4 years ago
In No Particular order. I give you some of my favorite 1970's movies. That is from 1970 to 1979.
1. Grease – A musical with Oliva Newton John and John Travolta. I just loved it.
2. Smokey and the Bandit – Burt Reynolds is the Bandit a man that diverts the law away from a trucker who is taking goods across state lines.
3. Jaws – A shark terrorizes a small town that relies on money from the Tourist industry.
4. Cat from Outer Space – I absolutely loved this movie. A talking cat! Come on! That is awesome!
5. Blazing Saddles – Iconic movie from comedic genius Mel Brooks. Fart Jokes and all.
6. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – A boy wins a tour of a factory.
7. Watership Down – An Animated movie about rabbits who set out to start a new warren of their own.
8. Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger – OMG… I loved these stop animation films. A prince is turned into a baboon and Sinbad goes on a quest to change him back and they are followed by an evil witch.
9. Star Wars – Original. I saw it in theaters.
10. The Deep – Treasure hunting divers discover a WWII shipwreck and it’s mysterious cargo and run into criminals that want to keep it for themselves.
11. Duel – A man is chased by a Trucker. (Steven Spielberg’s film school film)
12. Time After Time – HG Wells and Jack the ripper in Modern day (for the time), San Francisco.
13. Robin Hood – Animated Disney adaptation of the thief that robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. In Anthropomorphic form.
14. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes – A B-Movie Classic. Stupidly funny.
15. Close Encounters of the Third Kind – You look like a 50/50 bar!
16. Rocky Horror Picture Show – I didn’t get to see it until I was older, but It’s so bad it’s good and I enjoy movies like this.
17. Cabaret – Music and Dancing.
18. Monty Python and the Holy Grail – Run Away!
19. Moonraker – James Bond Movie.
20. The Towering Inferno – I watched disaster movies a lot when I lived in California. Probably because I lived where we had earthquakes.

And I'm glad that you listed this as 'some' of your favorite movies. The 70's had so many amazing movies, across all genres, that trying to limit a selection to a mere 20 is impossible. *laughs*
I also enjoyed a lot of older movies from sooner like the Hitchcock movies as well.
#2- One of many classic Sam Peckinpah chase movies.
#3- Peter Benchley made us wary of going back into the water.
#4- Didn't see it. *sigh*
#5- Cowboy: How 'bout some more beans, Mr. Taggart?
Mr. Taggart: I'd say you've had ENOUGH!
... And Mel was right about beans and black coffee!
#6- And this is where reference for "blueberrification" came from!
#7- A movie about cute little rabbits in scary situations.
#8- Classic action-adventure, but it used to scare me in the end about the eyes.
#9- Always let the Wookie win in the games you play... they are very bad sports.
#10- Never saw it, but it's true about modern-day pirates.
#11- Dennis Weaver (from McCloud) learned first-hand about another's road rage.
#12- H.G. Wells goes from science-fiction writer/inventor to being a detective/action-hero!
#13- It was funny as hell watching Robin and Little John strip the Royal Coach completely!
#14- So bad it was made into a Saturday Morning Cartoon on Fox!
#15- Why the Devil's Tower was on Richard Dreyfuss' mind...
#16- "He's happy, she's happy, I'm happy, WE'RE ALL HAPPY!"
#17- Liza Minnelli at her best
#18- Never got to see the full movie, but I saw on YT. Can't forget the rabbit and it scared Sir Robin so badly, he pooped his pants TWICE!!
Sir Robin- I done it again...
#18- Can't forget how Jaws (played by Richard Kiel) and the super-strong yet tiny maiden
fell in love with each other. There is something to be said about size-difference...
... and zero-G love-making.
#20- I missed that one. Irwin Allen had a knack of making disaster movies like
The Poseidon Adventure and Earthquake.
