Thanks. Yes, especially Fat City seems to be sadly underrated and rather little known, even among fans of John Huston. And the exploration of italian genre cinema is well worth the experience. Beside the maestros Mario Bava and Dario Argento I would recommend films like What have they done to your Daughters? or Hitch-Hike for a start into lesser known territories.

Yes, your new idea of best/favorite seems to be much closer to mine than your former concept was. And don't worry, I didn't include every film I enjoyed, if I had so, there probably would be quite a few hundered films more of this glorious decade on my list. 
But possibly I nevertheless kick out a few films soon.

Yeah, Deep End was great, though your expectations might be higher than mine were as I hadn't seen anything by Skolimowski before. But this one definitively made me curious about his other works. At the moment he seems to prepare an adaptation of Susan Sontags "In America" with Isabelle Huppert and Helen Mirren - sounds very promising.

In the meantime we've already discussed the two Tarkovskys personally (I was very impressed by both of them rather equally), and yes, there's definitively a lot to discover in cinema of the 70s and I will also continue my explorations. 

And don't say anything against the perhaps a bit strange, but wonderful music in Keoma.
