Due to it being followed by one of the greatest 6 year stretches in film history I've really overlooked 1973. So much still left to see that's great from this year....but at the same time there's much I like from this year that I have seen.

1. Enter The Dragon
2. The Long Goodbye
3. The Day of the Jackal
4. High Plains Drifter
5. Black Caesar
===================
6. Live and Let Die
7. Magnum Force
8. Horror Express
9. Save The Tiger
10. Soylent Green

HM: Hell Up In Harlem and Robin Hood

PS: Oh and Westworld and Charlie Varrick are good films as well, although I don't really remember either one with crystel clarrity.
