The 10 Most Underrated Western Movies of the 1970s

"The 1970s was a decade of reinvention for the film industry. The emergence of some of today's most prominent filmmakers began to make their mark in cinema. Martin Scorsese dazzled us with Taxi Driver and Mean Streets. Steven Spielberg terrified us with Jaws and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Coppola gave us two Godfathers, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now. The list goes on and on with countless dramas, comedies, and science fiction.

The Western was no exception. What all these films had in common was a new kind of realism. The acting. The dialogue. Audiences could escape even deeper into a story because it felt all the more genuine. And the wild west would take one leap into a more authentic world."
