Don’t worry, we have plenty of time to submit our films of 1972, given the final stretch of awards season hotter than ever. But it’s nice to get a headstart. As before with the likes of 1988 and 1993, you get to vote for a multitude of fine films from that elusive third year of the 1970s. And then we’ll tally the bundles of choices and determine our very own top 50 films of 1972.
The process is easy enough. Get your thinking caps on, dig out your movie lists, scour the internet, get those films of 1972 down on the form below. Write as a list downwards or use commas, whatever. Just get them down. Feel free to link to previously assembled lists via websites like Letterboxd. Here are some other useful links to assist you:

The deadline for submitting the votes is the end of Friday 8th April 2022. There’ll be plenty of reminders and discussion in the meantime. Let’s go!
