Here are some of mine:

Three Days of the Condor - spy on the out with the company (Borne Identity template)

Chinatown - great noir and more (on your list)

Marathon Man - "Is it safe?" And what’s better than killing Nazis?

Jeremiah Johnson - "t'weren't Mormons"

American Graffiti - Even though the '55 loses to the '32 coup, still a great flick (on Requiem's list)

Heaven Can Wait - dumb comedy, but I like it.

One nit pick from your list; I think The Deer Hunter is very overrated.

What about "The Outlaw Josie Wales"? That's an old favorite of mine.

Alright I've given ya'll long enough and owing to my status as Resident jackass, I feel compelled to list the very finest film that 1970's cinema had to offer....

Deepthroat

I am disappointed to have to be the one to list this masterpiece. I thought that certain of you aesthetes and cinephiles would have singled it out for it's rightful place of honor. Shame...

All it takes is one post like this and the whole thread goes down. Shame on you, DD.

Give him a break, he waited until the thread was on the third page. I should note that he forgot the Debbie Does Dallas and other random locations series.
