Help The Samoan's 60's list

This thread is designed to help me construct my 60's list. With my top 25 more or less already identified I will be looking at other films to try and crack into my 25, so any help will be much appreciated.

Within the next few days I will start my assault on the 60's films and will keep a record of it here just to keep things altogether. I have quite a varied taste in movies but I would say mostly I enjoy the darker, more serious side of cinema. For example,Repulsion, Onibaba, The Innocents and In Cold Blood are all films I hold in high regard. Not to say that these are the only type that I am looking for but just to give you a general idea.

Any recommendations that I haven't seen will be added to my watchlist and I will try my best to get through as many as possible.

Cheers

No Christine, added to watch list now though. Cheers

Several of those will almost definitely appear on my list. Added those I've not seen to my watch list. Particularly Weekend.
Thanks

Go 60s? Go kitchen sink!

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Saturday Night & Sunday Morning, Kes, This Sporting Life, Cathy Come Home (though it's a TV play) etc

There's a ton of them, mostly based on the work of Realist writers such as Alan Sillitoe. A new wave if you want to be poncy.

Billy Liar (1963)

Tom Courtenay plays a young man, stuck in a dead end job and living in a grimy and industrial England. Depressed with life, he escapes to a fantasy world (almost Mitty-like) where he fufills his ambitions. Its listed as a comedy but I really didn't find it that funny. Rather tragic and pretty bleak, Billy Liar is a good portrayal of working-class Britain and has good performances from Courtenay and Julie Christie.

If you like Westerns, definitely watch One-Eyed Jacks, which I'm surprised Mark didn't mention. Also Harakiri and High and Low.

Cheers Cricket. I actually own One Eyed Jacks so will watch it. I liked Harakiri but not enough to make my list and High and Low will be watched at some stage....hopefully.

Once Upon a Time in The West (1968)

Just as I thought my list was impenetrable, along comes Harmonica with his..... harmonica. Previously my favourite western was the 1957's 3:10 to Yuma with Glen Ford but not any more. From the opening scene with the fly, right through to the very end, I was completely hooked. Soundtrack and visuals were out of the world and Bronson's performance was damn near perfection. Then there was Cardinale. Such a stunning actress and she produces a performance to match her looks. Overall, I'm not the biggest fan of the Western genre but lets face it, this isn't any old Western, is it?

+

Cape Fear (1962)

Decent scenes of suspense and its a pretty tight thriller, however it does drag in parts and ultimately I much preferred the remake.

With only another one and a half boxes to go, you couldn't have preferred it that "much" more.

Ha! I knew when typing that that you would be the first one to correct me. Its a massive difference HK and you know it.

Well, you know how I hate to disappoint.

This is probably one of the biggest movies I haven't seen yet. Of course I'll be watching it for the 60's list, and I'm looking forward to it.

Watch Mr. Freedom.
