The Most Underrated Sci-Fi Movies of the 1970s

"Almost none of the movies of this turbulent decade garnered the kind of critical approval lavished upon other genres at that time, with sci-fi still considered a lesser cinematic arena than more upscale categories. Some of the era's output has been reappraised since then, however, and we'd venture that the genre was at its unbridled best in terms of imagination and creative freedom then. Well, at least until 1977 when a little movie called Star Wars came along and made the studios realize that there was box office gold in that secluded little sci-fi valley—and moved in with big budgets and armies of development execs.
We can debate the ramifications of that until the sun itself goes supernova, but in the meantime, here are two dozen of the 1970s' most underrated and signature sci-fi movies for you to bend your mind with."
