Cant believe no one mentioned Academy award winners:

The Godfather

Apocolypse now.

One flew over the cuckoos nest. And star wars. Those are the best movies of the 70s. Saturday night fever was a big seller as well.

I dont know if Blade runner came out in the 70s or not. I think its 81 or so...

Er... they did. I myself wrote a brief paragraph on The Godfather in my post further up the page. I didn't mention Apocalypse Now because someone else had already done so...

Serpico, The Warriors, The French Connection, Taxi Driver, Coming Home, Soldier Blue and Midnight Cowboy (Ok, so it's 1969 ) are just a few that spring to mind.

When you read the reviews and analysis, it would seem that a lot of US filmmaking in the early 70s was driven or influenced by a post-Vietman imperative to re-examine basic and previously ignored aspects of American society. A lot of these films display a gritty reality and stark focus on the underbelly of America and clinically dissect it's self-image. Iconaclastic and shocking when released, time has diminished some of their impact, but nevertheless, they serve as a rude awakening from the pre-Vietman American dream.
