Best Movie Directors of the 1970s & Some of Their Films

The 1970s were filled with absurd styles and monumental changes in movies, as some of the world's greatest directors began experimenting like never before. Fellini, Bergman, and Truffaut, for instance, inspired Americans like John Cassavetes and Hal Ashby to make some of their most unique and cherished films of the decade. I'm going to have to make a second list featuring the Directors not included here.
