2. I'd say "Ice Storm"

It perfectly captured what the 70's were about. Another excellent Ang Lee film.

or are you considering films about the 70's that were made after the fact?

i'd pick something that was made concurrently with that that time frame

5. Tie between Boogie Nights, Summer of Sam and D&C
I can watch Dazed and Confused all the time and not get sick of it.

People vs Larry Flynt is an honorable mention because half of it goes into the 80s and I simply cannot take Courtney Love seriously. Still a great film. I mean, it's GOT Crispin Glover!!

Ooops! I hought you said made in the 70's. Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing, if you've got it. ;(
