Fun fact: for every year from 1930 to 2009, there's at least one movie that shows up on at least one well-known critics' list of the "100 greatest films of all time." Every year with one exception, that is: 1947. You could argue that this is the worst year ever for motion pictures! But out of that, which one film has managed to (best) stand the test of time? 

Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as we discuss the year in film, cinematic travelogues, colonialism, murder, mayhem, Macy's, mirror scenes, the color of flowers, and the true meaning of Christmas - and then we'll dig into the numbers (including our expert panel vote) and identify the best picture of 1947. 

The nominees are Black Narcissus, The Lady From Shanghai, Miracle on 34th Street, M. Verdoux, and Out of the Past. Who wins the Moonlight?
