Nice to see a few blaxploitation made the cut :) And you can't do the 1970s justice without mentioning Travolta and the horror genre, so good to see those represented too.

There's 12 films in that list that I have seen as I hope to see more. There's so many films that I missed out and hope to watch soon. I'm already thinking about making a list of the best films of the 2010s but I think I will do it properly in 2020 or 2021 but subtitled "Take One".thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-15885393909665794812018-03-13T15:20:06.964-04:002018-03-13T15:20:06.964-04:00I haven't seen Harold and Maude in a very long...I haven't seen Harold and Maude in a very long time but I remember not liking it.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is great too. I have Monty Python on my Blind Spot list so I'm looking forward to that.<br /><br />A Clockwork Orange is one I need to re-watch. I actually saw that film when I was really young, and my sister kept making me cover my eyes during parts of it (because she's a good babysitter) and of course it was during all the rape scenes. Because of that I'm a bit afraid to re-watch it.

Bugsy Malone was entertaining; I don't think a movie like that would work nowadays. Harold & Maude was charming.
