Top Ten Movies of the 1970s

The decade that started two movie giants: Star Wars and The Godfather.
The Top Ten
The Godfather

One of the most critically acclaimed films of all time, The Godfather is often known to many as the best crime film of all time. The Godfather certainly packs a punch.

Easily number one because it's the best of all time. When I'm an adult, I should watch the three best movies of all time: The Godfather, Citizen Kane, and Pulp Fiction, and criticize them.

A superb movie about the underworld conflicts and their influence on average people.

Star Wars

At the time of its release, Star Wars was the highest-grossing film of all time, by quite a large margin. Star Wars changed films forever and remains to this day a very influential film.

Star Wars IV: A New Hope started the Star Wars mania all over the world. Since then, every Star Wars movie has been eagerly anticipated as a cinematic sensation.

How dare they say The Godfather is better than Star Wars? It just isn't.

The Godfather Part II

Star Wars is over this crime epic? What the hell? I don't even like Star Wars. Star Wars is so overrated.

Two icons in one movie. How could this movie not be legendary with two of the greatest legends, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro?

Taxi Driver
Jaws

Good movie, even though I haven't been in the water since I saw this movie.

Spielberg's suspense-filled shark blockbuster.

Apocalypse Now
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Jack Nicholson delivered a brilliant performance as a "normal" man in a mental institution in this great 1975 Academy Award-winning picture.

Alien

This film marks the beginning of the Alien saga, with Sigourney Weaver as the central figure battling one of the most terrifying monsters in cinematic history.

A Clockwork Orange

This movie is incomparable. Nothing beats it.

Incredible movie. Totally changed my life!

Monty Python and The Holy Grail

The Newcomers

? Heaven Can Wait
? Five Easy Pieces
The Contenders
The Exorcist

The greatest horror movie of all time!

Rocky

The film that arguably got Sylvester Stallone where he is today. The Rocky series has had five sequels, each featuring a foe that Rocky Balboa has to fight in the end.

Grease

John Travolta was so cute in this movie. I wish I could travel back in time to the 1970s and marry him.

I fell deeply in love with Kenickie when I watched it. I love Grease! Best teen musical!

Chinatown
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory
Halloween

This was one of the first low budget movies to make a ton of money and influence the horror genre for decades to come. It's still super popular 40 plus years later because it was an original concept.

Superman

The first movie about the Man of Steel on the big screen is a memorable one, with Christopher Reeve as the man from Krypton.

To me, these are the Superman movies. I hate the new ones!

Dirty Harry
Enter the Dragon

This is considered the best kung fu movie of all time and stars the legendary Bruce Lee. This movie made many cultural impacts in America and changed the way Asians were presented in American movies.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Deer Hunter
Annie Hall
Eraserhead
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
