Mofoington's Best Film: 1963

101 good evening, the 8th is good for me. I bet most folks well be happy with that

Hopefully.

I'm surprised 8 1/2 hasn't been mentioned, I say it has a good chance of winning.

8 1/2 is the favorite, but not if I have a say in it

8 1/2 will be in the top 5

Another prediction, I don't think The Birds will make nominees list, it's famous and all but not very loved on here (from what've seen).

You're right, not much love for The Birds, well except for me.

The Birds isn't a huge movie on this forum, but I think it could do well with those who participate in this thread.

8 1/2, is on my watchlist for the 1963 movies, but I doubt it will make my list.

The Birds probably won't make my list either.

I looked at the movies Mark posted and requested some of them. I will be watching these 1963 films by Dec 8th, (I hope)

Tom Jones
Homeward bound : the incredible journey
The three lives of Thomasina
The Haunting
America, America
Four for Texas
The Leopard
The V.I.P.s

I'm sure the ones Mark suggested are good. I'm not sure about the others?

You may also want to consider a couple of Jack Lemmon movies:
Under the Yum Yum Tree
Irma la Douce

And a couple of Doris Day movies:
Move Over, Darling
The Thrill of It All

And a few more movies:
Charade
The Great Escape
P.T. 109
The Courtship of Eddie's Father
Cleopatra

Thanks, I requested some of your recommendations that I hadn't seen. I want to see as many 1963 films as I can. So I'm open to more suggestions from anyone.

You may also want to consider a couple of Jack Lemmon movies:
Under the Yum Yum Tree....I just requested it.
Irma la Douce...Seen it and loved it!

And a couple of Doris Day movies:
Move Over, Darling....I just requested it.
The Thrill of It All...Seen it and really liked it.

And a few more movies:
Charade....Seen it and liked it but not as much as most people do.
The Great Escape...Seen it and really liked it.
P.T. 109...Seen it and really liked it.
The Courtship of Eddie's Father....I just requested it
Cleopatra....I just requested it, I have seen it before but will rewatch it.

I like The Birds quite a lot, very good Hitchcock that will make my list if I submit one. Seen 8 1/2 and Contempt which are both masterpieces. From Russia With Love is one of the best Bond films too.

I like The Birds too, it's not the greatest film in the world but I appreciate it for what it is worth. From Russia With Love is great too,

Contempt is far away the best film, imo.

I haven't seen it doesn't seem like my kind of film, I've been surprised before though

I loved Contempt but I think it's one that will bore many people. I'd recommend Hud and High and Low.

It's not that Contempt bored me, when I am bored I pretty much feel indifference, it got on my nerves more than anything.

I was thinking that Comtempt would've made a good Hall of Fame nomination, not because everyone would love it, but because I think it would inspire a lot of discussion.

Make sure people watch Shock Corridor. It's excellent.

I like The Birds, it was the first film I saw that scared me ...a long long time ago! When I see it now tho it seems a bit silly. I don't think it stands up too well, but I'm not much of a Hitchcock fan
