Well, you can't say Star Wars because that came out in 1977.

Taxi Driver

Several other "contenders" that year but I have to say I think Network is one of the most heavy-handed, unsubtle satires I have ever seen. I truly hate it.

[Looking forward to the 1975 poll because it was such a great, great year. I know my choice won't win but it will be the correct choice. ]

Taxi Driver

But 1900 by Bertolucci is pretty damn good, too.

No surprise here... Taxi Driver, one of the all time greats (my #6 for what it's worth) takes it pretty strong.

1) Taxi Driver (21.5 votes)
2) Rocky (10)
3) Network (4)
4) All the President's Men (3)

This one's ready to close!

1975 is open here!
