I mean, like movies with strong violence that have been hailed as an achievement, such as "Taxi Driver" and "Oldboy". movies like that.

For Best Picture 1970-1989 would be The Godfather (1972), The Deer Hunter (1978), and of course Platoon (1986). Those three alone are beyond achievements.
For Writing, The Exorcist won in 1973, that's amazing. Midnight Express (1978) fits your bill as well. Quite a ground breaker and a fantastic movie!
I could go on and on and on, but you can check it out too...

Fargo was pretty gruesome too! A guy getting shredded in a wood chipper cant go unlooked as a violent movie, despite it not being classified as a violent movie! Braveheart had some strong violence as does Gladiator! Pulp Fiction achieved most of its violence by getting away with it through comedy, LOL! A guy getting his head blown off is pretty gruesome but seeing Julius and Vincent fight over who is going to clean up the bits of brain is hysterical!!!

I can't believe that no one's mentioned "A Clockwork Orange" yet! It is the film based on the book that coined the term 'ultraviolence' after all! "Apocalypse Now", "The Godfather Parts I and II", and "The Killing Fields" also come to mind. If you're the mood for some non-English fair, throw in "Ran" and "The Tin Drum" as well.

Add 'Scarface' to the list. 'Passion Of The Christ'. And the ORIGINAL 'Walking Tall'. Very sad & bloody.
