They call the 1970s the "Golden Age of Hollywood" and I guess Siri has been feeling like a Golden Girl lately because this is the third out of the past four editions of our Siri Game that the voice inside my telephone has given me a digit in the 70s when I've asked her for a digit between 1 & 100. Today she gave me "71" and so today we'll be hitting up The Movies of 1971. And speaking of the "Golden Age of Hollywood" there really truly were some astonishing movies that came out in 1971. (Including a certain movie that's got a remake coming out this very weekend!) My personal picks are a little off-center because I am a little off-center, but the runners-up really do represent a pretty astonishing bunch of movies themselves.

I believe you might like "Death in Venice". It's an outstanding book and the movie was a very good adaption, IMO!
Mick -- it was playing here in NYC this past weekend and I totally intended to go see it but my schedule got messed up so I couldn't go. Still I very much intend to see it ASAP! I loved the book when I read it in college and I'm a big Visconti fan in general, so I think it's up my alley too :)
