17.Heaven Can Wait
I love Heaven Can Wait, I watch it nearly every time I see it on. But I think Shampoo is the best Beatty movie of the 70s, if ever so slightly. Hell, Shampoo basically even has the same cast as Heaven Can Wait, minus Goldie Hawn.
I can't believe no one has mentioned any Hal Ashby movies.
Aside from, Shampoo, he also directed The Last Detail (maybe my favorite Nicholson movie), Being There, Coming Home, Harold and Maude, and Bound for Glory... All in the 1970s.
I think nearly every one of those were nominated for best picture.

Well thanks for ignoring my post.
The Clockwork gif is distracting I guess.

One of the movies I've owned for years.
Growing up we had it taped off of TV on VHS, then we owned it on VHS, then on DVD.
Was hilarious as the hysterical gold-digger; she drinks Champagne with Aspirin because Champagne gives her a headache.
Movie is a rewatchable gem that doesn't seem to age. It's not like, yeah this is the late 70's, how dated...the movie seems to exist outside of an era.

Do you have a link for the 90's one?

MASH
I still think the film is superior to the show... And I saw the movie far far later in life thsn I did the show.
It turns into a full blown slapstick comedy at the end with the football game and Hot Lips was relegated and buffoon and a joke.
Some of the jokes land big, too, and eliminating the Tom Skerritt southerner character on the TV series (I get why they didn't want 3 leads, but still) helped the film.
...
"Why do they call you spearchucker?"
"I threw the Javelin in college..."
"Oh, good deal."

Something similar happened w/The Virginian. The novel/movies concern the hero, villain Trampas, and charming but rascally friend Steve. When the TV show came along producers wanted to keep the well-known name Trampas, but not as a villain. So they took the character Steve and renamed him Trampas. There was an actual character Steve on the show, but he was a conventional cowboy w/o the charm of the movie Steve/TV show Trampas.
Add to all that, a nice touch: one of my favorite episodes of the series features Sonny Tufts as Trampas' father. Tufts had played Steve in the 1946 film. So he was playing his old character's father -- if you accept that the movie Steve is now the TV Trampas.
Understand?
I hope I made it clear, there will be a test later...

So many great 70s movies have already been listed. I'd add Kelly's Heroes.

Not a 70s film.
Initial release: July 11, 1980
Btw, I never knew Zemeckis directed this. Bob Gale also produced it... Same team that just 5 years later would release Back To The Future
