Kind of fun, but not very informative. Too much ground to cover, and not enough time to do it effectively.

Basically a "greatest hits" clip show of the seventies. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it just doesn't stick with you.

Not enough information, just a collection of interesting (or not) quotes from great directors.

It's really just a bunch of esteemed directors and actors and writers talking about twenty or thirty of the best films from the 70s. It's not very informative, but I agree with the notion that films from that decade could have only existed in that decade, so it was enjoyable.

Robert Altman: "I don't even know the names of my biggest influences. I would go see a bad movie and say to myself 'never do that!'" Fun watch for film buffs out there.

More of a documentary on how the 70's were influenced, not how movies of later generations were influenced by the 70's.

I love 70's cinema, so there were a couple of interesting bits for me. All of the interviewees were great, too. But it's basically just a compilation of these guys saying cool things about cool films. Entertaining, but not very informative.
