Actually, my other big hobby is movies. I spend quite a bit of time onlne "geeking out" at movie websites and all on them seem to agree - and these are some SERIOUS movie buffs - that the period from about 1968 (end of the Hays Code) until about 1985 (PG-13 rating introduced) was and is unparalleled in violence and sex.
The consensus is that the top 5 most violent films ever were made from 1975-1985.

While the top 5 most violent movies may have played America, I doubt that they were made here. As extreme as American exploitation cinema got in the 1970s, Europe was even more extreme (what with mondo documentaries, Emanuelle In America, They Call Her One Eye, et al)
