20 From 73: My Favorite Films of 1973 (20 movies items)

" You know what goes really well with Solyent Green? Fava beans & a nice bottle of chianti. Charlton Heston, Chuck Connors & Edward G. Robinson (in his last film role) star in this solemn dystopian story that provides yet another chapter into the science fiction world's most famous and ultimate cookbook, "How To Serve Man"."
