1970s in Film

Prior to the Eighties, my knowledge and experience of film becomes less and less adequate to do any sort of justice to an annual “Best of” list. Even tackling the decade is a questionable undertaking, but here we go anyway. There are many, many movies of note in the Seventies that I have not gotten around to and that will therefore not make an appearance on this list for now. Among others: Apocalypse Now, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Slaughterhouse Five, Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, and Dog Day Afternoon. Then again, they may not have placed anyway.
