I was fortunate enough to grow up during the greatest decade of film. The studios were willing to experiment like never before or since. Corporate was still a dirty wood in Hollywood, and directors were the new stars. Except for disco, the music was better than ever and so were the soundtracks. Cars had not yet lost their sense of style either. Comic books cost less than a quarter. Baseball card packs even less. And if you were smart enough to take care of both of them? Well, lets just say, a week's allowance back then could have made you a future millionaire. But hey, you didn't need to know the future to know that Godfather (One AND Two!), Apocalypse…

Well, lets just say, a week's allowance back then could have made you a future millionaire. But hey, you didn't need to know the future to know that Godfather (One AND Two!), Apocalypse Now, Star Wars, Taxi Driver, Halloween, and Alien were still going to be some of the greatest movies ever made a hundred years from now! For those of us who came of age back then, it's been a sad and discouraging trip ever since. Except for the clothes, the 70s were arguably the best decade ever. But as far as film goes? Sorry, fellow cinephiles. No argument whatsoever will be entertained by those of us who grew up back then. Compiled off the top of my head, so please don't judge the placement. Some at the bottom deserve better. No doubt I'm forgetting so many more that should've made my list. Thanks for looking.
