Why do you think so many people are fascinated with the 70's?

It seems that whenever there's a movie made, being set in the 70's, people tend to adore them. Some of my favorite films set during the 70's include Boogie Nights, The Ice Storm, the Zodiac movie, Dead Presidents, Anchorman, Remember the Titans, even the second season of Fargo. What are some of your favorite films set during the 70's?

I think because the 70s represents grittiness and raw originality. It's present enough (dissimilar to 40s-50s as opposed to the 2010s). & the urban films of that decade are closer to today's standards than the 60s or earlier decades. Yet it's far back enough before rampant tech with PCs or cellphones introduced in the 80s and common by the 90s.
