Top 10 films of 1975 : (the golden 70s)

The list author says:
	"Kubrick's period epic is one of the most beautifully crafted films ever made. Sublime cinematography, period detail and soundtrack. Constantly rewarding viewing."

The list author says:
	"Kurosawa's gentle and much undervalued meditation on man's relationship with nature, with himself and with others. Set early 1900s Siberia. Beautifully filmed. A story of friendship."

The list author says:
	"Walter Hill's debut and perhaps his best. Illegal bare-knuckle streefight story set in 1930's New Orleans. Authentic and satisfying cult action drama. A real man's film."

The list author says:
	"Another great period film of 1975. Ultimate boy's adventure yarn with Caine and Connery's chemistry in superb comic form. Handsome and gripping film. Solid entertainment."

The list author says:
	"Overlooked Robert Mitchum classic from Sydney Pollack. Great action scenes but it is the undercurrent of honour and emotion that makes it so memorable. Beautiful score by Dave Grusin."

The list author says:
	"Robert Altman's all out ensemble portrait of the 1970's country music scene, from the old guard to the new blood. A darkly comic reality check on life and dreams in the biz."

The list author says:
	"Existential slapstick from Woody Allen. Yet another 1975 period film but this time a spoof of Napoleon-era Russia. Considered by many as Woody's best film. It's certainly one of them."

The list author says:
	"Jack Hill's exploitation classic. Hugely influential (see Tarantino). Girls, gangs, guns - all great trash hallmarks but the style, performances and plot make it a cut above. Perfect bad fun."

The list author says:
	"Arthur Penn directs, Gene Hackman stars in this underrated detective thriller. Introspective, smart, moody, enigmatic. 1970s Film Noir at it's finest."

The list author says:
	"'Hedgehog in the Fog'. Only ten minutes but unforgettable animation from Soviet Yuriy Norshteyn. All the beauty and fear of a childhood dream. Another great example of the 'feeling' of 1975."
