These five best picture winners from the 1970s include a satire, a feel-good boxing story, a tale of social angst, a Vietnam study, and a look at divorce.

The decade of the 1970s was a good one for filmmaking. These five movies help show why.

1975 Best Picture: One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest

1976 Best Picture: Rocky

1977 Best Picture: Annie Hall

1978 Best Picture: The Deer Hunter

1979 Best Picture: Kramer vs. Kramer

Although these five films are not as strong as the best pictures from the early half of the decade, they are still worth viewing.
