Just thinking off the top of my head... my favorite 1960s film would be...

From 1967, the year of my birth...a beautiful and well done Czech film..




And I love some early Terence Stamp



I would need to go through letterboxd to find any more I enjoyed

Exactly!!!

Not my type of film!!
Have you still not understood that I was merely saying that it was a number of films which Alphaville influenced?
Obviously I don't think that Naked Gun (a crap film made in the 1990s) was the best film made in the 1960s.
This ridiculous exchange is purely on account of your failure to read my post before coming wading in.

I'm surprised you get to sleep at night if you watch these types of films @RichieRich, I'd be terrified 😮

Apparently you didn't pay attention to my post! My first film was Marketa Lazarova is the first one I listed AND it's from 1967, the year of my birth!

The second film was The Collector and its from 1965, which i didnt supply a date!.

Stop wasting my time with nonsense.

3. The Swimmer
4. A Child Is Waiting
5. Birdman of Alcatraz
6. An Autumn Afternoon
7. Ladybug, Ladybug
8. The Happy Ending
9. The Misfits
10. The Face of Another
11. The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner

13. The Sign of the Leo
14. The Professionals
15. Le Trou
16. Il Sorpasso
