Vanishing Point (1971)
Directed by Richard C. Sarafian.
Starring Barry Newman and Cleavon Little.
IMDB
Not just for gearheads, Vanishing Point is one of those great thematic "death of the 60's" films which pits a final sub-culture hero against the law, driving himself and the rest of his generation into oblivion.
For a film based solely on a massive single car chase, this is surprisingly low-key and atmospheric. Be sure to watch the longer UK version (included on the recent DVD and Blu Ray discs) which adds a vital, melancholic scene which makes the ending much more understandable than the pure action U.S. version.
Makes for a great double-header with "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry" which is also available in a nice edition from Anchor Bay.

Double Bill! The Velvet Vampire (1971) w/ Scream Of The Demon Lover (1970)
Velvet Vampire
Directed by Stephanie Rothman.
Starring Michael Blodgett and Sherry Miles.
IMDB
Scream of the Demon Lover
Directed by José Luis Merino.
Starring Erna Schürer.
IMDB
A great double-feature trailer from two obscure early-70's cheapie horror films.
Scream of the Demon Lover was a European film called Ivanna brought into American distribution by Roger Corman's New World Pictures and Velvet Vampire is a largely forgotten American film produced by Charles Swartz who was the head of production at Corman's company.
I'm not sure of the origins of this trailer but seeing that they were both Corman entities, these two films were probably screened back to back at some drive-ins at the time.

Chain Gang Women (1971)
A fairly low-brow prison break movie with some misleading advertising. This is not a "women-in-prison" film, but as DVD Verdict states, a "bargain basement Cool Hand Luke". Lead actor Michael Stearns had a bit part in Battle For the Planet Of The Apes two years later.
Directed by Lee Frost.
Starring Michael Stearns.
