1970's Best Movies: 50 Years Later

really don't think 3 Women should descend on this list

not relevant to 1970 though

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

for people who subscribe to the Criterion Channel and are interested in seeing Five Easy Pieces, it is one of the films that will be discontinued at the end of January

a minor point, but I really liked Nicholson’s shirt at the bowling alley. I wish they would make baseball shirts today the didn’t have the darker color draped over the shoulders, just on the arms, it is so much more appealing.

What you're saying is you prefer a Set-In sleeve to a Raglan sleeve. A Set-In sleeve has a seam around the shoulder and under the arm whereas the Raglan sleeve has a seam that goes from under the arm right up to the collar with no shoulder seam. Raglan sleeves are popular because many people feel they provide more freedom of movement, although I agree that a Set-In Sleeve looks nicer. Not sure if a Raglan sleeve would have helped Nicholson's bowling game though.

thanks for explaining that! I thought the outfits in the film were really good

I've always loved those baseball tees and wish I was still thin enough to wear them.

Of the films that got votes, I've never seen (any) Otar Iosseliani or El Topo (damn stoners).

Dodes'ka-den should have gotten a vote or two

From memory, I think The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes was Sarris's #1 or #2 that year--he did something of an about-face with Wilder after The American Cinema.

haven't seen that film

It's mostly fun. Not in my top 10, or 15, for that year.
