Re: Top-ten lists of the 1970s Imho, I think you should leave the retro annual top ten lists to Algren. First, it's something positive and productive he is contributing to KJ, rather than his more common lame trolling for attention. Second, he initiated the idea. He also was * spacing it out a bit as an ongoing activity, rather than squeezing a whole decade into a thread. Much more discussion gets generated in a single year thread. Jamming a the whole 70's into one thread like this to snipe the topic away from Algren is both rather rude and unproductive. Third, you've created your share of great threads - - I especially like all your music list threads in recent months. Don't be afraid to share the wealth. ( * I see now that he is rushing to create them all at once after you slipped your 1981 list into his 1980 thread. This is why KJ can't have nice things.  )

Re: Top-ten lists of the 1970s As someone who lived through the 70s, I actually saw a lot of these in the theater...

Start the Revolution Without Me
1971

The Godfather
Cabaret
Slaughterhouse 5
What's Up Doc
Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex
Sleuth
1776
1973
The Sting
Sleeper
American Graffiti
Live and Let Die
1974
Godfather II
Young Frankenstein
Chinatown
Blazing Saddles

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Love and Death
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Network

As for the claim individual threads for each year results in more conversation, perhaps. If so, my bad. _________________1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3. Phantom Thread - 4.

Re: Top-ten lists of the 1970s A few too many empty positions to compile a Top 10 for each year (at least that I'm willing to include).
1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
2. The Exorcist
3. A Clockwork Orange
4. Jaws
5. Robin Hood
6. Hausu
7. Grease
8. Halloween
9. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
10. Young Frankenstein
Others favorites: Pippi in the South Seas, The Black Stallion, Pete's Dragon, Cabaret, Treasure Island, Alien, Star Wars, Carrie, Willy Wonka, Kramer vs. Kramer, The Vampire Lovers, Dracula, Smokey and the Bandit, The Rescuers, Rocky, Jabberwocky, Jesus Christ Superstar.
And I feel like I have an obvious omission...

Re: Top-ten lists of the 1970s If you haven't, Corpse, you should see Picnic at Hanging Rock and Harold and Maude. I believe you would highly enjoy both.

Re: Top-ten lists of the 1970s The poster for 'Harold and Maude' looks strikingly familiar. I wonder if I've actually seen part of it once several years ago. I'm definitely going to check it out.
