By The Decade: 7 From The Seventies

Here we go with another By The Decade post to help broaden my cinematic horizons and welcome your recommendations from a specific era – but this one, I’m more familiar with than others.

Following the previous 3 From The 30s, 4 From The 40s, 5 From The 50s and 6 From The 60s posts, and the brilliant suggestions from readers for their favourite films from the 1930s, the 1940s, the 1950s and the 1960s, there are loads of great suggestions for you to check out too in the By The Decades section.

I’ll be honest, I was pretty spoiled for choice this decade and it was tough to whittle them down but in selecting seven I realised just how mainstream some of the choices were. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with mainstream, especially when the quality is this high, but it means I’m hoping for some suggestions which offer something a bit new or unexpected.

As always, I’ll post the latest reader recommendations later, but in the meantime here are seven of my favourites from the 1970s.

In case you missed my 6 From The 60s, they’re here, and all the By The Decade entries so far are available here.

Here then, without further ado, are this week’s recommendations from the brilliant Late Reviewer readers…

By The Decade: 5 From The Fifties

Here we are again then, with the latest By The Decade piece to help expand my cinematic horizons and discover new films from eras I might not be overly familiar with.

Following on from my 3 From The 30s and 4 From The 40s entries, you wonderful readers made loads of great suggestions on films to check out from the 1930s and the 1940s. You might already have noticed I’ve created a special little section of the site so they’re all bunched together, make it easier to find them all in one place too.

By The Decade: 4 From The 40s

First thing’s first, I was really pleased with the response to last week’s By The Decade piece, and had some terrific recommendations for movies from the 1930s. Thanks again if you contributed to that!

Next up, of course, is a look at some of my favourites from the 1940s, and a request to you to suggest your top films from that decade, in an effort to help me and anyone who reads this discover some great films we might not be aware of.

Here are four of my recommendations from the 1940s then…

By The Decade: Your Favourite Films From The Thirties

I’m always a little wary of putting these pieces out there when I’m asking for film recommendations, but the reaction to the first By The Decade piece has been really brilliant.

Inspired by the reaction to my ‘Give It A Go’ Quick Read, and running with the #ByTheDecade tag on Twitter, I’m basically looking for films you’d suggest to anyone who wasn’t overly familiar with cinema from a specific decade, starting this week with #3FromThe30s.

As always, you didn’t disappoint, so here’s a list of films from the thirties you good people would highly recommend…
