Marathon Man (1976)

With one of the most cringe-inducing scenes in movie history (our teeth are quivering just thinking about it), Marathon Man’s tale of a grad student caught in a twisted web of international conspiracy, ex-Nazis, and stolen jewels still thrills audiences some 40 years after its original theatrical bow.

All the President’s Men (1976)

Though it lost the Best Picture Oscar to Rocky in one of the most stunning upsets in Academy history, this 1976 classic about Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein — who investigated the Watergate scandal in the run-up to Richard Nixon’s resignation — endures, as do the performances of Hoffman and Robert Redford.

Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
