Quatermass mini series
Tomorrow People
UFO
Sapphire and Steel

Blake's 7! How ace was that. And Space 1999. Spent many happy hours watching those two.

Mad Max
How about:
The Man Who Fell to Earth
Phase IV
Solaris
Superman
Meteor
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
How about Star Trek; The Motion Picture.
Doh
ST:TMP-sorry, but how boring was that. 20 minutes floating round the Enterprise in dry dock to show how nice it looks. Good storyline (but how many times had it been done in the original series?). At least it kicked the franchise back in to life, for good and bad.
PotA and Beneath... were both 60s I'm pretty sure. I'm sure there must be more I can't think of. Daemon Seed was late 70's I think.
I hang my sci fi cred head in shame as I can't think of any more. Though maybe there weren't many more. I remember the 70s as a time when there was a lot of talk of cinema being dead and the number of new films being nothing like the number we get today. I used to panic as from my early teens I've been a bit of a film going geek (of all sorts).
