Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
94%
“Star Wars has exploded into existence like some new nebula... What does it offer that excites both patrons and promoters? First, it's good science fiction, and that's a genre long overdue.” –

Barry Lyndon (1975)
78%
“There's nothing more disappointing than a hoped for masterpiece that turns out to be a minor piece. Barry Lyndon, the latest work of director Stanley Kubrick, is grand only in concept and length and in the outward apparel that hides an empty core.” –

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
93%
“There’s a thin line, it’s said, between genius and insanity. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a tragicomedy set in a mental institution, there’s no line at all. Every pretended madman is portrayed with cinematic genius.” –

Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)
