At the risk of sounding like an old curmudgeon, the overall quality and variety of films made in 1973 puts recent years to shame. I'm not alone with this opinion, either. It should come as no surprise that many films from 1973 have been celebrating their fiftieth anniversary via national events at the cinema and expensive home format releases.
Some of these films are regarded as masterpieces amongst chin-stroking cinephiles, while others are considered cult classics to genre afficionados; what's more important is the fact that they're invaluable entertainment for your host:
Only film I copped during the fiftieth anniversary celebrations was Messiah of Evil as it finally got a proper release in my country. The whole design of this blog takes obvious style inspiration from the film:

A year so magical even Terrence Malick somehow managed to make a great movie.
Is the banner up top from Messiah Of Evil?
Only other Malick film I've seen is Knight of Cups. Felt a two hour cologne ad.
Yes, the banner is from the movie theatre scene from Messiah of Evil.There are some decent uploads of the film on YouTube which are in better in quality than the grainy 4:3 version currently available on Plex.
Cheers.
If only Ithithkle were browsing these comments to defend his boy Malick.
Would rather face the wrath of the Ithe Man than Greg's rebirth as a Letterboxd reviewer. No way a bloke writes this stuff. ��
😂 what a wet lettuce.
It's like the pod people have taken over.
Unrelated: I finished watching the Dalek Invasion Earth storyline. Found it funny how Susan was left behind to live in a post-apocalyptic world by The Doctor.
Iconic moment. Carole Ann Ford was sick of being being given nothing to do except scream and run so she decided to leave the show. She had a point tbf since they dialed her character back after the first episode where she's basically the focal point.
I watched the two-parter The Rescue and Susan's replacement appears to be Vikki, who seems a bit more interesting being from the 25th century. I'm hoping for Ian and Barbara to scarper soon as they look a bit bored half the time. Looking forward to Blue Peter's Peter Purves being on the show.
Did you watch Planet Of Giants? That's a bit of a deep cut personal fave story from that season.
Avoid The Web Planet from that particular season.
Skipped Planet of Giants. Went from Reign of Terror to Daleks Invasion Earth to The Rescue. Probably go the The Time Meddler like you suggested before checking out The Tenth Planet.
🙏 Now that's a Good Combination™.
Technically did end up seeing Napolean last month on account of that Reign of Terror story arc.
