1970 is the last year I will go back to, I just haven't seen enough movies prior to that time to give a fair ranking of them so I will be stopping here.  "M*A*S*H" is a very funny movie that covers a very serious subject, IMO it's easily the best movie of 1970.  "Patton" is a fantastic look at one of America's most revered war time military leaders.  "Kelly's Heroes" is yet another great war time movie, although it's really more of a caper film than a war movie.  "Rio Lobo" is a classic John Wayne western and that's a very good thing.  "Two Mules for Sister Sara" is yet another highly entertaining western from Clint Eastwood.  "Love Story" is perhaps the greatest movie love story ever made.  "Scrooge" is definitely one of the all time great Christmas movies ever made.  Jack Nicholson was great in "Five Easy Pieces".  "Tora! Tora! Tora!" is a fantastic look at the attack on Pearl Harbor.  "The Out of Towners" is a ton of fun.
