That's true; they're grittier or something...and also I think, there were a lot of "cheap" movies back then that utilized fewer sets, and the sets that were built were sort of cobbled together from existing stuff...and there was a tendency to shoot a lot of films in sunlight, also because it was cheaper. As a result, 70's films have a stronger sense of "reality" and seem to convey things "as they were" then, and not so much as something somebody built. When I pop in a 70's movie, I generally look forward to a "real" experience, sort of, and it's very bracing somehow, like a splash of cold water in the face.
