This may sound strange, but I've only seen 15 movies from the 60's, so the picking's got slim.

Thanks nebbit. I thought I would add some gems not mentioned in this thread.

Judging by the films that I have seen that are from the 60's:

1. Breakfast at Tiffany's
2. The Sound of Music
3. My Fair Lady
4. 101 Dalmatians
5. Pinocchio
6. The Jungle Book
7. Marry Poppins

For a Few Dollars More
2001: A Space Odyssey
Once Upon a Time in the West
A Bout de Souffle
Psycho
Yojimbo
Breakfast at Tiffany's
8 1/2
Lord of the Flies
Midnight Cowboy

Here is a few of my favorites from the 60's
Lawrence of Arabia 1962

Dr.Strangelove 1964

Psycho 1960

Bonny and Clyde 1967

The Wild Bunch 1969

A bit more of a legitimate top 10, unlike the last one:

1. Goldfinger
2. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
3. Psycho
4. From Russia With Love
5. The Sound of Music
6. The Birds
7. Dr. No
8. Lawrence of Arabia
9. Thunderball
10. On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Now I love James Bond, but a top 10 of the decade with not one but FIVE of them?

It is still a bit early on ranking the 1960's per se for me. It's my least watched decade and I've only seen 28 films. So yeah it looks a bit cooky but in reality it is what it is right now. Tons of films to see yet.

in no particular order-


the good, the bad, the ugly
Once upon a time in the west
the guns of navarone
dr strangelove
to kill a mockingbird
the graduate
lawrence of arabia
psycho
breakfast at tiffany's
point blank

4. La Dolce Vita
5. The Birds
6. The Graduate
7. Rosemary's Baby
8. Bullitt
