Why did the 70's have the best cinematography known to man?!?!?

I just watched Klute for the 1st time today and wanted to comment on the Cinematography as well. The 70's had very naturalistic cinematographer that is a little lost now. I love the look of both Godfathers, The Conversation, Marathon Man, All the President's Men etc.

Interesting thread. I like American movies from the seventies, I think it's the best period in American cinema. I've always felt that the seventies movies have a distinct look and feel, which is hard to describe (movies from other periods have their own looks). This special look could be partly due to cinematography. But it could also be in part due to the general look of these times. I mean the streets, buildings, clothes, hairstyles, cars - all these things change with history and this history is recorded in the movies. Naturally we would come to associate movies from a particular period with a distinct look.

Not only cinematography but the best all around,It was the most experimental film making.Things were invented in ways common today.Things in the 70's ( SOME) were stripped down to their Raw Organic reality.I think the best example are the early 70's work of Ken Russell.His use of nudity was not done as a giggly gimmick.
