Essentials by Decade: The 1970s The 1970s were as tumultuous in film as they were in America. The cinematic innovations of the late-'60s continued, but were fueled by a distrust of government and institutions. By the end of the decade, however, a new generation of creative talent--raised on an entirely different culture of entertainment--made blockbusters the new face of Hollywood.

I think one of the great characters was the Marquise De Merteuil in Dangerous Liaisons. Truthfully every movie, even the ones that weren't so much fun, have informed me tremendously. And each one represents some real learning experience of some sort. It's a great luxury to be an actor to be able to explore so many landscapes of human behavior. --Glenn Close›More essentials Justin Timberlake in The Open Road![The Open Road [Blu-ray]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/P/B002PB4I50.01._SL75_PE43_OU01_SCLZZZZZZZ_V229863761_.jpg)
