Best film of the Decade: Star Wars :D

Worst stinker: The Humanoid :eek:
 
Most of the ones mentioned above, plus 'The Conversation' and 'Dog Day Afternoon'.

They made some immense films in the 70's, often referred to as 'the decade when Cinema grew up'.

What a shame that it at such a low ebb artistically speaking at the moment.
