For the 60's, I think "Hair." It was political, it was racial, it was about peace and a generation that rebelled. Also, The Graduate and Planet of the Apes.

My pick for the 70's, Love Story, Poseidon Adventure, The Godfather, and how about something different like I am curious yellow?

around the Universe is a huge depiction of the 60's way of existence, in spite of the certainty which you may might desire to be versed interior this style of existence to appreciate alot of the references. while you're into analyzing then there are quite some books on the subject, The Pumphouse Gang, electric Kool help Acid try, and enormously plenty something via Kerouac.

Forrest Gump is by far the best 60's era movie I have seen. The Graduate is a good choice, too. The 70's, I don't know, I guess I was too stoned then, to remember.

Answer 6

The movie "Zodiac" about a serial killer in California actually did a very good job of capturing the 1970's. I was a kid during that time and I when I saw the movie, I was impressed at all the little details they got right--the way buses looked, commercials on the television, the kinds of cars people drove, and so on.
