
Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion
Macbeth
Deliverance
The Day of the Jackal
The Emigrants
The New Land
French Connection II
The Wanderers
Allegro non troppo
Lies My Father Told Me
The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz
Murder on the Orient Express
Serpico
Family Plot
The Paper Chase
Sorcerer
Tess
Sleuth
The Marriage of Maria Braun
World on a Wire
My Name is Nobody
Posse
The Outlaw Josey Wales
The Three Musketeers
The Four Musketeers
Patton
Next Stop, Greenwich Village
Richard Pryor Live in Concert
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Give 'Em Hell, Harry!
more later

Let's not forget a very underrated James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me.

Underrated? I think it's generally considered to be the best of the Roger Moore Bond flicks. If not the best, one of the top few.
