Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)
Last House on the Left
Tales From the Crypt
A special mention must go out to a film called The Thing With Two Heads. Although it may be misleading that it hasn't placed in my top ten, it is actually the greatest film ever made, ever!

The one with Rosey Grier? I guess we all have our 'guilty pleasures'.

Whoah! I never thought anyone would actually have heard of that yet you know the star.
Well, yeah. I didn't actually include it in my top ten because I didn't think it would be fair to The Godfather. It shouldn't have to fight off such steep competition :p

It helps that I'm as old as dirt. I bet you didn't know that he was a singer & was also known for his hobby that was normally considered a 'woman's' hobby. He also was working as a bodyguard the night of Bobby Kennedy's assassination in 1968 (he was guarding Ethel Kennedy) & helped subdue Sirhan.
I haven't seen The Thing with Two Heads but following this discussion it has been added to my 1972 watchlist... I hope I am not disappointed!
There is a small percentage chance that I wasn't being completely serious.
1972 is the year of my birth and yet I have seen fewer films, I believe, than from any other year of the 1970s. This needs to be rectified.
Yeah, same here. Apart from being born in 72 that is. I struggled with this year. There didn't seem to be much out. I'll be honest I didn't like Last Tango in Paris but I had to put it in to make up the numbers.
In my opinion the 70's weren't exactly a stellar decade for film. Except for The Godfather (I & II), Serpico, and a couple of others it was pretty dismal.

Oh, I have a large number of favourites from the 1970s, some of which I have only discovered in the past few years. I feel that filmmakers aimed high back then. I do feel one has to cut through a lot of dreck to find the gems, however.
I posted my top fifty of the 70s here a few months back and I could easily make another list of fifty which I love almost as much. Maybe in the future I shall also compile a worst of the decade list...
Oh, I have a lot of respect for the 70's. The American New Wave. It has to be the most progressive decade for cinema. I know the 60's started off the whole 'breaking the rules' schtick. But the 70's took things darker and bolder. They had more to say. They took that new 60's rebellious cinematic form and grounded and honed it into something with more voice.

No idea. I'd never even heard of him. I thought I had encyclopedic film knowledge but you've certainly put me to shame.
I assumed it was an obscure film even in 1972.
Well, he can even make sewing look badass.

Well like I said, I'm as old as dirt. Can I take a guess here & say you were born in the 90's? Or maybe the late 80's?

Early 80's. But I like your guess better.
