@@smith1958b I only gave it ***. I did nominate it for Best Supporting Actor (Ernest Borgnine) and Best Song "A Man And A Train" sung by Marty Robbins. I also didn't mention other good *** movies including: Charley Varrick, Coffy, Cops And Robbers, The Day Of The Dolphin, A Delicate Balance (UK-Canada-US), A Doll's House (UK) (Claire Bloom version), Electra Glide In Blue, Gordon's War, Heavy Traffic, High Plains Drifter, The Homecoming (UK-US), Kid Blue, Lolly-Madonna XXX (aka: Lolly-Madonna War) (aka: Fire In The Meadow), The Mack, The Optimists (UK) (with Peter Sellers), Papillon, Shamus, Slither, PLUS other Academy Award nominated documentary's and short subjects and other movies I've not seen...So It Goes...
What a great list. A true international cinephile. I hope to check some of the things I have not seen or heard of. We do have one issue. You put the Three Musketeers under guilty pleasure and it's a unique masterful tour de force. So Now I have to challenge you to a dual. Noon o'clock in the courtyard of a convent.
excellent comprehensive list, but I would also like to mention 2 films starring Walter Matthau: 1. Charley Varrick (Walter has an affair with Felicia Farr, his buddy Jack Lemmon's real life wife) 2. The Laughing Policeman
1973 was a memorable year for me as a teenager. List is in particular order: - The Holy Mountain - American Graffiti - The Outfit - Soylent Green - Fantastic Planet - Amarcord - Day for Night - Paper Moon - Scenes from a Marriage - Serpico - The Sting - Enter the Dragon - O Lucky Nan! - The Exorcist - Lady Snowblood - Badlands - Mean Streets - The Day of the Jackal - The Three Musketeers - Westworld - The Paper Chase - The Iceman Cometh - The Long Goodbye - The Last Detail - The Seven-Ups - The Wicker Man - Don’t Look Now - Blume in Love - The Friends of Eddie Coyle - Walking Tall - Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid - Magnum Force - The Big Feast - The Golden Voyage of Sinbad
i like this top 20 movies of 1973. On July 13, 1973, I was born five weeks. Premature because I was such a large baby boy. And I was born cesarean. And my late mother was so happy! Too bad heart disease caused my mother to die. On August 25, 1991 from Heart Problems, I cried really hard that day!
My favorite Woody Allen film (Sleeper), my favorite James Bond film (Live And Let Die), and my favorite Dirty Harry film (Magnum Force) all came out in 1973.
Enthusiastically agree on Don't Look Now as #1. It's one of the best, most intelligent horror films, full stop. Re The Exorcist: for all the younglings out there, the spiderwalk wasn't in it until one of the extended/director's cuts in the early 2000s. Tbh, I can see why it was originally cut, because it is pretty cheesy.
Wow it took way to long for your channel to cross my feed. I’m subscribed to quite a few movie list type channels and I think yours ranks up there with Ghost Pirate Entertainment. I’m going to watch Don’t Look Now just for the perms

73 had three heavy hitters for horror. I just saw Wicker Man and Dont Look Now for the first time recently. Both phenomenal but neither as good as the Exorcist.
some of the films made then that i appreciated could be el espiritu de la colmena, electra glide in blue, the hourglass sanytorium, scenes from a marriage, scarecrow, la societe du spectacle, amarcord, friends of eddie coyle .. you did a herzog! or was it ´72? ha regards!
I remember being in back of the station wagon with my parents upfront while I would watch all the other movies while listening to the one we were watching, in Oceanside ca, and San Diego. What memories!!!
ElectraGlide In Blue starring Robert Blake is in my Top 10 as well as Save The Tiger starring Jack Lemmon. Bang The Drum Slowly starring Robert DeNiro is excellent
I recognize the music that is playing during your review of Badlands. It's from True Romance. I don't normally recognize things like that but that song always stuck in my head. I'm not sure if it's originally from something else or not but I definitely heard it in True Romance. 1973 may be the best movie year ever.

It’s quite funny to see how many of these movies are remakes. I had no idea that the wicker man was a repeat, I can’t believe they would want to make it twice!!!
Back again on this awesome channel to ask you if you’ve seen this or that, can you blame me? You have good taste. Ever seen Gang War in Milan, Il Boss or Torso? I bet you’ve seen Torso, quite well known amongst Italian film and Horror fans. If so, thoughts?
My top 6 all in my 200 films of all time are: 6 Magnum Force 5 Carry On Girls 4 Papillon 3 Columbo: Any Old Port In A Storm 2 The Excorcist 1 Live And Let Die
Also in 1973 : - The Mother and the Whore (Jean Eustache) - Scarecrow (Jerry Schatzberg) - The Spirit of the Beehive (Víctor Erice) - Fantastic Planet (René Laloux) - Breezy (Clint Eastwood)
I almost thought you were going to forget “La Grande Bouffe” can you believe my dad took me to see this in the theater when I was nine years old?? talk about inappropriate
I remember watching the Exorsist when I was 8 when it came out on TV, I was terrified. At the time my mother and father had split up and my mother and grandmother and I moved to Sacramento. When I had to sleep with my mom because I was so scared I thought “Oh No, This only happens to girls, and I was sleeping between my mom and grandmother, needless to say I didn’t sleep that night!!
,, I agree with yr choices 🎉 and recently discovered a film I'd never heard of before Scarecrow (1973) w Pacino & Hackman,, I'm about half way thru,, it's tricky it's great it's summink else and it's pretty fonny 😅😂❤
1973 was my first full year in college, so I remember many of these movies. I don't share your taste for bloody killings and lesser known horror films. You omitted Sleeper, but otherwise a good list.
Weird list. You left off Charley Varrick, one of Walter Matthau's best roles. Also Papillon with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. I would include Jesus Christ Superstar. Bang the Drum Slowly. Dillinger. The Friends of Eddie Coyle. High Plains Drifter. Save the Tiger won an Oscar for Jack Lemmon. Woody Allen's Sleeper. The Way We Were.
Don't let the low viewcount discourage you man, this is a great and very entertaining channel.

Le cinéma des ces années était très brillant.
On ne pense pas à tous les films.
It’s quite funny to see how many of these movies are remakes. I had no idea that the wicker man was a repeat, I can’t believe they would want to make it twice!!!
Back again on this awesome channel to ask you if you’ve seen this or that, can you blame me? You have good taste. Ever seen Gang War in Milan, Il Boss or Torso? I bet you’ve seen Torso, quite well known amongst Italian film and Horror fans. If so, thoughts?
My Favorites From 1973 Are:
•High Plains Drifter
•Enter the Dragon
•The Sting
•Westworld
•The Long Goodbye
•The Wicker Man
The year of the most adorable human in America.
Luci Christian.
I have to put SERPICO higher up, but I don't have any other suggestions. You know what the good stuff is.
My top 6 all in my 200 films of all time are:
6 Magnum Force
5 Carry On Girls
4 Papillon
3 Columbo: Any Old Port In A Storm
2 The Excorcist
1 Live And Let Die
Odd that you would place Any Old Port In A Storm in your list. That happens to be my favorite Columbo episode.
Also in 1973 :
- The Mother and the Whore (Jean Eustache)
- Scarecrow (Jerry Schatzberg)
- The Spirit of the Beehive (Víctor Erice)
- Fantastic Planet (René Laloux)
- Breezy (Clint Eastwood)
Good grief, I had forgotten what a banner year 1973 was.
Thank you for logging my memory.
Great video, but.... Jesus Christ Superstar!
I almost thought you were going to forget “La Grande Bouffe” can you believe my dad took me to see this in the theater when I was nine years old?? talk about inappropriate

When I had to sleep with my mom because I was so scared I thought “Oh No, This only happens to girls, and I was sleeping between my mom and grandmother, needless to say I didn’t sleep that night!!
O Lucky Man would be in my 1973 Top 20. some really unnerving scenes.
Number 14 got you a new subscriber 😂
Did you ever see “The Last of Sheila”, also from 1973? It’s a great film.
The
Friends
of
Eddie
Coyle.
Watch
it.
Now.
,, I agree with yr choices 🎉 and recently discovered a film I'd never heard of before
Scarecrow (1973) w Pacino & Hackman,, I'm about half way thru,, it's tricky it's great it's summink else and it's pretty fonny 😅😂❤
La grand bounce is a classic.
1973 was my first full year in college, so I remember many of these movies. I don't share your taste for bloody killings and lesser known horror films. You omitted Sleeper, but otherwise a good list.
Also did you like the Enter the Dragon theme song? I thought it was badass
The Opium Trail aka Deadly China Doll
Angela Maos' first lead.
Serpico
The Sting
Serpico, or as Mad Magazine called it, Serpicool.
Weird list. You left off Charley Varrick, one of Walter Matthau's best roles. Also Papillon with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. I would include Jesus Christ Superstar. Bang the Drum Slowly. Dillinger. The Friends of Eddie Coyle. High Plains Drifter. Save the Tiger won an Oscar for Jack Lemmon. Woody Allen's Sleeper. The Way We Were.
12:45 "From shit, to vomit!"
U should TOP 21 :)
Don’t agree on your Raymond Chandler pick. I’ll take Bogey or Mitchel every time.
No last of Sheila??? JAMES MASON voice?? Also friends of Eddie Doyle robbed
if you couldn´t do a top 10 list i couldn´t do a top 20 xD
Did he really call the characters from American Graffiti, Privileged White Kids?
I know, awful.
Good list! But sitting there sipping booze looks immature
Excuse me but…where’s Amarcord???!!! It’s probably the best movie of the best filmmaker of all history, the great Federico Fellini!!!
Harvey Keitel is not in Good fellows either
