r nebraslcofi einlerloiorfiefiil doiu The best and worst of 73 Riding high on the waves of popular acceptance and having scored higher than .500 in our latest predictions, the Academy Awards, The Daily IMebraskan's sto;c duo, myself and Jim Gray, have decided to proclaim in our own mimitab!e style what the 10 best and the 10 worst mot on pictures to play in Lincoln were during this last school year. These difficult decisions were reached after hours of s'tt ng through both good and bad movies and the discussing of their positive and negative aspects over many a draught. Said Gray: "This school year could rightly be called "The Year of the Movie" in Lincoln, what with 12 new screens cropping up under our very noses. If for no other reason than sheer quantty, the movie fare had a chance of improving over recent years. loffij kubert what con I soy? "The most disappointing aspect of the Lincoln movie situation at present is that the theaters are still in a backlog of pictures which ran up before the screen expansion. Most of the recent high-quality movies aie still in Omaha. Hopefully, by next fall, Lincoln won't be Omaha's cinematic handmaiden anymore." But enough dilly-dallmg, as everyone is waiting breathlessly, "the envelope please." The 10 best first run movies to appear in Lincoln during this school year, weighing equally both our esteemed opinions, aie: - Godfather 2- Cabaret 3- Sleuth 4Deliverance 5 Steelyard Blues 6- The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoise 7- Lady Sings the Blues 8- Jeremiah Johnson 9- Fiddler on the Roof 10- Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean? Placing just below our high-power top 10 were The Ruling Class, Butterflies Are Free, Slaughterhouse Five, The Other, The Heartbreak Kid and Sounder. Now for the baddies, the worst film to the best of the worst: 1- 1776 2- Up the Sandbox 3 Pete 'n Tillie 4- Frit the Cat 5- The Great Waltz 6- B I acuta 7 Portnoy's Complaint 8- The Darwin Adventure 9- Oh, Calcutta' 10- The Candidate Running close to the bottom were Bluebeard, Elvis on Tour, Shamus, The Poseidon Adventure, Jory and The Valachi Papers. They just weren't quite bad enough to make the big 10 list. All in all, it was a pretty representative year, movie-wise. The bad movies were bad, but the good ones more than made up for them. And then too, those draughts helped immeasurably.
