1970 is a transition year for world history, and the movies are no different. With the studio system era in the rear view mirror and the French New Wave past its peak, the dawn of the 70s brings a whole new generation of filmmakers to center stage. For the second year in a row, the year's top films are all made by directors we've not yet encountered - though in a couple cases, we'll encounter those directors again, and again. But which one film best stands the test of time?
Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as they discuss the year in film, the New Hollywood movement, the Rolling Stones, and the cinematic genius of Omar Bradley - and then we dig into the data and the numbers (and our expert panel votes) to identify the best film of 1970.
The nominees are The Conformist, Five Easy Pieces, Gimme Shelter, MASH, and Patton. Who wins the Moonlight?
