Best Movies of 1975
Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.
SholayThe film that taught Hindi cinema how to build a villain, and fifty years later nothing has topped Gabbar Singh.Read the review
JawsThe film that invented the summer blockbuster is also a lean, funny, superbly acted suspense picture that has not aged a day.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's NestNicholson at full voltage against Louise Fletcher's flat, unbothered institutional calm.
Barry LyndonPainted light, candlelit interiors shot on a lens built for the moon, and a hero worth nothing.
Monty Python and the Holy GrailLess a film than a string of sketches in chain mail, but the Black Knight, the French taunter and the Knights Who Say Ni are comedy scripture.
