Favourite movie from the 70s, 80s or 90s

What was your favourite movie(s) from the 70s, 80s or early 90s?
the purpose of this is my theory that a good movie will be a good movie after it has stood the test of time, and it isn’t really accurate to judge a modern movie, when we might just be looking at the special effects. I didn't want to go back to much further than the 70s either, but if you want you can, I’m just interested in your favourite movies from this time period.
You can include favourites from different genres too, such as science fiction, and action etc... Anyway go ahead, I’m interested to know.

Personally my favourites were anything by Stanley Kubrik, especially A Clockwork Orange, but there were many others, Obviously Star wars was from this period, as were many other great films.

Usual Suspects (90's), Pulp Fiction (90's), original Star Wars trilogy. Not too much else as I really am too young to have warched many of the older films.

Original Star Wars trilogy (F-- you Lucas!).

I liked all the Karate Kid movies. Star Wars of course was good. I liked the animated Hobbit and LotR. There are a few things in there that even Peter could not achieve. Shawshank, for sure, was good. Indiana Jones were all quite good. Predator had and does have amazing make-up.
