I'll get on the Driller Killer train and back it. One of the top themes I can think of for the 70s is that it was the peak period of grindhouse cinema. I would have lobbied for one if we didn't already have a few in the list (TCM, Last house on the Left, the Hills Have Eyes, even the Exorcist was big in the grindhouses, but that film might have also shown up in regular theaters). However, I love the idea of adding one that's not as well-known. Also, as neverending mentioned, it has an art house quality that would add diversity to the list. It's a good movie and somewhat misunderstood due to its inclusion in the Video Nasties list, which was probably purely due to its cover art.
I'm keeping my vote for King Kong though. ;)
