If we're counting the first couple of years of the 1970s, we really should count Deliverance (1972).

Top quality film.

Terrific film, but definitely made deep in the 70ies.

Yeah was going out on a bit of a "complete guess" limb there. Easy Rider was Jack's first film and that was 69 so I should have been able to figure it out.

Ok a few I can think of.

The good, the bad and the ugly
The Searchers
12 Angry men
The wild bunch
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Graduate
Spartacus
Planet of the Apes

I guess you might not call all of these great but certainly everyone should have seen these as even if the film in general is not great they all contain classic scenes.

Seven Samurai

And also I imagine Yojimbo was also pre-1970. It is another Kurasawa epic.

Christ OK... Jack's first film of any note. He was apparently awful in "the Terror".

I liked him in Hells Angels on Wheels but i like my b-movies and Easy Rider loses it completely in the last half. Well actually as soon as Jack is gone the film is shite.

I've going to pretend that you actually mean pre-1974.

The Conversation.

/its heart is in the late '60's

Oh - Ok then - how about Charade (1963)

Cary Grant, Walter Matthau, Audrey Hepburn, James Coburn, glorious Technicolour , a Henry Mancini score and Paris.

Look it up on IMDB - it's a real gem.

2 pages and no "Lawrence of Arabia"?

Those two, plus Citizen Kane, Paths of Glory, Easy Rider, Navarone, River Kwai, Dr. Strangelove, Good Bad Ugly, Ben Hur.

Great movies (pre-1970)?

Geez! There's too many to mention. Take a look a some reliable top 100s (Time Out is good) and go through it. Many of the greats listed there are pre-1970 and it's a good place to start.
