Tough one this so many to choose from but as I can only pick one.
The French Connection. Gene Hackmans finest hour.
Have to admit it's a bloody good film with probably the best ever film car chase.
Not sure what mine would be.
The Warriors deserves a mention.
serpico
agree on the warriors
Probably The Godfather, but still:
Impossible to choose, too many top movies. Taxi Driver just being one of my favs, but then so are Deer Hunter, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Dog Day Afternoon.
How could I pick just one?
For late night viewing - I'd choose...
"Vanishing Point"
( but I always had a soft spot for Petrocelli and root beer)
Vanishing Point
Oooh good call.
Oh tricky, Catch 22 or Enter the Dragon are certainly films I can rewatch so I guess one of those.
I was gong to go with Bullit but that was 68 so Apocalypse Now for me.
reading this list though made me think I could choose any of the on a different day.

Vanishing point was great but I preferred Two Lane Blacktop.
Alien, but there are a lot of great films on that list.
I couldn't pick just one film,but Thunderbolt & Lightfoot,Jaws,Apocalypse now,One flew over the cuckoo's nest any of those take your pick.
I was going to say Easy rider and then I found out it was 1969. Its probably Alien, Jaws, Apocalypse Now or Taxi Driver.
Oooh! Deliverance!
Dirty Harry.
Airplane
So predictable, but utterly engaging..
I was quite taken by Histoire d'O as a young man...
The French Connection. Gene Hackmans finest hour.
Tough one, but The Conversation edges it for me, especially if you're not not familiar with the plot.
Best decade for films, soo many classics.
A Golden age of cinema
Silent Running would be up there.
Was going to suggest the Wild Bunch but that was 69
