America was great when the friends of Eddy Coyle was made. Middle America was still largely white. Those were the days when Hollywood was still mainly just selling crime, now it’s miscegenation and degeneracy and a nightmare 3rd world America they are creating in the name of globalist Marxism.

Awesome list. They are mostly New Hollywood but I won’t complain about that. Great look into some titles that were unseen in a great decade of cinema.

Some of my overlooked faves are
Punishment Park
Duck, You Sucker
Sorceror
F.I.S.T.

I’d add Jewison’s “..And justice for all” from 1979.

In reply to Alkis3. What lies outside of US is even more overlooked and remains so with Americentric pieces like this.

“The Wanderers” is one I enjoyed quite a bit. But “Fat City” … hated it. Mediocre, at best. Never understood the critical acclaim for that film.

I would ad “Play Misty” starring Clint Eastwood as a DJ who is stalked by a crazed fan. Long before anyone even knew what stalking was.
