I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

I've seen these four, and parts of Enter the Dragon, which I thought was silly, since why would a mob fight someone one on one? Plus Bruce Lee used to be the go-to guy when it came for picking apart a fighting style that would not have worked in real situations. All I know is that's what the guys good enough at hand to hand combat to teach classes in it said to us anyway. One went so far as to tell us: "Any good street fighter would have had Lee on the pavement in seconds." I guess Bruce Lee was a fantasy figure though, so the instructor was probably being a jackass.

1. The Exorcist (1973)
3. American Graffiti (1973)
4. The Wicker Man (1973)
5. Westworld (1973)

Cool choice, though I see it listed as 1975.

Okay, that's weird. All other sources list it as a 1975 release, but the Wiki page for 1973 films has it in the alphabetical list. I just took that from the 1973 page and my memories.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_in_film

But if you Google for 'hugo the hippo 1973' a number of sites appear which state it is from that year. Even weirder.
