It should be against the law to use 'LOL'; unless you really did LOL!
it took FOUR pages for Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon to be mentioned??!
For shame.
The Outfit (1973) Robert Duvall's name is Earl Macklin. Great name for a criminal.
shareBloody Mama (1970)
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
Straight Time (1978) Dustin Hoffman. This is a must-see if you haven't seen it.

I do not consider the Godfather films in this category because the stories do not take place in the 70s. Obviously 2 of the best films ever made.
Did not see Mean Streets on any list.
Here is my list of favorite crime films from the 70s.
1. The friends of Eddie Coyle
2. The French connection
3. Seven ups(Criminally underrated and little known)
4. THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123
5. Mean streets
6. Chinatown
I want to recommend checking out some free movie streaming sites. SFlix.com where all of these films are available.
