Slaughterhouse Five (Reminding us all why we should be grateful for Valerie Perrine before Superman)
Westworld/Futureworld
Rollerball
The Stepford Wives ( a case where the remake did not live up to the original)
The Man Who Fell To Earth (Bowie's landmark )
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Alien
Mad Max

Y'know, just because you didn't experience an era, doesn't mean you should discount the contributions.
Great list...I'd almost forgotten about The Starlost. Interesting concept, I thought.

Oh, The Terminal Man and Ark II were also classic 70's. Didn't Le Guin's Lathe of Heaven (PBS version) come out in the 70's as well?
