You nailed it with your selection of What's Up Doc? as your favorite movie of 1972!! That's mine, too😊 Truly a gem of a comedy!!!!!!

I love What's up Doc? too, one of my favourites of the year.

[@driouxbie]

My late Mom got me into both Star Wars and Doctor Who. The second movie I saw in the theatre was the original Star Wars. Vividly remember arriving late (Mom was chronically so), sitting down, looking up and seeing Darth Vader's first entrance. After the end, we sat in the theatre until the movie started up again. We watched the main title, the crawl, and the entire opening sequence is what we saw last. Then we left at Vader's entrance. Hooked forever.

[@jcanada9405]

Being born in '75, many of my most nostalgic watches come from the decade. A lot of close calls per year with other films. Good call on High Plains Drifter. Just recently saw that. 1970 - Beneath the Planet of the Apes 1971 - The French Connection 1972 - Godzilla vs Gigan 1973 - Enter the Dragon 1974 - Black Christmas 1975 - Jaws 1976 - King Kong 1977 - Star Wars 1978 - Superman 1979 - Apocalypse Now

[@michaelhill692]

Went to see Alien in the theater right after it opened. I was blown away and am still a huge fan. I've also enjoyed all the sequels and related movies involved in that franchise. Jaws is one of my all-time favorites. I watch it at least once every year.

[@KRhetor]

Here's mine!: Five Easy Pieces, The Andromeda Strain, The Godfather, American Graffiti, Chinatown, The Man Who Would Be King, Massacre at Central High, Annie Hall (can't choose between Star Wars and Close Encounters!) An Unmarried Woman, Alien. A lot of the movies you mentioned were close runners-ups for me: The Exorcist, Phantom of the Paradise, Barry Lyndon and Taxi Driver.

[@Thomas-rw9nt]

Good choices! I love so many 1970s films: The Last Picture Show, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Taxi Driver, Nashville, Five Easy Pieces, The Godfather, The Day of the Locust, Klute, The French Connection, A Clockwork Orange, Cabaret, Paper Moon, etc. What's Up, Doc? is hilarious with excellent performances. My parents took me to see it.

[@Julie-p6u6m]

Totally agree with you about Jaws! I saw it when it came out and watch it every few years and it still holds up to this day. Easily one of my top 3 movies of all time!!

[@ronaldboyker2123]

I put my list out before you mentioned it, but it looks like you and I are kindred spirits with Jaws as our favorite.👍☺️

[@Marcel_Audubon]

so hard to choose just 1 in most of these years! The '70s were a post studio system golden age for movies. Love seeing everyone's picks 👍 here are mine: 1970 - They Shoot Horses, Don't They? 1971 - McCabe and Mrs Miller, Harold and Maude 1972 - Cabaret 1973 - Paper Moon 1974 - Thieves Like Us 1975 - Nashville 1976 - Taxi Driver 1977 - The Duellists 1978 - Autumn Sonata 1979 - Tess

[@VictoriaViolet1849]

Have you done an episode on the music score and sound effects of 70s horror movies? That's what makes them feel so eerie.

[@hunterrobinson2846]

I love the 70s! Many of my all-time favorites are from the 70s and like your list, a lot of mine are horror. 1970 - Gimme Shelter: I'm not a huge fan of the Rolling Stones but this is potentially my favorite documentary. It's awesome. 1971 - Straw Dogs is probably number one but Let's Scare Jessica to Death is a close second. 1972 - There are several that could be number one but I'm going with What Have You Done to Solange?, one of my favorite Italian genre movies of all-time. Deliverance, Sonny and Jed and Don't Torture a Duckling are my runners up. 1973 - The Exorcist but Badlands is a close second. 1974 - The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which is my fourth favorite movie of all time. 1975 - Jaws 1976 - Taxi Driver, Carrie is a close second. 1977 - Close Encounters of the Third Kind, part of me wants to choose Sorcerer but Close Encounters is my true favorite from the year. 1978 - I haven't seen it in years but I'm going with Invasion of the Body Snatchers. 1979 - Alien but I love it and Apocalypse Now pretty much equally.

[@cobwebschannel]

Awesome list!

[@LyraStitchery]

Jaws has great memories for me. I was like 5 or maybe 6. My dad would sneak me out of bed and we watched it together. He did the same thing with the movie Pirahna.

[@difernandez4899]

The Wickerman was an excellent study of Paganism versus Christianity; love it. We saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre at the drive-in; still scary.

[@MattST69]

Wonderful list ❤ I grew up in the 1970s so am old enough to have seen 'Star Wars' on its first theatrical run (aged 8, which is the perfect age!). I wish I could re-live that thrill. You mentioned Alec Guinness giving a great but reluctant performance but this wasn't the case, he was very enthusiastic at the time and enjoyed the experience of working with George Lucas whose talent and vision he admired. Yes he found the dialogue hokey but that didn't stop him from being a positive and supportive presence on set. It was only in later years that he became disenchanted with the whole Star Wars phenomenon, he was irritated by the fan obsession of people he met who didn't realise he'd done anything else. Great channel, I am thoroughly enjoying your videos, and I particularly share your love of gothic horror movies, especially Hammer ❤ best wishes from London, England Oh and here's my list: 1970 Five Easy Pieces 1971 Dirty Harry 1972 Frenzy 1973 The Satanic Rites of Dracula (yes, really 😂 much prefer this to The Exorcist which I do like also) 1974 The Taking of Pelham 123 1975 Jaws 1976 The Omen 1977 Star Wars 1978 Superman 1979 Dracula (Langella) This list is right off the top of my head, there are loads of others for each year that I love but if I start adding my own honourable mentions and runners-up, I'll be here all week. To me, the 1970s was truly a golden era of movies

[@whenthepicturesgotbigger]

It’s going to be hard to give only one per year, and I may have a different list tomorrow, but for now: 1970: Donkey Skin 1971: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,l 1972: Gotta be cliche - The Godfather! 1973: Paper Moon 1974: The Godfather Part II or The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, although I did a retrospective episode on Mel Brooks and watched Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles several times for research. It’s hard to believe those are both this same year!! 1975: Dersu Uzala 1976: Mikey and Nicky 1977: High Anxiety 1978: Halloween 1979: Kramer vs Kramer

[@cobwebschannel]

Love that you also picked a Peter Bogdonavich movie!

I'll agree with Willy Wonka for 1971, but for 1975 there were better choices than yours. 1975 had great movies: Monty Python's Holy Grail, Barry Lyndon, Jaws, Return of the Pink Panther, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Hey brother! So, I'm semi-new to your channel and I absolutely love your content! I'm sincerely grateful there's a channel that I can relate to and have fun with. It makes me feel like I'm apart of something, and having crippling social anxiety, I'm just very grateful for your channel! So, I know I'm pretty late to this party lol but I've compiled my favorite film from each year in the 1970s and I'll do a list for every decade that you did 😀 here are my pics...... Oh, and just a disclaimer, I kinda cheated on a couple of years with ties 😂 I just couldn't decide though. 1970- Airport 1971- Tie! Klute and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 1972- Tie! Cabaret and The Godfather 1973- The Exorcist 1974- Tie! Murder on the Orient Express and The Godfather Part ll 1975- Tie! Jaws and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1976- Network 1977- Suspiria 1978- Tie! Halloween and The Deer Hunter 1979- Three-way tie! 😂 Apocalypse Now, The Warriors and Alien The 1970s, 1980s and 1990s are going to be very difficult decades to come up with only one film per year lol but being a true film lover, I think it's understandable lol.

[@deenahaiber4091]

Daniel, Im curious if you’ve ever seen/reviewed the 1977 movie, The Sentinel? It’s horror, I was absolutely et it blown away by how great this movie is. It’s got Burgess Meredith, freaking Ava Gardner, and even a young Jeff Goldblum. I’d classify it as religious horror, but it would definitely also fit right in with Roman Polanski’s apartment trilogy. There was some controversy involving very early lgbtq characters and also disabled actors. But super unique and worth a watch - I found the lead actress amazing.

[@markrothenbuhler6232]

A little late here, but here are my best of for each year: 70: Patton, 71: Harold & Maude, 72: Deliverance, 73: The Sting, 74: Chinatown, 75: Jaws (With Monty Python and the Holy Grail and close 2nd), 76: Silver Streak, 77: Star Wars, 78: Dawn of the Dead, 79: The Muppet Movie.

[@MrBlaineH]

A quick list of alternative picks (deliberately stepping around some more obvious choices): 1970 - Beyond the Valley of the Dolls 1971 - McCabe and Mrs. Miller 1972 - Deliverance 1973 - The Exorcist (can't help myself here) 1974 - Deranged 1975 - Gina 1976 - The Omen 1977 - Foes or The Farmer (tie) 1978 - Convoy (Hey! another Peckinpah film! Really though, this year is such a gap for me) 1979 - Over the Edge.

[@davea6314]

Blazing Saddles was the best movie for 1974. Animal House for 1978. 1975 had great movies: Monty Python's Holy Grail, Barry Lyndon, Jaws, Return of the Pink Panther, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

[@davea6314]

1979 Monty Python's Life of Brian

[@davea6314]

I like comedy not horror

[@machfront]

Born in ‘74, so a child of the 80’s (as many misunderstand the term). During my childhood in the 80’s of course I was exposed to new films of the era but also older films on TV or VHS rental from the 70’s. I LOVE 70’s films of every genre! Three Days of the Condor. Taxi Driver. The Seven-Ups. Satan’s Slave. The Hills Have Eyes. The Kremlin Letter. The Blood on Satan’s Claw (which I personally love far above The Wicker Man). Dawn of the Dead. Assault on Precinct 13. Across 110th Street. The Gauntlet. CEofT3K. Hardcore. The Driver. The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. The Laughing Policeman. The Killer Elite. Busting. Hot Stuff. The Getaway. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. The Last Wave. Murder by Death. Logan’s Run.

[@jonbolton3376]

You are right, this is one of my favourite movie decades, fot some years i have to give a few honourable mentions. My favourites are: 70 Scars of Dracula 71 Dirty Harry 72 Carry On Abroad (but also really love Frenzy, Bless this House, Dracula: AD 1972, and What's up Doc?) 73 Live and Let Die 74 The Towering Inferno 75 Jaws 76 Family Plot (The Omen is very close) 77 High Anxiety 78 Halloween (Halloween is my favourite movie ever, but Damien: Omen 2 is my third favourite, i can't help they were made the same year, i also love Foul Play) 79 Moonraker

[@Diabolik771]

70s were awesome. My favorite move of all time "Dawn of the Dead" is a 70's. It's too hard to pick the rest. Star Wars, is on there for sure. So many great horror, drama, comedy and action movies from this decade.

[@joesantamaria5874]

1975: without a doubt, Dog Day Afternoon. It’s Pacino’s best career performance, and so realistic that it looks like a documentary, much like Saturday Night Fever.

[@jonbolton3376]

I used to have similar feelings to you about Halloween. I don't know what age you first saw it, i was 5. It taught me an early lesson to always check the back seat of a car though😋. I thought it was decent, but for years got obsessed with Halloween 3, re-watching it on VHS. It was only in my early 20s (the early 2000s) i really began to appreciate and love it. Since then it's switched places with Die Hard as my 1 and 2 films , for the last 2 years Michael Myers has been beating John Mclane as my favourite movie lol.

[@bigthingsproductions]

Here, I definitely have a crime bias: 1970 - Straw Dogs (granted, have not seen many from this particular year; though just recently saw Colossus: The Forbin Project, and it blew me away) 1971 - The French Connection (though also recently watched Beguiled, and I was) 1972 - Godfather (have to; but I'll mention my guilty pleasure: Prime Cut) 1973 - The Exorcist (tough; though The Sting and Soylent Green are in the running) 1974 - Chinatown (getting harder...) 1975 - Jaws (you make a great case here; but I also really want to say Dog Day Afternoon) 1976 - Carrie (Marathon Man is, for some reason, a movie that keeps calling me) 1977 - Star Wars 1978 - Superman (as far as greatest effect on my life, has to be) 1979 - Alien (though I'll throw And Justice for All and The Life of Brian out there)

[@cobwebschannel]

Great list! Cool that we have several crossovers.

[@nl3064]

Straw Dogs was 1971.

[@kelleyceccato7025]

I don't really have a favorite film for every year of this decade, but here are some of my favorite 70s films in general: 1971: Fiddler on the Roof, Harold and Maude 1972: None 1973: The Way We Were, The Exorcist 1974: Young Frankenstein 1975: Jaws 1976: None (though I imagine that when I get around to seeing The Omen, it will take this spot) 1977: Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Spy Who Loved Me 1978: Superman, Heaven Can Wait, Halloween, Watership Down 1979: Alien, The Muppet Movie Hmm... this turned out to be easier than I thought. With the exceptions of 1972 and 1976, I was able to find at least one movie I love for every year of this decade.

[@fringelilyfringelily391]

1971: The French Connection 1972: Chinatown ... for me, the greatest movie of the seventies, and one of the best scripts of all time, superbly delivered in every aspect: acting, direction, art direction, cinematography and music.

[@stevemcnary7963]

Chinatown is 1974

[@melanie62954]

The 1970s isn't my best decade either, but I'm working on it. There are a lot of Altman and Eastwood films I need to see! 1970: Patton (this is a cheat because I barely remember the movie, but there's nothing better I can think of. I just remember how fantastic Jerry Goldsmith's score was) 1971: Fiddler on the Roof (runners up: Willy Wonka, Duel) 1972: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (runners up: What's Up Doc?, The Godfather) 1973: The Three Musketeers (runners up: Disney's Robin Hood, Cries and Whispers) 1974: Chinatown (runners up: Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles) 1975: Jaws (Such a great year! Runners up: Mirror, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Dersu Uzala, Sholay) 1976: Rocky (runner up: Murder by Death and maybe Taxi Driver) 1977: Star Wars (runners up: Close Encounters, The Goodbye Girl) 1978: Days of Heaven (runners up: Superman, Autumn Sonata, Killer of Sheep. Also, Watership Down scared the crap out of me as a kid!) 1979: Alien (runner up: Apocalypse Now, and I have a feeling that once I watch Tarkovsky's Stalker, it might take the top spot)

The 1970s: 1970 - Cromwell. Richard Harris's Oliver Cromwell vs Alec Guiness's King Charles I. (it was nearly 'Patton') 1971 - A Clockwork Orange. 1972 - The Godfather. Obvious I know, but I DO really enjoy 'What's Up Doc?', too. 1973 - American Graffiti. Edging in front (after singing Some Enchanted Evening') of 'Enter the Dragon' and 'The Wicker Man'. 1974 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Sorry 'Blazing Saddles'. 1975 - Jaws. I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't have this as their 1975 No.1. 1976 - Rocky. 1977 - Hmm, I figure a lot of my choices have been very obvious this decade, so for 1977 I'm going to go with a little underseen gem. There's this great little sci-fi/fantasy/space-western called 'Star Wars' which is a fantastic mix of adventure, humour and loveable characters. If you haven't seen it, I implore you to seek it out. I know it's available on VHS, I don't know if it was ever released on DVD/Blu-ray. Which is a shame. (shout out to 'Pete's Dragon', too. I adore this film). 1978 - Superman. 1979 - Alien. Yeah. Not very interesting, really. Fairly obvious picks throughout. Makes an argument for hearing everybody's FIFTH fave film of each decade: M*A*S*H, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, What's Up Doc?, Robin Hood (Disney's), The Front Page, A Boy and his Dog, Who Can Kill a Child?

[@lennydellarocca4992]

It was the groovy 60s, not 70s! Everybody confuses the two. The 60s were groovy,

[@cobwebschannel]

Why not both? Plus the ‘80s if you count Evil Dead 2! 😁

[@robbush6822]

1970 PATTON 1971 DIRTY HARRY 1972 THE GODFATHER 1973 THE EXORCIST 1974 BLAZING SADDLES 1975 JAWS 1976 NETWORK 1977 STAR WARS 1978 SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE 1979 ALIEN

[@davea6314]

The best film for 1974 was Blazing Saddles NOT Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[@cobwebschannel]

Funny enough, a repertory screening of Blazing Saddles was my first date with my wife. We enjoyed it!

[@thelookuplookdown]

The early 70s were dreary and depressing {possible because of Vietnam}, as a teen in South Africa the only entertainment I could count on were James Bond or Disney movies. Things changed dramatically in the latter part with Spielberg /Lucas and a film like SUPERMAN returned to the grateful arms of the cinema going public. Michael =South Africa .ps. Ditto on The Godfather, overhyped, overblown watching it now Brandos cheeks are so obviously stuffed with cotton wool and his performance has been mimicked and paradied to such an extent it's impossible to watch him now without smiling. My favorite film from the 70s and of all time is Kubricks BARRY LYNDON the lighting bolt in what was the darkness of the early 70s. M

[@cobwebschannel]

haha You make a great point. There’s some great stuff in the early ‘70s, but it’s far from my favorite era.

[@LyraStitchery]

I liked Close Encounters until the ending. *spoilers ahead I guess* Dude just abandoned his family and like didn’t leave them so much as a note. Sorry no he was a horrible person.

[@francoisevassy6614]

I am disappointed : in 1973, you didn’t even mention The Sting !!! And I don’t agree when people say The Godfather is the best film ever : are those persons ignorant ? Have they never seen Casablanca or Twelve Angry Men ?

[@cobwebschannel]

I haven't seen The Sting in years, but I remember loving it. Good call that it deserved a mention.
