These Oscar winning best pictures from 1970 to 1974 included a war movie, a buddy-cops film, one featuring an elaborate scam, and the two best gangster movies ever made.

Often featuring larger than life characters, these five films are evidence that the decade was one of excellent filmmaking.

1970 Best Picture: Patton

1971 Best Picture: The French Connection

1972 Best Picture: The Godfather

1973 Best Picture: The Sting

1974 Best Picture: The Godfather: Part II

These five excellent films were nearly matched by those from the later 1970s.
