I’ve been getting more and more into films from the 60s with it being one of my favorite decades for movies. I’ve only seen around 30 films from the decade so I’ll give my top and bottom 5 to help a bit.
Top 5:
- Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock
- Sound of Music by Robert Wise
- Harakiri by Masaki Kobayashi
- The Trial by Orson Welles
- West Side Story by Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise
Bottom 5:
- Blood of Dracula’s Castle by Al Adamson
- You Only Live Twice by Lewis Gilbert
- Thunderball by Terence Young
- One Hundred and One Dalmatians by Wolfgang Reitherman, Clyde Geronimi, and Hamilton Luske
- Atragon by Ishiro Honda
I’ve already been recommended by friends to watch 2001 A Space Odyssey so I’m getting to that one soon. There’s a couple oddball films I also have on my list to check out soonish, but wanted to know what else I was missing. As for big films I have seen and left out, yes I’ve seen High and Low, Charade, Easy Rider, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
*La Grande Vadrouille", or by it’s English title, “Don’t look now, we’re being shot at.” Three RAF pilots accidentally strand themselves in occupied France. With the help of the resistance, and some guys who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, they try to escape. It’s definitely a product of its time, but it’s not too bad compared to some other titles of this age. Definitely worth a watch!
