[Captain Spaulding]

You should just go ahead and declare Psycho the winner. That way we can save time and get an early start on 1961.

[jiraffejustin]

I want to give other movies a fair shot, even if it seems as if Psycho will run away with it. I am going to PM everybody who voted to give us the nominees, but we have until the 23rd to watch any nominees that we haven't seen yet. They don't have to see any of them if they don't want to though. You can vote now if you'd like. Just send in a top 5 (or less) in ranked order and only include the films you think deserve it.

[Swan]

Holy crap! The Time Machine made it!

[rauldc14]

I'll probably watch LA Dolce Vita before then.

[Swan]

I'm tempted to submit a list, but I should watch Elmer Gantry and Spartacus first.

[The Sci-Fi Slob]

Holy crap! The Time Machine made it!

I had it on my list, but I've always preferred the Guy Pearce version..

[Swan]

[gbgoodies]

Holy crap! The Time Machine made it!


Is that a good "Holy crap!", or a bad "Holy crap!"?

I'm glad it made it. I love The Time Machine. :)

[Swan]

Great holy crap! I absolutely love The Time Machine too. It's one of my favorites.

[The Sci-Fi Slob]

Nope.:cool:

[Swan]

I think you're joking. There's no way anyone can prefer that piece of crap to the brilliant 60's classic.

I started to watch La Dolce Vita the other night for this 1960 list. It did indeed look like an amazing art+cinema+creative movie....BUT I couldn't focus on reading the subtitles and watching the film at the same time.

I either read the subtitles and missed looking at the actors faces OR looked at the actors and missed some of the subtitles. Does anybody else have this problem? I'm guessing not because there's lots of foreign films in the nominee list.

I have the same problem with subtitles. I've tried watching several foreign films, but I think I miss quite a bit of the movie while reading the subtitles. Plus, I have a tendency to do other things while watching movies sometimes, so I have a habit of looking away from the screen during the movie, so that doesn't help either.

After you watch enough subtitled films it stops being this way. At a certain point it becomes automatic and you are able to take everything in all at once.

[Daniel M]

Haven't seen Peeping Tom, The Time Machine, Spartacus or Peeping Tom. The rest are great though.

[cricket]

I'm going to watch a couple I haven't seen. I'll vote on time.

[Pussy Galore]

I'd like to participate even if I hadn't nominated anything.

In still have 5 films to watch, if I manage to watch them in time I'll send my winner.

[Citizen Rules]

I understand what you're saying, Godoggo...and I have watched and enjoyed films with subtitles. In La Dolce Vita, there was lots of fast spoken Italian dialog and I couldn't keep up with reading the subtitles. I've seen Chinese and German made films where I could keep up. Maybe I will try one day again?

[jiraffejustin]

Haven't seen Peeping Tom, The Time Machine, Spartacus or Peeping Tom. The rest are great though.

I bolded the two main ones you need to watch. :D

[gbgoodies]

Haven't seen Peeping Tom, The Time Machine, Spartacus or Peeping Tom. The rest are great though.


You only have to watch Peeping Tom once, unless you really like and and you want to watch it twice. :laugh:

How long does it take for that to happen? I've watched a bunch of foreign films since I found this site, and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier for me. :(

[Godoggo]

I don't know. It seemed to happen fairly quickly for me, but I started watching foreign movies fairly young.

I've never ever met a person that hasn't happened for though. My ex rarely watched foreign films before me and it wasn't long before he became accustomed to it.

It's just like anything else with your brain. At first you are aware of that you're having to read and watch at the same time so it's distracting and uncomfortable. After awhile your mind adjusts to it and you forget that you're even doing it. When that clicks then you are able to absorb the movie all at once.

I even "forget" that I am not able to understand the actors. It really is just an adjustment and some people take longer to adjust to certain things than others. If you really want to try to make it happen immerse yourself in it for awhile.

[christine]

Bah! only three of my 10 made the list. Even if you don't like Brit kitchen sink dramas (Saturday Night and Sunday Morning) or a seriously good tense prison film (Le Trou - The Hole) or a creepy British sci fi (Village of the Damned) - you didn't vote for The Magnificent Seven? tsk tsk!

[mark f]

I had Seven in seventh place.

[gbgoodies]

I considered The Magnificent Seven because it's a great movie, but when I asked if this list was supposed to be the best movies of 1960 or my favorite movies of 1960, I was told I could do either list, so I opted for my favorite movies of 1960 and it didn't make the cut. Had this list been the best movies of 1960, it probably would have been on my list.

But if it makes you feel any better, Spartacus and Psycho didn't make my list for the same reason. They're all great movies, but I wouldn't consider them my favorite movies.

[mark f]

Well, in the first round you should really put the movies you want to make the finals, but remember if you don't put them high enough, they'll have less of a shot. You can even nominate only one film, which will give less support to others, but they'll probably make it in due to the other voters, In the finals, vote for who you want to win. Of course, it's all skewed based on what you've seen and your personal approach to movies. :)

I thought about that, but I decided to just be true to myself and only vote for movies that are my favorites. I just figured that the rest of you would probably vote the other movies in anyway.

Only two of my movies made the list, but I'm surprised it wasn't three. I expected Inherit the Wind to make the list. That was the #1 movie on my list. I had no expectations of any other movies on my list making the list here.

I did the same thing for the 1970s movie list, which is why very few of my movies have made the list so far, and I don't expect to see more than about 4 or 5 more of my movies as the countdown continues.

It doesn't bother me though. These movies are my favorites, and they will still be my favorites whether everyone else agrees with me or not. No countdown or voting will change that. :D

[Camo]

How long does it take for that to happen? I've watched a bunch of foreign films since I found this site, and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier for me. :(

When i just got the internet as a kid i started watching a Japanese anime show called Naruto, at the time (no idea now?) episodes were released in English about five days later. As would be expected in this type of show it was full of cliffhangers, so i was pretty much forced into watching it in Japanese. At first it was quite difficult to follow, but after a few episodes i came to prefer it in it's original language.

I think the problem might be the sort of foreign films you are watching. I've noticed that you have been trying to watch alot of foreign movies for the movie tournament. The reason i got so used to it was because it was in something i was already very interested in, you should look for a few movies or a tv show in another language that intrigues you to get used to it first imo.

In theory, the movies in the Movie Tournament should be "the best of the best", but I understand what you're saying, and I agree that that's a good idea, but then I wouldn't have time to watch the movies on my watchlist now. Between the 1960 movies, the Movie Tournament, the movies that are recommended on other threads here, and the upcoming 1960s movie list, I barely have time to keep up with my watchlist now.

I try to give every movie a fair chance, even if it doesn't sound like my kind of movie from the synopsis, but I've started skipping over movies that I know I won't like, as long as they're up against another movie that I already know that I won't like. Then I just skip that matchup when I vote. But I haven't voted for anything without watching both movies in the matchup.

[WBadger]

Think I'll try to watch The Virgin Spring and Elmer Gantry before the 23rd. But I'm pretty happy that 5 from my original list made it

[WBadger]

Try again or you'll be missing out on great films

[Godoggo]

I did. I also voted for The Village of the Damned. Really upset those two didn't make it.

[Godoggo]

Forgot to say that I'm glad I'll be forced to finally watch Elmer Gantry. Not that I haven't wanted to but I never seem to get around to it. Now I have a good reason not to put it off.

[cricket]

I have the same problem with subtitles. I've tried watching several foreign films, but I think I miss quite a bit of the movie while reading the subtitles. Plus, I have a tendency to do other things while watching movies sometimes, so I have a habit of looking away from the screen during the movie, so that doesn't help either.

I get closer to the Tv when I watch a movie with subtitles. For me, being able to read them clearly and effortlessly is very important.

[Captain Spaulding]

Seven of my ten made the cut. The three that didn't were Eyes Without a Face, Village of the Damned and Shoot the Piano Player.

I haven't seen The Time Machine, L'Avventura, or Peeping Tom. I'm not that interested in The Time Machine, but the other two are movies I've been wanting to see for quite some time--- especially Peeping Tom, which sounds like a movie that I would love. Hopefully I can get around to watching one or both before the deadline.

I know Psycho is the overwhelming favorite, but I'd like to see The Apartment pull the upset. I think it's the only nominee that has any chance of doing so, but who knows? Both are in my all-time top ten, so I'll be happy either way.

1960 was an impressive year for movies.

[Thursday Next]

Bah, I forgot to turn in my nominations :(

[christine]

JJ Do we PM you our top five out of those 10 then?

[jiraffejustin]

Yep.

[cricket]

I'll have them all watched by Saturday afternoon and will vote right after.

[gbgoodies]

I've seen all of the English movies, and I'm working on watching all the foreign movies before I vote.

I watched La Dolce Vita last night, and at first, I thought it was going to be a nice romance movie, but then I thought, no, it's about a guy who is basically a gigolo (for lack of a better word). By the time the movie was over, I couldn't understand why it was so highly rated. There seemed to be some scenes that felt out of place in the movie, and didn't seem to relate to the rest of the story.

But I've been thinking about it since it ended, and I think I'm starting to understand it a little better, and it's kind of been going up on my list today. I've figured out some of the scenes that didn't make sense to me, and I'm beginning to like it better and better the more I think about it. I may even watch it again before I submit my votes.

[HitchFan97]

All six of my noms are here, so I'm a happy MoFo. 1960 was such a great year, but let's be honest...

http://cdn3.whatculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/psycho-1960.jpg

I think we all know who's taking the award home.

Yep.

[gbgoodies]

I sent my votes.

Yeah. I've been lazy on responding because my PMs are all clogged up. I'll quit being totally lazy and delete a bunch today.

[The Sci-Fi Slob]

Yeah. I've been lazy on responding because my PMs are all clogged up. I'd see a doctor about that.:D

[jiraffejustin]

I'd rather it be PMs and not BMs.

[rauldc14]

What year are we doing next, JJ?

[jiraffejustin]

61

[rauldc14]

I'll probably watch some 61 here soon. I've seen a whopping five films from that year :p

[cricket]

I voted and was happy to find 5 movies I really love.

[jiraffejustin]

I'll probably watch some 61 here soon. I've seen a whopping five films from that year :p

1961 is definitely a step down from 1960, but I think it will lead to a more interesting conclusion.

[mark f]

Whattaya talkin' about? 61 - The Innocents, One-Eyed Jacks, One, Two, Three, West Side Story, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Judgment at Nuremburg, Fanny, The Guns of Navarone, Lover Come Back, The Hustler, Yojimbo, Through a Glass Darkly, The Pit and the Pendulum, Divorce - Italian Style, Viridiana, El Cid, Last Year at Marienbad, A Taste of Honey, A Raisin in the Sun, Leon Morin, Priest, The End of Summer, The Best of Enemies, The Beast of Yucca Flats, etc.

[jiraffejustin]

There's only two movies from 61 that would make my top ten if it was in 60.

[bluedeed]

http://deeperintomovies.net/journal/image09/lola1.jpg

but Lola!

[jiraffejustin]

I haven't seen Lola. I have it recorded though.

[mark f]

I'd vote for Anouk Aimee, but not Lola. :) How many of those 23 films from my quickie list have you seen? Anybody?

[jiraffejustin]

I'd vote for Anouk Aimee, but not Lola. :) How many of those 23 films from my quickie list have you seen? Anybody?

Six and a half. I still haven't finished watching Marienbad.

[mark f]

Let me guess - most of them are foreign or horror.

[jiraffejustin]

The Innocents, West Side Story, The Hustler, Yojimbo, Viridiana, and The Pit and the Pendulum.

[jiraffejustin]

I'll go ahead and announce the winner. It's a huge upset:








http://www.tribute.ca/tribute_objects/images/movies/psycho/psycho.jpg


Final order:

1. Psycho
2. The Apartment
3. Breathless
4. Peeping Tom
5. La Dolce Vita
6. L'Avventura
7. The Virgin Spring
8. Elmer Gantry
9. The Time Machine
10. Spartacus

[Swan]

Aw rats, my number one won! Dammit!

[Mr Minio]

Great movie. One of Hitchcock's best. Still, dozens better from the 60's.

[jiraffejustin]

I am happy with the participation in this round. Everyone knew Psycho was going to win, but it didn't stop anybody from playing along. I'd like to see this continue through the years where it's not so much of a foregone conclusion. And the years where spaghetti westerns are prevalent, you better f*cking vote Minio!!!!!

[mark f]

I'm taking my marbles and going home,

[jiraffejustin]

I'm taking my marbles and going home,

Maybe you can convince everybody to vote for The Beast of Yucca Flats for 1961, it would make up for Gantry not winning.

[mark f]

It's too good for all you pissants.

[Mr Minio]

Mkay, you peasant.

[gbgoodies]

I'd vote for Anouk Aimee, but not Lola. :) How many of those 23 films from my quickie list have you seen? Anybody?


I think I've seen six, but One, Two, Three is already schedule on my DVR for tonight at 11 PM on Turner Classic Movies, so tomorrow it will be seven.

[Sane]

My nominations:

1. Late Autumn - Yasujiro Ozu
2. Breathless - Jean-Luc Godard
3. Psycho - Alfred Hitchcock
4. The Apartment - Billy Wilder
5. Purple Noon - Rene Clement
6. The Virgin Spring - Ingmar Bergman
7. When a Woman Ascends the Stairs - Mikio Naruse
8. The Steamroller & the Violin - Andrei Tarkovsky
9. Daughters, Wives & a Mother - Mikio Naruse
10. Peeping Tom - Michael Powell

My votes:

1. Breathless
2. La Dolce Vita
3. Psycho
4. The Apartment
5. The Virgin Spring

Now, for 1961, The Human Condition III is the correct answer ;)

[cricket]

Just watched The Children's Hour (1961)

Very good movie

[rauldc14]

The Virgin Spring deserved better. Perhaps people didn't get to it?:shrug:

[Frightened Inmate No. 2]

only seen 7 '60 films total, but i only put the first 6 on my list. i didn't get around to submitting a second list.

1. Psycho
2. Shoot the Piano Player
3. Purple Noon
4. Breathless
5. Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
6. The Virgin Spring
7. The Apartment

[gbgoodies]

The Virgin Spring deserved better. Perhaps people didn't get to it?:shrug:


I watched The Virgin Spring. I didn't like it.

But you can't really go by my opinion because Psycho wasn't my first choice, and it wasn't even in my original top ten. It's a great movie, but it's not one of my favorite Hitchcock movies.

Most people probably haven't even heard of half the movies in my top ten, but I was surprised that Inherit the Wind didn't make the top ten.

[jiraffejustin]

Now, for 1961, The Human Condition III is the correct answer ;)

Listen to this man, for he is wise

[cricket]

Is The Human Condition trilogy something that needs to be watched in full, and in order?

[jiraffejustin]

Is The Human Condition trilogy something that needs to be watched in full, and in order?

Yeah. It may seem like a daunting task if you just look at the run time, but it's worth it.

[Godoggo]

That's not at all surprising. Psycho was the first movie to be inducted into the Mofo Hall of Fame and The Apartment was the second.

The Virgin Spring was my top pick, but Psycho is also a favorite of mine so there is no disappointment on my part.

[Godoggo]

The ones in bold are the ones I've seen, Mark

Whattaya talkin' about? 61 - The Innocents, One-Eyed Jacks, One, Two, Three, West Side Story,Breakfast at Tiffany's, Judgment at Nuremburg, Fanny, The Guns of Navarone, Lover Come Back, The Hustler, Yojimbo, Through a Glass Darkly, The Pit and the Pendulum, Divorce - Italian Style, Viridiana, El Cid, Last Year at Marienbad, A Taste of Honey, A Raisin in the Sun, Leon Morin, Priest, The End of Summer, The Best of Enemies, The Beast of Yucca Flats, etc.

I saw A Raisin in the Sun in high school. Very underrated movie.

[Captain Spaulding]

I saw A Raisin in the Sun in high school. Very underrated movie.

I prefer the prequel: A Grape in the Sun.

[Godoggo]

For 1961 people need to watch The Children's Hour and A Taste of Honey.

[Thursday Next]

Those two plus West Side Story are pretty much the only films on my 1961 list right now. And Victim. How many are we supposed to nominate?

I don't have a set time, but some time tomorrow evening probably

Ahhhh yea, I was thinking it was today, thanks.

[Frightened Inmate No. 2]

i'd like to get one more movie in but i don't think i'll be able to. i'll probably send mine sometime tomorrow.

[christine]

Come on guys. 1961 was a good year :)

[jiraffejustin]

I'll give an extension for anybody that decides they want to watch the Human Condition trilogy. Part 3 is from 1961. So... somebody should take me up on that offer.

[cricket]

I didn't get around to that; I was assuming it would make the 10 finalists so I was going to watch the trilogy in the next week.

[Swan]

Long movies? I don't watch long movies! Movies must be under 90 minutes or I won't watch them.

[cricket]

Long movies? I don't watch long movies! Movies much be under 90 minutes or I won't watch them.

The movies you like that are under 90 minutes seem like 4 hours anyway:p

I was wondering the same thing. Can we post our 1960 nominees here? I'm curious what movies were nominated that didn't make the top 10 list.

[jiraffejustin]

Here is the list I had to help me keep track - http://www.imdb.com/list/ls070830179/

Has all the votes, points, etc.

[Citizen Rules]

Interesting what we all voted for, thanks for that link.

Here is my 1960 nominees.

3 Psyco
4 The Time Machine
5 The Unforgiven
6 Where the Boys Are
7 Tall Story

9 The Little Shop of Horrors
10 BUtterfield 8

Mark will be happy to see Elmer Gantry there at 1. It's interesting to see all the movies that got only 1 vote. I'm sure there worth a watch.

[gbgoodies]

Thanks for the link. There are some movies listed that I'm not familiar with, so I'll have to check them out when I have some time.

GBG, I know that you put a lot of effort and thought into your list. I admire that (me I'm impatient). I haven't seen some of your 1960 nominees, but I will watch them. I'm sure if they made your list, they are worth watching and I would enjoy them.:)

I love watching movies that I've never heard of when they have an actor in them that I really like. Except for Inherit the Wind, The Apartment, and The Time Machine, all the movies on my list were movies that I had never heard of, but I found them while searching for movies from 1960, and they all have at least one actor or actress that I really like.

As usual some of those movies are not at Netflix or my library. But I did just request:

Murder, Inc
Strangers When We Meet
The Grass is Greener
I'll post my thoughts on my review thread.

I've seen (and liked)
Inherit the Wind
The Apartment
Bells Are Ringing
The Time Machine

Murder, Inc is the weakest of those movies, but it's worth watching just for Peter Falk's fantastic performance. If I remember correctly, I think he was nominated for an Oscar for that movie.

I remember watching Peter Falk on Colombo. Seems to me there was a rotated them of mystery 1 hour TV shows, such as Mc Millian and Wife and one with Dennis Weaver.

BTW have you seen all the movies in my list? Any thoughts? I have like 15 minutes before I turn into a pumpkin.

Sorry I didn't see your post until just now, so I probably missed you tonight.

I haven't see The Unforgiven and Where the Boys Are, but the rest of it is a pretty solid list. Some of them, like Little Shop of Horrors and BUtterfield 8, aren't my favorites, but they're still good movies, and I can see why they made your list.

Ditto, but I'll vote when we have the 10 after seeing some.

I haven't seen Le Trou, Late Autumn, and The Criminal, and I think I've seen Village of the Damned and The Entertainer, but I don't remember them well because it's been a long time since I've seen them.

I've seen the rest of your list, and I liked all of those moves, but The Apartment was the only one that made my favorites list. The Magnificent Seven was a great movie, but it's just not my fave genre. I was surprised that it didn't do better on the MoFo list.
