1973 - The Sting: "If this thing blows up, the Feds are the least of our problems"


1973 Best Picture Winner

Premiered December 25, 1973 in New York & Hollywood

Budget $5.5 Million

Gross $159.6 Million

If this movie would have come out in 1970 or 1971, it would have gotten 3 popcorn bags. However, The Godfather would make just about any movie look pedestrian. This was a well done movie that had fun twist and turns. We were kept guessing until the very end. 

Joel
Favorite: It had the most plot twists and turns of any movie so far.
Least Favorite: I was not a big fan of the titles that set up each section of the film. 

Callie
Favorite: The twist at the end of the movie.
Least Favorite: It seemed a little hokey and cheesy at times.
