The Moonlight Awards: 1972
from The Moonlight Awards Hosted by Aaron Keck
Some years are easier than others. This time, we're tackling 1972, a year that has always been dominated by The Godfather. But while Brando and company are likely to take gold this time, it's still a fascinating battle for second - including a resurgence of European films, which had been lacking amidst the predominance of the New Hollywood movement. Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as they discuss the year in cinema, the greatest film scores, the craziest lead actors, the best musical numbers, and the ploddiest sci-fi flicks - and then we dig into the data and the numbers (and our expert panel votes) to identify the best film of 1972. The nominees are Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Cabaret, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, The Godfather, and Solaris. Who wins the Moonlight?
