the rule about no inanimate objects really put a stranglehold on this for me. To me, when i pick something for this list it has to immediately scream: "70's" to me or it doesn't fit the icon status.
I mean who wouldn't pick bellbottoms or disco for that list otherwise?
I couldn't really come up with 10 that screamed 70's to me but I think the few I listed here do fill the bill.
Farrah
Bee Gees
ABBA
Brady Bunch
Nixon
Evel Knievel
Sonny & Cher

Nemozoe...I do love Jaws, don't get me wrong...a true iconic 70s classic.
Check out the trailer for Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (made from a miniscule budget of only $110,000)...
YouTube - Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) Trailer
It is one of the most realistic chilling movies ever made...

It makes Jaws look like a giant puppet show.
P.S. I can think of 20 more realistic horror flicks than Jaws. But do we really wanna go there?

It's cool that you disagree but you are putting too much emphasis on "realistic". There is a difference between realistic and factual. Realisticly a shark could be that big. Just because one hasn't been found yet, doesn't mean they aren't out there in the ocean. The concept is what makes it terrifying. I'm sure you realize that Surfers get attacked quite often on the west coast by GWs. I really don't see any other horror movies being anywhere near realistic or factual. For instance a dead dude wearing a hockey mask who gets killed by some teeny bopper girl time and time again...yeah right. Is there a horror movie you can think of that even comes close to being realistic? Let me know because I'm seriously drawing a blank.
Besides...the daddy in the oceans is not the great white...that title belongs to the wolf of the sea...the orca aka killer whale...a much more massive apex predator, a much faster swimmer...and of course...a thousand times smarter.

Sorry...but I highly disagree with you.
Great White Sharks don't behave like that...they don't overturn boats...and never such a species that large has ever been recorded...and to tell you the truth...they are relatively easy to kill...ask the Chinese (shark fin soup).
I didn't want to point things out...but Anthony said...prepare to defend your picks.

I gotta say only one mention of The Godfather is a bit surprising, given the careers it launched and/or resurrected. Plus, it sparked much imitation and launched at least one Pizza Chain that still exists.
I still see commercials based on the premise. "An offer you can't refuse." and all.Leave a comment:

I do think "Jaws" was the first movie to be thought of in the term "Blockbuster" as we now understand it, though.Leave a comment:
