A Clockwork Orange
The Godfather
Star Wars
The Deer Hunter
Apocalypse Now

(Really hard not to narrow it down and not include Dog Day Afternoon, Network , and Taxi Driver)

Walts Ghost · 03-09-2013, 04:39 PM

It's near impossible to narrow it down. Just look how many great films were nominated...These are all the ones I love, own, and watch frequently:

Patton
MASH
The French Connection
The Godfather
The Sting
American Graffiti
The Exorcist
The Godfather Part II
The Exorcist
Chinatown
The Conversation
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Jaws
Rocky
All the President's Men
Taxi Driver
Star Wars
Kramer vs Kramer

I can't choose between them, they're all excellent!

arcadeforest · 04-04-2013, 03:17 AM

For me its either Barry Lyndon or The Exorcist

seabterry · 04-12-2013, 01:35 PM

Jaws
The Godfather
Apocalypse Now
Anne Hall
Star Wars

jrsl76 · 04-13-2013, 11:38 AM

Ok, with the bounty of great films of the 70s, I whittled it down as much as I could - to 6, leaving off many I'd have liked to include.

A Clockwork Orange
The Godfather
Chinatown
Taxi Driver
Star Wars
Apocalypse Now

JavaJulien · 04-13-2013, 02:38 PM

That was harder than I thought. I went with:

The Godfather
The Godfather Part 2
Taxi Driver
Star Wars
Network

Some Honorable mentions:

A Clockwork Orange
All That Jazz
Apocalypse Now
Jaws
Rocky
The String

This list makes me realize I still need to see Annie Hall, American Graffiti, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
