The 1970s brought us memorable 'Best Picture' winners. From movies considered as a synonyms of "classic", through the first sports movie to win this Academy Award, to the first nomination for a legendary actress.What is more, many of the decade's 'Best Picture' winners are in the IMDb Top 250 today, which is a big achievement on It's own.

So which of these "Best Picture" gems will you most likely remember?

I would go as far as saying as the 70s brought the best streak of Best Picture winners, even those that won over more popular or critically acclaimed classics were classics on their own. My vote is obvious but I'll recommend just more enthusiasm in the intro, the 70s deserve that: :)

Even the question can be rephrased with words like "the greatest", "the most classic"... "will you most remember" might imply that they're not much memorable... while they are.

it's really tough trying to pick from the 70's...

'all the president's men'...'dog day afternoon'...'network'...3 of my favorite films, all from the 70's, none from the best picture list...that''s how good the 70's were...

as for the list itself, hard to go against woody and 'annie hall'...then again...paul newman in 'the sting'...stallone in 'rocky'...hackman in 'the french connection'...decisions decisions...
