...don't shoot me,please... but personally I prefer only => 80s movies... I usually avoid to watch 60/70s because, apart some exception, like 2001, no good sci-fi movies were produced during those years... but I'm open to suggestion, though!

Blasphemy!
 I think there are SOME people around, who actually do like Movies of that era ..Personally, I feel there is a cut in movie history after the huge success of the Original Star Wars 1977, when movies became more commercial and less artistic. Well, here we go: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Taxi Driver A Clockwork Orange Godfather II

I haven't mentioned Star Wars because, even if it was presented in 1977, it was "ahead of its time" - like 2001, and so this is one of those exception - always considered an " '80s movie released too soon "!!!
GBU: of course one (if not THE) of the great western of all time... Spaghetti Western rules - with Peplums and Italian B-grade horror movies... A Clockwork Orange is a great film, another exception like 2001 - maybe because it was directed by the same director... Now I leave the word to someone who knows better than me those decade's movies! Thanks given by: Revolverheld
Bullitt
Dog Day Afternoon Midnight Cowboy Cool Hand Luke Easy Rider Minus horror movies from that era, these are my top five.  Nice list Revolverheld! I love all of those.

That's super broad timespan. Since I'm a giant film fan, I could type all day about the many films I love from the 60s and 70s but off the top of my head:
60s Westerns The Wild Bunch Magnificent Seven The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Lonely Are The Brave The Professionals Ride The High Country Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Spaghetti Westerns The Leone Films (FFOD, FAFDM, TGTBATU, OUATITW) Corbucci Films (Great Silence, Companeros, Django, Mercenary, Navajo Joe) Death Rides A Horse Big Gundown A Bullet for the General Samurai Films (Especially anything scope and black and white) The Sword Of Doom Yojimbo/Sanjuro Harakiri Goyokin Three Outlaw Samurai Kill! Samurai Wolf Zatoichi Films Samurai Assassin Samurai Rebellion 13 Assassins/11 Samurai War Movies Great Escape The Diry Dozen Where Eagles Dare Guns of Navarone Zulu Horror Hammer Films (Draculas, Frankensteins) Night Of The Living Dead Crime Point Blank Bullit Jean-Pierre Melville Films Hitchcock Films Sean Connery Bonds Planet Of The Apes Cool Hand Luke Carade 2001 Wait Until Dark Lawrence Of Arabia (Really any of the 70mm epics) The Manchurian Candidate 70s Sci-Fi Alien Star Wars Close Encounters Crime Godfather The Taking Of Pelham 1,2,3 Dirty Harry The Sting The Shaw Bros Films Golden Harvest Films (Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao) Halloween Outlaw Josey Wales Emperor Of The North Pole Jaws Patton The Getaway The Warriors Deliverance Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia Enter The Dragon Apocalypse Now Sorcerer Monty Python and the Holy Grail The Driver Superman Marathon Man

Alien and Close Encounters are other notable exceptions - still thinking to them as released in the wrong decade...

Good 70s sci-fi (minus the obvious ones).... hmmm...
Solyaris (1972) (Solaris) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) Oh, I know: Capricorn One (1977) Not many that aren't campy, though.

The ones (I think) not mentioned yet...
The Graduate Dr. Strangelove The Apartment Planet of the Apes (you know, the good one!) Apocalype Now (okay, I agree this one can be a bit of a mess, but Robert Duvall is inspired) The Godfather Chinatown Young Frankenstein (cough, c'mon Mr. 80's film man!) Superman My Fair Lady The thing I love about 70's films is the pacing. In the 60's and before, they were too busy trying to dazzle you, in the 80's and after they were too busy making it to the next plot point. But in the 70's, man, a film could just meander. You had to have patience, the story would reveal itself when it d*mn well wanted to. I love that, because, well, it's more like real life and less like a video game. |
