I havn't really read through the forum or anything, but i just thought i'd say...i was searching for a top ten of 70's movies (doing pop culture in art) and landed on this site...any whoooo..
I could not believe my eyes...that Saturday Night Fever and Grease are not like in the top five..they're not even on there.
They are probably the most sold remembered and loved movies of the 70s and STILL watched and passed on today..
Just thought i'd let you know.. Now if thats no use to you.. no worries

"I don't get it" not from a 70's movie :)

Grease and Sat. Nite Fever were good but I wouldn't expect them in the top five of all movies made in the 70's. they are iconic for the decade but not what you call great cinematic fare.
you are talking about a decade with The Godfather I & II, Apocalypse Now, Dog Day Afternoon, Lady Sings the Blues, Kramer vs Kramer, The Way We Were, Network, hell even Star Wars and many other films that were far more significant and higher brow than Grease and SNF.

offhand my favorite movies from the seventies in no particular order are probably
the passenger (no you haven't heard of it but it's beautiful; it's getting rereleased next week! if it's showing in your area, go and see it! and then hate me for recommending it!)
the conversation
taxi driver
close encounters of the third kind
jaws
star wars
apocalypse now
thx-1138
network
something by peter weir, maybe the last wave
ask me tomorrow and i'll probably name ten different ones. it was such a great decade for movies.
of course, nothing's as cool as witch mountain.
