Ask anyone passionate about the history of film what decade was the best for movies, and they’ll likely tell you that, without a doubt, it was the 1970s. This was the decade when the “New Hollywood” directors—people like George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Brian De Palma, and more—dominated. It’s hard to believe, but there was a time when pretty much every movie that came out had to be relatively family-friendly. It was this generation that shook up what was considered acceptable on the big screen, allowing movies to get a whole lot more provocative and interesting. And, of course, it was also the decade that gave birth to four-quadrant blockbuster moviemaking, with films like The Exorcist, Jaws, and Star Wars all setting new box office records, unleashing an event movie craze that continues to this day. It was also the heyday of good ol’ boy car chase movies (the best ones starred Burt Reynolds), disaster flicks, exploitation horror and a whole lot more.
