I'll quit beating the Day of the Dead, but what I actually said was ...
... meaning if it were by a more well-known director (who was working in Mexico at the time), it would have more of a chance making our list. I saw Macario before I ever saw a Bunuel film.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Fair enough.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Before my sixties watching for the list began, The Grinch would have made my list. I'm surprised it couldn't make top 100 and I do wish it would have.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

It's all your fault, raul.

Christine's to blame, too. :mad:

No gongs? No problem.

I've discovered a musical instrument that's much more '60s:

It fits beautifully with the first film from my list:

Very Asian too

Don't blame me for The Grinch not making it! I was talking about not voting for Jason and the Argonauts!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Whoa. I didn't even know The Grinch was eligible for this list. If I had known that I would have probably voted for it and it would've been number 100.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

The Grinch already made the Cartoon List. Let's not make The Grinch be so greedy. Other movies want a chance! Serves you right, Grinch!

I almost gave the Grinch an extra point (it was 4 on my list) but I decided not to so my 3rd place could have an extra point if it needed it.

Crap, I totally scrolled too fast and misread that. My apologies!

Its eligibility was specifically discussed in the other thread.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Good start to the list.

Oh. I must've missed that part.

accepted :laugh:

Manos was my number 25. And I deliberately put it there for it to be on the one point section. And I watched it WITHOUT the witty commentary by the MST3K cast. It was painful.

I have not seen either of the first two films. Much like all the other lists, I expect to see my first film show up in the 70's and maybe the 80's range. Then it will be a slow trickle of films before more and more show up.

I am glad this list is finally starting. Always so much fun, and a great part of being a MoFo.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I haven't seen neither of those films starting off this list. I want to watch both though after reading into them.

Sad to see The Grinch not making the list. I had it at #13, which is quite high for a short. Especially considering I rarely put shorts on my list.

I'm looking forward to the next set! :up:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Do I understand this correctly: that every ones nomination #25 is a 1 pointer and on the second post, unless other people voted for it?

Yes, the #25 entry on your list is only worth 1 point, so if nobody else voted for it, then it only got your 1 point, and it's on the list in the second post. If your #25 entry is not on that list, then somebody else also voted for it.

Yes. The one pointers are films that got 1 point only. If your number 25 did not show up, other people voted for it.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Thanks GBG & Gunslinger!....I'm really surprised someone else voted for my #25, but happy to see someone else liked it.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Just watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and loved it. It wouldn't have made my list or anything, but it's a great short animation film with a big heart. ;)

Off Topic: I'm off to watch Tale of Tales now, which is another short on the animation list that I haven't seen yet.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

98. Knife in the Water
97. High and Low

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geshECwkq1U

That one is going to be a bit higher, I think (hope).

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Yes, I believe High and Low will definitely be higher!

It better be.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

The Breakdown...



1st (25 points), 7th (19 points), 9th (17 points)



5th (21 points), 7th (19 points), 15th (11 points), 16th (10 points)



Both films were tied with another. A Taste of Honey appeared one three lists, so ranks the lowest. Seconds and another film both appeared on four lists, but the other placed higher on an individual list, so appears next in the countdown.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I've never heard of a Taste of Honey


As for Seconds I liked the film, but not enough to put on my list

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Seconds was yet another candidate for my list that ultimately didn't make the cut. I'm glad it made it without my help. I didn't have the time to see A Taste of Honey, but it sure looks like an interesting picture.

This seems like a great start for this decade list! :up:

I haven't seen either of these. I don't think I've ever even heard of Seconds.

My List
2. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (#101) :mad:
25. Something That Didn't Make the One Pointers List :mad:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I wanted to watch Seconds because I know cricket loved it, but I didn't have enough time.

I'll get to it this week or two. :up:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I watched and reviewed Seconds at some point in the last few weeks. It's pretty good, though I didn't vote for it. So far it's the only entry I've seen.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I wonder who voted A Taste Of Honey #1. ;) I'm sure she'll be on here later to praise it.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I had Seconds on my list. Bit gutted that it wasn't placed higher. It really is an underrated gem of a movie. Didn't get round to A Taste of Honey but I will soon.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Haven't seen either of today entrees, have been meaning to watch Seconds for awhile

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Had Seconds on my watchlist forever.

And I just added A Taste of Honey to the watchlist.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

So far a big goose egg for me on both listing and having seen any of the entries so far...

Cya tomorrow!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

A Taste of Honey was my number 1. It only just scraped the countdown, too, just shows how much points do matter!

One thing that makes this film stand out for me, from other popular British New Wave films of the era, is that instead of the typical 'angry young man' of films like Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, we've got a young woman, with the significant supporting characters being her mother, her black boyfriend and the gay friend she moves in with for a time.

Another thing is the tone. Although this is a film about a working class girl with a neglectful mother, who lives in poverty and finds herself pregnant after a brief affair with a sailor, it's far from a misery memoir. It's sad, it's funny, it's very British, offbeat and human.

It's also beautifully filmed in black and white and superbly acted.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I have seen Seconds, too. It's pretty good but wasn't on my list. I wonder if its inclusion in the mofo watchlist helped it to its place here?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

4 films down and I haven't seen any of them

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Haven't seen either. Both look interesting. Tonight I'm going to watch The Trial, think I might watch ones of these tomorrow.

Interesting start.

I agree with everything TN says. It always seemed like a landmark film to me, one in which a girl was deciding her own mind and wasn't being pushed around . It's not a film that's plays for sympathy or sentimentality, it feels real, and it feels close to home. It was my number 7. I'm very happy it's in the top 100 even tho it feels too low.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Taste of Honey I've neither seen nor heard of. But it looks interesting so I'm going to seek it out and give it a look.

Seconds was my #16 - hoping it'd be a little higher, but I'm glad it made the list none the less.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

haven't seen either, but both films have been on my radar for a while, especially seconds.

I didn't vote for either.
I like A Taste of Honey quite a bit. Here's why.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rcBepHOIe0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iejBq2uj48Y
I like Seconds less but it has a number of striking scenes. This will give you a taste of Frankenheimer's direction, James Wong Howe's cinematography and Jerry Goldsmith's music.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Seconds is alright, I haven't seen A Taste of Honey (yet).

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Heard of both...have seen neither...would like to see them.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I haven't seen either.

Godoggo was the other person to vote for A Taste of Honey. She had shared her list with me and I would like to announce her picks as they are unveiled if that's OK with everyone.

I watched Seconds for this list. It's a good movie, but it never really had a chance to make my list.

I haven't seen A Taste of Honey.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Except for The Trial I haven't heard of none of this movies! -.- Jesus...

I think that would be nice and we would enjoy that.:)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Clearly, I did not talk about A Taste of Honey enough in the run up to this! I should have nominated it for a hall of fame or something.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Just realized it's in your top ten. Think I'll watch it tomorrow.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

so it's gonna be 2 movies a day ?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

It always is.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Yeah, that's been the standard for just about all the lists. That and slowing it down to one a day near the end.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I was pretty busy during the voting period so I didn't get to watch even a tiny fraction of what I'd hoped (and my list is a little shallow as a result). But the flip side is that I can use the list results to help prioritize which of the films I haven't seen, too.

This was probably answered elsewhere, but is the 50's list gonna be next?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Documentaries I think.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I don't think there has been a consensus on which Top 100 countdown is next. IMO the 1950s makes sense. Anyone who truly loves cinema should also give the 1950s a look. There's lots of very important movies in that decade.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

There's lots of very important movies in every decade.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Yeah there's no consensus yet as far as I'm aware. Docs have been getting brought up a lot lately though. Personally I'd prefer docs so we have a different countdown in between decades like we had with Animation.

This may be a bit early to start discussing this :laugh:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Personally, I like the idea of alternating decade lists with genre lists, but yeah, no consensus yet. We'll figure that out closer to the end of this one. :)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

ANIMATION IS NOT A GENRE!!! :p

If the 50's list isn't next I'm okay. Personally I'm just not that psyched for a documentaries list. A comedies or action list would be my pick.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

When I heard talk about doing documentaries, it was about the Documentary HOF, I think Sean was going to run that?

I'm OK if 50s are not next. But we do need to hit all the decades. The countdowns started at present and has worked it's way back. So at some point there needs to be a 50s, then a 40s then a 30s...from there I would do a Silent era countdown, now there's unexplored territory!

But for fun, maybe every one wants to do comedies like FM said? Comedies get little respect so a countdown list for them would be different and fun:)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I still say it's time to redo the all time list.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I wasn't here for the all time list, what is it?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

i think it will be great if we do a list by country , for example italy , france , germany..

or we can do a poll with some propositions and will see what the majority wants :D

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

If I remember correctly, it was a triumph of mainstream mediocrity over arthouse mastery.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

A documentaries countdown has been getting mentioned for months Citizen, mostly in the 60s thread. Think it was Harry Lime who first mentioned it.

A list of the top 100 movies of all time. It's been done twice before, but the last time was in 2010.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

I think we should do the decades before we return to the all time list, to give pre-1960 movies more of a chance to get on it.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Let's enjoy this list a bit before we talk about other countdowns:p. We are on film 97.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Why are we even talking about this? We already know it's Documentaries, 50s, All-time Redux.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

He's right!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Of course I'm right. I'm always right. Thanks, Camo.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Just sounds right to do it that way Lime! I'm with you. Now, back onto the sixties!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Why don't we make porn list?

Finally! A list I can get behind. ;)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Hahaha. I guess even with porn I'd whine about the mainstreamity of your choices.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

You must bring arthouse mafia back to life!!!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Arthouse Porn. Lots of good ones in the Criterion collection.

Eclipse Series 69: Ron Jeremy early anal films

Notes made.

LOL, you can even rate porn on IMDb!!!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Two more movies I have not seen.

I AM NOT... A... GENRE! I AM A... AN ART FORM!

Edit: For the porn list, I'll go mainstream and have Deep Throat as my #1.

Calm down John Merrick. :D

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

It's a nice surprise to me to see A Taste of Honey show up. It wasn't very close to making my list, but it was probably my favorite out of the kitchen sink movies I watched.

Seconds was very close to making my list, but for whatever reason, it hasn't stayed with me like some other films, even lesser ones.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

My thoughts on the first four picks: :shrug:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Maybe the next countdown should be the first 50 years of the 1900's.

1900-1950?

Instead of just doing the '50's, the '40s, the '30s, the '20s, etc.

Well, wait, no... I'm forgetting 51-59.

1900-1959, then.

Well, let's say 60 years. 1899-1959.

I was thinking about what would be done about the 1920's. The thing is that I think the '30's through '50's each deserve their own lists. But I don't know if enough people have seen enough movies from the 1920's for one. Maybe there could be a combined list for the '20's and '30's. I think that could work out. Although, I've created my own lists before for each decade. I never make a list just for the 1920's. I just called it "Silent Films". That, of course, could then include something like "The Artist", I suppose, but I never go beyond a 1930's Chaplin film when I make out that specific list. And then it can also include films before the '20's, too.

But I think the '40's and '50's still should get their own.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Seconds went pretty close to making my list.

Had been meaning to watch The Trial but never got around to it.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

It'd be great if we got back to talking about the 60s list in this thread...

Really great. ;)

Seconds and A Taste of Honey are very good and Black Sunday was decent. Didn't really enjoy The Trial. None were on my list.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown
 

Ok then. I asked nicely to keep it on topic.

Now I'm not asking nicely.
