The year 1973 in film involved some highly notable events.
As 2022 draws to a close, many film enthusiasts are already looking ahead to their most anticipated releases of 2023. However, it's also never too soon to start appreciating film anniversaries in the new year, and 2023 is chock-full of them.
"The Way We Were" centers on the unlikely coupling of political activist Katie and WASP-y traditionalist Hubbell . When the pair move to Hollywood after World War II so Hubbell can pursue screenwriting, he becomes worried that continued activism will threaten his career as the blacklist looms.

Finding himself amid a rebellion against a dystopian regime, Miles joins the rebellion and falls in love with local woman Luna . Allen's films have been viewed in a new, negative light following more recent accusations of molestation and sexual abuse against the director.- Runtime: 239 minutes The film was heavily re-edited due to conflicts between director Sam Peckinpah and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, causing it to receive lackluster reviews upon its initial release. However, the original edit was eventually released in the 1980s, leading to a critical reevaluation of "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid" as one of the director's best films.- Runtime: 110 minutes
His ex-partner, Charlie . "Magnum Force" received controversy in 1974, when real-life killers used a drain cleaner murder scene in the infamous Hi-Fi murders.- Runtime: 112 minutes "Jesus Christ Superstar" is a film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's famous Broadway rock opera of the same name, which follows the last weeks of Jesus Christ's life before he is ultimately betrayed by his disciple Judas .
"High Plains Drifter" was the first of many Clint Eastwood-directed Westerns. He also stars in the film playing a man known as "The Stranger," who is recruited to protect a small town from three dangerous outlaws. Eastwood drew plenty of inspiration from directors and former collaborators Sergio Leone and Don Siegel, although famous Western star John Wayne famously hated the film.
The film was notable at its time for its profanity, which included a number of F-word utterances that had rarely been seen before in cinema.- Runtime: 88 minutes In this playful satire of film noir, Elliott Gould plays private detective Philip Marlowe, who provides a favor for his old buddy Terry , only to learn that Terry's wife has recently been murdered. Around the same time, he becomes involved in another case involving Terry's former paramour Eileen .- Runtime: 102 minutes
Terrence Malick established himself as a major American film talent with "Badlands," the story of young lovers Holly and Kit , who go on a killing spree in the Badlands of Nebraska and Wyoming. "The Spirit of the Beehive" takes place in the wake of the Spanish Civil War, as a young girl in rural Spain becomes obsessed with 1931's "Frankenstein" and uses it to process the strife of her current reality. The movie has since been compared to Guillermo del Toro's contemporary films "The Devil's Backbone" and "Pan's Labyrinth," which also blend horror and history and are set during the Franco regime.
