Recommend Me Some Movies from the 1960s

I'm done with part 3 of War and Peace. I'm almost done watching the longest film I've ever seen.

For those in the UK Cimarron is on BBC2 later today (Sunday) at 13:05.

I don't think I saw anyone recommend Playtime. Does Jacques Tati get no love on this site? Playtime is one of the great achievements in film making, a strange, funny, and absurd masterpiece.

Did anyone mention Hara-Kiri yet?

I've been trying to think of movies that you might like, Miss Vicky. You may want to give What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte a try. The latter especially is a favorite of mine.

I don't know that this one is so much for Miss Vicky, but I will use this thread to pimp a 60s movie out to everyone:

Baron Prásil



It's animated with live-action bits, and tons of beautiful colors. It's also a whole lot of fun.

Sorry if any of these have already been suggested

Kes
The Apartment
The Producers
Cleopatra
Marnie
The Jungle Book
Where Eagles Dare
Birdman of Alcatraz
Oliver
West Side Story
The Dirty Dozen
Zulu
The Haunting
Cape Fear

Tomorrow I'll surely get to La Dolce Vita.

Miss Vicky, you definitely need to see Once Upon a Time in the West!

Yup, I think there's a big chance you'll love Once upon a Time in the West, Miss Vicky, but you just have to get past the first hour (I personally love it, but I know many people think the beginning is a bit slow).

I have promised myself to get through Once Upon A Time In The West before the 60's list. I have started it three times since it showed up streaming on Netflix. I love The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly so I am not afraid of a slow moving western. I just have to be in the right frame of mind I guess.

Once Upon A Time In The West has one of the best opening scenes around. Gotta love Fonda in this one.

It's on my watchlist, but I've only just started working on it. I've watched two movies for the 60s countdown so far - Midnight Cowboy and Persona - and both are contenders for my ballot.

That doesn't sound promising.

Really?

i never would've expected Miss Vicky to become a Bergman fan

The first hour of Once Upon a Time in the West has two of the greatest openings of all time

Don't get too excited. She's seen like 20 films

Well I've only seen two of his films, so I wouldn't call me a "fan" just yet. But so far so good.

Bite me.

My recommendations for films of the 1960's are as follows:

West Side Story

101 Dalmations
