60's movies were sometimes at a loss for who the lead actors were and all seem to be supporting actors or actress. These are my favorite movies. May I please have some money and a time machine to make this one : )

Wow, seti, seems like you had that one all planned out already!  I need to think a bit on this...

Some of my favorite actors from the 70s are Meryl Streep, Maximilian Schell, young Jodie Foster, Charlton Heston, and Timothy Bottoms.  

Genre would have to be drama, I'm at a loss for a plot.  I'm envisioning German immigrants (Schell and Streep) with a young daughter (Foster), some kind of oppression involving an evil boss/landlord (Heston), and a hero (Bottoms).  Maybe.  :)

Cool topic!!

Thanks but that was on the fly. I have an overactive imagination or it is the steroids I'm taking. I fell into a poison oak patch over the weekend. itchy itchy.

OK. Here's mine:

genre: Road Movie.

A guy, his best friend, and his girlfriend hit the highway to take an unknown package from San Francisco to New Orleans in two days. If they succeed they will be payed $50,000.

protagonist: Jack Nicholson (circa Five Easy Pieces)

love interest: Cybill Shepherd (circa Taxi Driver)

supporting: Jason Robards (circa The Ballad of Cable Hogue)

antagonist: Warren Oates (circa Two Lane Blacktop)

gas station attendant: Robert DuVall (circa The Killer Elite)

hotel clerk: Orson Welles (circa F is for Fake)

hotel room neighbor: Dennis Hopper (circa Apocalypse Now)

exotic silent hitchhiker: Ali McGraw (circa The Getaway)

Wow, your knowledge of 70s movies clearly trumps all, but here goes.

genre: conspiracy movie (seems like it permeates lots of 70s movies). I'm thinking Bergman is an ambassador in Washington, Nicholson and Cazale are federal agents. Fonda is a journalist, Streep a love interest (former for Nicholson, present for Cazale).

Some dark comedy, lots of great, understated turmoil, a gradually disfigured reality develops through the movie, etc.

leads: Nicholson & Jane Fonda; they were never in a movie together, but I feel like it would fit; plus, she won a couple oscars, probably a bit of a forgotten career

supporting: young Meryl Streep (coming into her own) and John Cazale (he shows up in consistently great films); plus, he and Streep were engaged, and she kept him in the Deer Hunter

cameo: Ingrid Bergman (she showed up in some good stuff -- I like Autumn Sonata, and...)

(Seriously, Murder on the Orient Express has probably the best answer to this post. it was always a favorite Sunday afternoon movie of mine growing up, and I'll stand behind it. Plus, that cast! It's such a great concept, Lumet directing, and it never gets brought up for best ensembles.)

To trump all... maybe someday. Great list. I still need to see MotOE.
