Le Samourai is awesome!

To anyone that hasn't seen The Wild Bunch yet, that's one movie imo you have to see before you turn in your list.

Now that, I can not tell you

The movie I want people to watch is In Cold Blood. I'm pretty sure it will make the list, but I already know it should be higher than where it will end up.

Question, for Daniel, Holden Pike, or mark f, etc:

There's a movie called The Butcher (Le Boucher), which is a French thriller. It's listed in my 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die as a 1969 release. Yet on IMDb it is listed as a 1970 release.

Eligible for the 1960s, or no?

Daniel's call but I'd say '70.

Yeah not eligible for this sorry, I think a few people voted for it in the 70s and it fell somewhere in the 100-150 spots.

Man, I have a lot of movies to watch for this.

As flawed as the IMDb release dates often are, for the sake of the lists being uniform, that is the default date we use for these. So, Le Boucher was eligible for the previous list, and did not make the top hundred. Too bad, because it's excellent. Oh, well.

The thing that makes this really exciting for me is that of all the decade countdowns we have done the 60s has the most active "great" directors ... thanks mainly to it being the first decade that I could vote for Ozu films

Some of my favourite directors and their 60s films that I would recommend:

Mike Nichols:



The Graduate


Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf -


Yasujiro Ozu:



Late Autumn


The End of Summer -


An Autumn Afternoon -


Francois Truffaut:



Jules & Jim +


Federico Fellini:



La Dolce Vita -





Satyajit Ray:



Mahanagar aka The Big City


Charulata +


Vittorio De Sica:



Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow +


Two Women


Stanley Kramer:



Guess Who's Coming to Dinner


Judgement at Nuremberg


It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World


Masaki Kobayashi:



The Human Condition III: A Soldier's Prayer


Harakiri


Samurai Rebellion


-

There are so many great movies in the world aren't there?

So I just watched:





Great crime film, a little unconventional but very cool and interesting.
