22 Underrated 70s Crime Flicks According to Wealth of Geeks

"Some movie lovers think they've seen it all when it comes to '70s crime movies. They've paid their respects to 'The Godfather.' They'll never forget 'Chinatown.' They've seen 'Dirty Harry' five times or six. But the decade that forever changed Hollywood has a lot more to offer than just these well-known entries. As movie studios tried to apply classic crime and detective motifs to the creative-driven new Hollywood movement, they turned out strange and unexpected takes on cops and robbers and other familiar tropes. From Blaxpoitation and low-budget drive-in fare to counter-culture comedies and characters studies, these films raised the bar for underworld stories, despite the lack of praise they received. For anyone ready to get into the real nitty-gritty of the grittiest films of the grittiest decade, these movies are a must-see." - wealthofgeeks.com
