There are several movies from 1973 that I like and respect, but only a few movies that I consider among my favorites.

My Favorite 1973 Movies:
Bang the Drum Slowly

These two movies are favorites more for the music than the movie itself:
Jonathan Livingston Seagull
American Graffiti

1. Papillon
2. The Long Goodbye
3. The Hourglass Sanatorium
4. Day for Night
5. The Holy Mountain
6. Frankenstein: The True Story
7. The Exorcist
8. F for Fake
9. Lisa and the Devil
10. High Plains Drifter

And the correct answer was....

Re: Favorite Movies of 1973?
 

Maybe not be my Top, but both The Wicker Man and Belladonna of Sadness are so unique that I think are a "must watch" for any cinephile.

Definitely Spirit of the Beehive, which is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I also love Badlands, The Holy Mountain, The Exorcist and Serpico.
I still haven't seen The Long Goodbye. I need to get on that.

In no particular order:

Badlands
Don't Look Now
The Exorcist
F for Fake
The Mother and the Whore
The Spirit of the Beehive
Westworld

The Wicker Man

I've never been very good at keeping tabs and lists, but just from the hip...


1. The Last Detail
2. Mean Streets
3. The Exorcist
4. Badlands
5. The Long Goobye
6. The Wicker Man
7. Pat Garrett/Billy the Kid (dc)
8. Paper Moon
9. Serpico
10. American Graffiti



I'm sure I'm missing several.

(Looking at other lists)


For some reason, I thought F For Fake was '74.


I'll have to squeeze that on there along with oversights Don't Look Now, Holy Mountain, Belladonna, Beehive, Day For Night, urgh....
