Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Don't Look Now (1973)

A couple lose a daughter to drowning. When they're later in Venice, a blind psychic claims to see their little girl laughing and happy between them. And then it gets even weirder.

There's a serial killer on the loose, alleyways that disappear, sex just this side of porn (Julie Christie is luminous while Sutherland comes off as lecherous), what seems to be a split timeline, and such dizzying camerawork that I could barely keep my lunch down. 

This is about as 70s as it gets but it landed on the side of "cheesy" rather than "groovy."
