Okay I was inspired by GMKU's 1960's thread...

I think that the 70's is easily the best decade in the history of celluloid... when it was still possible to combine boundary pushing innovation (ie interesting ideas) with mainstream cinema.

Discuss, share etc...

Here are some of my favourites:

Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom
The Third Generation
Nashville
The Passenger
The King of Marvin Gardens
The American Friend
Performance
A Clockwork Orange
Amacord
Two-Lane Blacktop
Mean Streets
Heat
The Warriors
Play Misty For Me
Stroszek
Multiple Maniacs
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Exorcist
Dawn Of The Dead
Interiors
A Woman Under The Influence

Once again if a gun was put to my head I would say that Mean Streets is my absolute favourite...
but it is so, so difficult for me to make a final decision.
