=== 1970s === In [[Joseph Losey]]'s romantic drama ''[[The Go-Between (1971 film)|The Go-Between]]'' (1971), Christie had a lead role along with [[Alan Bates]]. The film won the [[Grand Prix du Festival International du Film|Grand Prix]], then the main award at the [[Cannes Film Festival]]. She earned a second Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role as a brothel [[Procuring (prostitution)|madam]] in [[Robert Altman]]'s postmodern western ''[[McCabe & Mrs. Miller]]'' (also 1971). The film was the first of three collaborations between Christie and [[Warren Beatty]], who described her as "the most beautiful and at the same time the most nervous person I had ever known".<ref name="divine"/> The couple had a high-profile but intermittent relationship between 1967 and 1974. After the relationship ended, they worked together again in the comedies ''[[Shampoo (film)|Shampoo]]'' (1975) and ''[[Heaven Can Wait (1978 film)|Heaven Can Wait]]'' (1978). Her other films during the decade were [[Nicolas Roeg]]'s thriller ''[[Don't Look Now]] '' (1973), based on a story by Daphne du Maurier, in which she co-starred with [[Donald Sutherland]], and the science-fiction/horror film ''[[Demon Seed]]'' (1977), based on the [[Demon Seed (novel)|novel of the same name]] by [[Dean Koontz]] and directed by [[Donald Cammell]]. ''Don't Look Now'' in particular has received acclaim, with Christie nominated for the [[BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role]], and in 2017 a poll of 150 actors, directors, writers, producers and critics for ''[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]]'' magazine ranked it the greatest British film ever.<ref name="Time Out">[https://www.timeout.com/london/film/100-best-british-films#tab_panel_4 "The 100 best British films"]. ''Time Out''. Retrieved 24 October 2017</ref> Christie returned to the United Kingdom in 1977, living on a farm in [[Wales]]. In 1979, she was a member of the jury at the [[29th Berlin International Film Festival]].<ref name="berlinale">{{cite web|url=http://www.berlinale.de/en/archiv/jahresarchive/1979/04_jury_1979/04_Jury_1979.html|title=Berlinale 1979: Juries|access-date=8 August 2010|work=berlinale.de}}</ref> Never a prolific actress, even at the height of her career, Christie turned down many high-profile film roles, including ''[[Anne of the Thousand Days]]'', ''[[They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (film)|They Shoot Horses, Don't They?]]'', ''[[Nicholas and Alexandra]]'', and ''[[Reds (film)|Reds]]'', all of which earned Oscar nominations for the actresses who eventually played them.<ref name="Julie Christie Biography at Yahoo!
