Movies took several turns in the 1970s. Profanity and other adult content littered almost every Best Picture in the decade. The body count was very high as well and the blood flowed in most of the films. The decade also lacked a feel good movie too. We walked away from each movie with a very sober feeling.
On the upside, this decade brought new special effects and the action in the movies was cranked up several notches. Also, movies became "modern" more closely resembling movies today than the films in the previous decades.
We will also think of this decade as the era of the great actor: De Niro, Hoffman, Duvall, Streep, Nicholson, Pacino. Each film was another clinic in acting.
The movies were raw. The movies were masculine. The movies were tremendous. The 70s have been the greatest decade for movies so far.
