Films of 1977
1977 was the most strange year of its era.
Across 51 well-known films, 1977 reads higher on strangeness than the decade around it — 48.7 against 43.3, a gap of 5.4. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
