The 70s would change so much for films and certainly SF starting with THX 1138, A Clockwork Orange, Westworld, and of course Star Wars. Thank you very much for these nostalgic reminders from that decade.
I only featured a few – there were lots of other films – The Godfather, The Exorcist, Apocalypse Now, Animal House, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Omen, Blazing Saddles – could certainly be considered Blockbusters.

I was 22 when I finally saw one groundbreaking early-70s film. It was Deliverance. I first bought it on VHS while vacationing in Florida.
