1973 Mean Streets
1974 Chinatown
1975 Dog Day Afternoon
1976 Rocky
1977 Star Wars ep. IV
1978 Watership Down
1979 Alien

... all of which I own on Blu-ray, except Alien (which I have at least watched on Blu-ray) and The Last Picture Show (which is only available in Criterion's BBS set).

Also, although I've written in Star Wars for '77, it pains me that the original theatrical version isn't actually on Blu-ray. *sigh*

Great pick with The Last Picture Show! It's one of my favorites. I wish it would get the digibook treatment!

Love Rocky too. I went back and forth with that one and The Song Remains The Same for 1976. I went with the latter because it's a little bit more of a late-night favorite.
