Children of the 70s

[Glavinsolo]

Going through my dvd collection and having some classics like Apocalypse Now and Chinatown. I was trying to find a 1970s movie that actually framed the 70s to what it really was, to get more nostalgia. Not so much the carhops and the concerts but more of like bringing you back into what was going on in the 70s. Only movie I have is Chinatown atm. What do you have in your collection from the 70s film era?

Don't think so. The slogan was: " Where were you in '62"

American Graffiti was a film about the early 60s. Porky's was released in 1982 and is set in the early 50s. Fast Times was released in 1982 and was about the early 80s.

Star Wars was released in 1977 and was set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

I think one movie captures that era quite nicely:

Deliverance
