Gritty Masterpieces of the 1970s

The Cleveland Plain Dealer listed its top 70 movies from the 1970s, the second-to-last true golden age in American cinema. I disagree with probably 5 or 6 of their picks and I hadn't seen a few, so I added a bunch of my own. These are my top 77 movies from the 1970s: an era when Hollywood allowed outsiders and rebels to make gritty, realistic movies about outsiders and rebels.
