The 70's movies often had a gritty raw look and style to them directors like Quentin Tarantino still trying to capture with varying successes. Classics like Dog Day Afternoon, Dirty Harry, and Serpico. Here's two lesser known movies of the genre I bet many of not seen. What lesser known 70s classics you recommend? I saw all of those move in the theater as a kid when they didn't care what your age was to get in. Those where some times....
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)

#2 on my list:
Electra Glide in Blue, with a very young Robert Blake, 1974. This one was pretty dark and reminds me of Easy Rider from the LE side.

I would argue that Tarantino is trying to connect to the 70s' success. Maybe if he could have a screenplay without more than 5 F-bombs, he would succeed... (don't get me wrong, I like most of his movies. But the use of the 'eff' word detracts from what would otherwise be excellent movies)...

A lot of the lesser known or B movies of the Seventies were the second feature at the drive in on a summer night.
Having seen both "Electra Glide in Blue" and "Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry" I can assure you they are best seen from the back of a station wagon that has been equipped with a foam mattress covered by an old blanket with a grocery sack full of popcorn and a Coke in a glass bottle.
Never share a Coke with your four year old brother, he leaves floaters.
Ahh those were good times and good movies.

Never heard of the second one but Dirty Mary Crazy Larry is a classic for Mopar lovers. Vanishing Point is another.

For some reason I really liked Two Lane Blacktop.

The “Walking Tall” trilogy.

The “Billy Jack” movies were interesting. Also all the original “Death Wish” movies. Pretty much any Charles Bronson movie is bad ass in my book.
