I can think of many, but let me just name ten:

The Thing (John Carpenter)
Jaws
Conan the Barbarian
Star Wars
Death Wish
Excalibur
The Empire Strikes Back
Dirty Harry
Ghostbusters
Full Metal Jacket

[Psychonaut]

Great choices. Taxi Driver and the Shining are two of my all time favorite movies. However, I think the best movie of the 70s would have to be the Wicker Man.

Wicker Man was an awesome movie.

1970's:


The Shootist (1976) was John Wayne's last film. Sad, but also one of his best.

1980's:


Hamburger Hill (1987) is not as well known, but is one of the best Vietnam War films.

[SwordoftheVistula]

Star Wars, Weekend At Bernie's, Clockwork Orange, Apocalypse Now, Heavy Metal

Ok so I mentioned it in the other thread too but 1985 Breakfast Club is a GREAT movie!
