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
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
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.
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?
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.
Pretty good list. Maybe some honorable mentions to 1) Charly Varrick 2) Papillion 3) Electra Glide in Blue 4) Friends of Eddie Coyle, list goes on... 70's were an amazing decade for films, breaking all the former rules and barriers, as the Studios lost their veto powers over creative directors and writers.
My Top 10: 10. The Last Detail 9. Badlands 8. The Way We Were 7. Mean Streets 6. Torso 5. The Exorcist 4. Live and Let Die 3. Sleeper 2. Enter the Dragon 1. The Wicker Man
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!!!
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)
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!
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.
My Top 10 1.Mean Streets 2. American Graffiti 3. The Last Detail 4.Serpico 5. Enter The Dragon 6. Badlands 7. Jesus Christ Superstar 8. Heavy Traffic 9. The Mack 10. The Exorcist
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
My Top 20 Favourites of 1973: (20) The Mackintosh Man (19) Carry On Girls (18) The Wicker Man (17) The Mad Adventures Of Rabbi Jacob (16) Holiday On The Buses (15) Magnum Force (14) The Seven Ups (13) My Name Is Nobody (12) The Friends Of Eddie Coyle (11) Badlands (10) The Exorcist (9) Enter The Dragon (8) Steptoe And Son Ride Again (7) Mean Streets (6) White Lightning (5) American Graffiti (4) The Sting (3) The Olsen Gang Goes Crazy (2) High Plains Drifter (1) Papillon
@strooomon it's based on the 1962 to 1974 British sitcom about father and son junk collectors Albert and Harold Steptoe, its very well written and the 2 movies Steptoe And Son 1972 and Steptoe And Son Ride Again 1973 are the best movies based on a sitcom.
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.
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 recall seeing The Day of The Jackal at the Natick Drive In with my parents. IT was the opener for Pete and Tillie. It blew our minds. I have The Long Goodbye is my number 2 of all time. Obviously, I believe you have it far too low. ALso, I can borrowa blurb from The Real Paper. Robert DeNiros goofy, manic Johnny Boy is brilliant but no more so than Harvey Keitel's small time mafia middle man, caught in a crossfire of conflicting loyalties. I disagree with both. I thought both were great but Keitels had more nuance. Great list. Both Dont Look Now and Walkabout were 2 films that had long long discussions post viewing. Thanks for sharing
My 20 for 1973 - another top top year 20. La Grande Bouffe 19. The Long Goodbye 18. The Day of The Dolphin 17. Scarecrow 16. The Last Detail 15. American Graffiti 14. Charley Varrick 13. The Wicker Man 12. The Sting 11. The Exorcist 10. Paper Moon 9. Serpico 8. Mean Streets 7. Don't Look Now 6. Day For Night 5. O Lucky Man 4. Amarcord 3. Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid 2. The Spirit of The Beehive NUMBER ONE: BADLANDS
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.
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!!!
,, 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 😅😂❤
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
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!!
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.
Possibly a pinnacle year for film production. As ever, a great list. I love this channel.
Don't let the low viewcount discourage you man, this is a great and very entertaining channel.
how do u know his discouraged

All the movies above are 3 star movies. For some reason when I type *'s, it only goes up to 2**'s
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
Many thanks for your great movie list. Best wishes from Finland.
Great list. My favorite films from 1973 has to go to Fantastic Planet. A pretty surreal French animated film that isn't brought up enough.
I was 5 years old. I’ve done this before but didn’t see your videos but I am very impressed. With your views on the pictures.
Great work..I think the 70s was the apex of humanity
Would sometime like to see your all time films.

Thanks for the video. I graduated from high school in '73. You did miss one though, Pappion, with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman.

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 did you like the Enter the Dragon theme song? I thought it was badass
12:45 "From shit, to vomit!"
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
That "American Graffiti" is only an honorable mention is, well, surprising.
Serpico, or as Mad Magazine called it, Serpicool.
Serpico
The Sting
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!!
Did you ever see “The Last of Sheila”, also from 1973? It’s a great film.
The year of the most adorable human in America.
Luci Christian.
9:07 "...who falls in love with a psychopathic sociopath." I think he's more of a sociopathic psychopath.
Great video, but.... Jesus Christ Superstar!
Would you believe "Don't Look Now" was based on a story by Daphne duMaurier, the author of "Rebecca?"
O Lucky Man would be in my 1973 Top 20. some really unnerving scenes.
The Opium Trail aka Deadly China Doll
Angela Maos' first lead.
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.
The
Friends
of
Eddie
Coyle.
Watch
it.
Now.
if you couldn´t do a top 10 list i couldn´t do a top 20 xD
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
Good list! But sitting there sipping booze looks immature
Did he really call the characters from American Graffiti, Privileged White Kids?
I know, awful.
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
