I don't get the huge elation over this year, named by many to be the #1 of all time. My 2nd least favorite year of the 70s with 1978 as my least favorite.
Could be because I don't care for most of the classics this year. I'm not that big on Jaws or Cuckoo's Nest even if they make my top 10. They're good, but neither are the classics they're often named among.
Barry Lyndon pretty much destroys the rest here. And The Mirror destroys the others. Past #3-5..... I'm having a hard time coming up with more movies. And Lead Actor is also underwhelming. The other categories are good tho.

2. The Mirror
3. Love and Death
