Hell YES. I love 70s movies. Such an odd decade for films.
My list, comprised of films I feel didn't quite reach the status of 'Apocalypse Now,' 'Jaws,' 'The Excorcist,' 'Rocky,' or 'The Godfather':
Suspiria

• 1977 - Dario Argento
  Phantom of the Paradise
• 1974 - Brian De Palma
  A Clockwork Orange
• 1971 - Kubrick
  Close Encounters of the Third Kind
• 1977 - Spielberg
  Westworld
• 1973 - Michael Crichton
  Alien
• 1979 - Ridley Scott
  Wise Blood
• 1979 - John Huston
  Punishment Park
• 1971 - Peter Watkins
  Sorcerer
• 1977 - William Friedkin
  The Man Who Fell to Earth
• 1976 - Nicolas Roeg
  Hark! Harold the angel sings.

Good Calls! I like
Westworld
but often forget about it.
Sorcerer never really appealed to me and haven't seen
Wise Blood
or
Punishment Park
.
The Man Who Fell To Earth
I have to be in the mood to watch, but it is really an exceptional sci-fi film and very grounded and earthy like its title.

I've seen four movies on your list ("Suspiria", "Phantom of the Paradise", "A Clockwork Orange" and "Alien") and I like them all.

This one is one that tends to fly under the radar and is one I often forget to mention. It would in fact rate in my top 20 "high-concept" films, or top 20 dramas from the 70's:

Some good choices. Robert Wise though for
The Hindenburg
, I would consider more old school director. He wasn't a fresh new wave face on the 70's scene.

Nice list. Mine would probably have a lot of overlap.
