100 or 107 Best Movies of the 1970s Survey

[SelwynMcGinty]

Other decade threads are still live, but why wait any longer for many cinephiles' favorite decades to revisit and discuss - - the mighty 1970s.

Once again, it seems prudent to implement a weighted system - this time, participants are asked to list their
Top 25 of theatrical releases between January 1, 1970 and December 31, 1979.

The counting will be as follows:
25 points for the #1 choice, 24 points for the #2 spot, 23 for #3, etc. down the line.

If indicated that there's no particular order, each selection will be awarded 7 points.

If you'd like to list some Honorable Mentions past 25 selections, please do so -
each title past the 25th will be awarded 1 point.
Please, just try not to list 70,000 films!

Don't imagine this will be tallied any time soon, so there's plenty of chances to change titles and lists.

Of course, any comments, thoughts, suggestions, questions or any discourse regarding Cinema of the great 1970s or anything else are encouraged and appreciated.

As always... thank you to everyone and cheers!
