I have now viewed 40 films that were released in 1972. A list can be found here. I saw a lot of good to great movies and am satisfied to move on to the riches of 1973. From the 1001 Movies List, I did not revisit Deliverance or Last Tango in Paris, both of which I have seen at least once before. My Favorites List is in no particular order, though the first three are the films that got a 10/10 from me. Nine out of ten are from the List, which may be a first.
Cabaret – directed by Bob Fosse
The Godfather – directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Cries and Whispers – directed by Ingmar Bergman
The Mattei Affair – directed by Francesco Rosi
Fat City – directed by John Huston
The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant – directed by Ranier Werner Fassbinder
The Harder They Come – directed by Perry Henzell
Aguirre, the Wrath of God – directed by Werner Herzog
Sleuth – directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie – Directed by Luis Buñuel
