M.I.A. for 2008: Part 4, the 1970s

This decade has some curiously missing discs: Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Zabriskie Point, The Devils, Celine and Julie Go Boating, Roman Polanski's What?. I'm sure (other than for Ken Russell's The Devils which Warner has been "tweaking with" for years) there are valid explanations, but give us a break. I'll be the first to admit that the 70s will be the first decade where people should run screaming toward me with a pair of scissors... for I'm probably missing a bunch: especially Euro-horror and exploitation. So please, forgive, forget, and don't forget to keep adding to the list!
