THE DUELLISTS (1977)

The first film from director Ridley Scott was also about some very American actors fighting duels while dressed up as historical French guys.

THE ASCENT (1977)

An extremely depressing Soviet World War II movie that is also probably a great work of art.

STAR WARS (1977)

Somewhere beneath everything that’s been piled on top of it is one of the greatest movies ever made.

ANNIE HALL (1977)

My favorite romantic comedy of all time, it uses new tricks in every scene to get inside the neurotic heads of its characters.

SUSPIRIA (1977)

The plot may make no sense, but this gory, psychedelic fever dream still retains its power after all these years.
