Four Decades of Best Pictures-- Part 1

From the March 3, 2014, Time Magazine "And the Winning Formula Is...:Four Decades of Best Picture, decoded" by Chris Wilson and Heather Jones.

They went through and analyzed every movie in 30 categories in theme, character, sex, violence, storytelling and setting. Quite interesting, but I am just going to list them:

1970-- Patton
1971-- The French Connection
1972-- The Godfather

1973-- The Sting
1974-- The Godfather Pt. 2
1975-- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

1978-- The Deer Hunter

1979-- Kramer Vs. Kramer
