Top 50 Films of the 1970s
posted by rudely_murraySTAFFMOD on July 18, 2017 at 8:38 PM
I am currently compiling top 100 lists for each decade from the 1930s onwards - sadly, as of yet, I have not seen enough pre-1930s films to go back any further than this. I won't post the entire 100s on here but here is my top 50 for the '70s. As always, the order would likely shuffle a bit were I to try again later.
Please feel free to comment or share your own favourites, or recommendations of films I may not have seen.
