The Moonlight Awards: 1973

It's 1973, and it's a rough time in world and U.S. history. The Vietnam War is still raging, there's a massive oil shortage, and crime is rampant - even in the White House. So it's no surprise that our top films of '73 share a sort of unease about the present, channeled into horror (The Exorcist) or cynicism (Mean Streets) or nostalgia for the past (American Graffiti). They have that much in common - but which one film best stands the test of time? 

Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as they discuss the year in cinema, emerging directors, awkward fight scenes, rock soundtracks, cursed productions, and the hotness (or lack thereof) of Donald Sutherland - and then we dig into the data and the numbers (and our expert panel votes) to identify the best film of 1973. 

The nominees are American Graffiti, Badlands, Don't Look Now, The Exorcist, and Mean Streets. Who wins the Moonlight?
