Full disclosure: I'm a greasy wop.
 
God these things are fucking impossible.

I voted The Godfather, Jaws and Star Wars.

Alien, Rocky, Halloween and Apocalypse Now could all be interchanged. Ugh.

Also A Clockwork Orange should be added to the list.
 
Best or favorite? If we're going with best, it's hard to beat the 2 GFs and Deer Hunter but none would be in my favorites.
 
3. Deliverance has a hillbilly butt rape and near mouth rape scene as its centerpiece, and that's what gets most of the attention. But it's a fantastic movie and really captures the angst of the 70s. Prime Burt is not something to be fucked with.
2. Deer Hunter: Peak Deniro.
1. Taxi Driver: Peak Deniro, Peak Scorcese.
 
Godfather still holds up as one of the best films of all time

Jaws is still extremely watchable and probably has the best acting scene of any move listed (telling battle scar stories in the hull) Best american Horror film -- https://books.google.ca/books?id=CX...se&redir_esc=y&hl=en#v=onepage&q=jaws&f=false - still causes people to avoid the water.

Rocky -- the defining american underdog / rags to riches story (in fim and in real life RE: Stallone)
 
Damn, what a spectacular decade of movies. There should be special exemptions for the 70s; nobody should have to choose just three.
 
For me

1. Aguirre The Wrath of God
2. Apocalypse Now
3. Le Cercle Rouge
 
From this list...

Picked Rocky, Godfather II and Enter the Dragon.

Honorable mentions: Godfather I, Superman, and Star Wars
