We just talked about this movie in our podcast.
The 1970's and specifically 1975 provided us with a Hollywood filled with gritty filmmakers.
I may have to put Dog Day Afternoon at the top of the list, but the 70s had a ton of films that were gritty. What were your favorites?

Well my friend and I just watched Looking for Mr. Goodbar for the first time. Really, any movie that takes place in NYC in the '70s is something I'll be fascinated by. It's intriguing how the film tries to show both "sides" of the effects of the sexual revolution.
