"The 1970s is widely accepted as a peak decade for cinema. Hollywood's Golden Age, with its stars like Humphrey Bogart, came to a symbolic end after Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider (1969). The filmmaking mantle had now passed to the next generation.
The 1970s saw the established careers of the New Hollywood auteurs: Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg et al. Meanwhile, the era was enriched by its blacksploitation, horror, counterculture and art films. This list will recommend ten 1970s movie classics that are certain to delight cinephiles."
