I want to get some vintage 70's computing feeling by watching some good movies featuring computers (preferrably as a main part of the plot) with keyboards (computers without keyboards are so... boring) - but all I can think of at the moment are :
"Demon Seed" (about a computer that wants to screw Julie Christie... literally):
...and "Phase IV" (intelligent ants who know that mainframes need cooling):
I'm specifically looking for 70's movies (I know all about the 80's). I don't mind if the plot is stupid, as long as the movie is well filmed - to show off those 70's computers and keyboards.

Yes, I know that site. I didn't know that it had a "sort by year". That's handy.
But that site only deals with real computers - no terminals or "faked" computers. I'm interested in any well-filmed movie made in the 70's that has a computer (faked or not) with a keyboard.
...like "Alien", which you wouldn't find on that site:
