Top 100 Movies of the 1970s - October 6th is deadline

[baumer]

And again obviously this is because I'm ancient compared to most of the members here oh, except for tele of course LOL, but I'm very very excited and I'm glad that the 1970s is being tackled.

[baumer]

Something I am curious about is that I'm wondering if people will put classic movies on their list, like the godfather's or The Exorcist, even though they might not have seen them. I really hope that is not the case. I hope these lists are honest and if you have not seen a movie don't put it on your list.

Just a reminder that Hayao MIyazaki made a feature in the 1970s, if you want to vote for it.

I don't think someone who hasn't seen The Godfather or The Exorcist would want to vote in a list like this.

 

Though I have heard of a certain someone who lied about seeing an old movie once.

Hmmm who would that be? The emoji you are using kind of suggests that you're referring to me? If you are I don't recall that particular conversation or what movie I would have lied about. Or is it someone else you were speaking of?

Lists should be at least 10 movies long, but not more than 100.

It's your list and all but I don't know why you'd wanna reward people who can only come up with a 10-movie list for the whole damn decade. That doesn't even qualify as surface-level knowledge.

We're not all cinephiles who've seen every movie from every year. 

 

You could quite easily have watched 50+ films from 1970s and only come up with a 10 movie list.

Nope not you. Someone else in this thread though.

 

It's not even that important, your comment just reminded me of something I saw a few years ago.

Not me either.

[baumer]

@Jake GittesGittes given the age of most of the members here, it doesn't surprise me that most people have not seen many movies from the 1970s.

[Avatree]

Star Wars gonna win this easy.

It ain’t that serious. We’re not doing a sight and sound list here.

[terrestrial]

Okay, that's my list I'll have to pick from my top 100.

I've seen far more, as that was my teenage decade

 

It includes movies that I wont consider really good, but includes something special enough I will think about them for this ranking or I still think about them if a reason appears / happens.

Also added a few titles then considered as a 'must see', I think I added a hint with all of them (friends), a few of those I did not finish.

The other hints are for e.g. myself, sometimes the title is so far away from the German version or the movie's story I need a little help to remember which title belongs to which movie.

 

I alphabetic order to not influence someone unconsciously

 

= its meant as a help to remember, as often people might have watched them on TV and simply for the moment not remember = saves maybe time
