The 1970s was another great decade for movies

I've previously said the 1980s was the best decade for movies, but the surrounding decades were also pretty awesome.

In this post, I will share my stand-outs from the 1970s.

For me, the 1970s was mostly about action and adventure movies. It was also the decade for disaster movies with everything from building fires, airport dramas, capsized ships, shark attacks, deadly viruses and nuclear power plant near-disasters.
