Faces

Those are just off the top of my head. I'm probably missing a good chunk of my favs that I can't remember ATM. Of course, I really haven't seen much 60s myself either.


You may not like them, but I would certainly give them a chance.

Me and you are pretty much on the same page with 60's stuff. There are a couple on your watchlist that I have seen and loved. I will be watching this thread intently.

I'm really looking forward to Persona, Once Upon a Time in the West, Marnie and Bonnie and Clyde.

Oh, Slob, that reminds me. I forgot to put Alfie on my watchlist.

Ingmar Bergman was on fire in the 1960's and i can definitely recommend the 5 movies that i have seen from that period:

Ranked:



Persona (1966)



The Silence (1963)



Winter Light (1962)



Through a Glass Darkly (1961)



Hour of the Wolf (1968)

Some of the movies i like from the 1960's would include stuff like:


The Battle of Algiers (1966) by Gillo Pontecorvo



My favorite war movie of all-time. Its shot in a documentary fashion and shows the horrors of both counter-terrorism and terrorism.


Charulata (1964) by Satyajit Ray



An indian melodrama, shot in black and white from 1964. One of my best movie going experiences from last year.


I Am Cuba (1964) by Mikhail Kalatozov



This propaganda film is probably one of the most well-shot movies i have ever seen. Recommended for the pure beauty that's in it!


Gertrud (1964) by Carl Theodor Dreyer



The last film of my favorite director Carl Th. Dreyer. An astounding three-way drama!


Andrei Rublev (1966) by Andrei Tarkovsky



One of the best movies by master director Tarkovsky!


Pierrot le fou (1965) by Jean-Luc Godard



Godard makes a couple on the run movie. Highly recommended if you are interested in the french new wave and in a movie that plays with genre conventions.


Memorias del subdesarrollo (1968) by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea



A masterpiece of what you call the third cinema!


Last Year at Marienbad (1961) by Alain Resnais



A movie that really divides opinion and imo a must see if you are interested in dream-like surrealist movies.


Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) by Toshio Matsumoto



Crazy Japanese movie that inspired A Clockwork Orange! Not for the faint of heart!


Kwaidan (1964) by Masaki Kobayashi



A very special horror / fantasy movie. One of the most beautiful movies i have seen this year!


My Night at Maud's (1969) by Eric Rohmer



The only Rohmer film i have seen so far. It was superb!


Viridiana (1961) by Luis Buñuel



My favorite Buñuel movie and in my top 100. Again this is what i would consider a must see from the 1960's.

I think most people would like the bolded ones, the others, you'll probably know before watching whether you'd enjoy them or not.

One that seems obvious as a must-see for everybody, and then three that aren't as well known but are bigtime favorites of mine. First, you HAVE to see Lawrence of Arabia. After that, try tracking down Orson Welles' Chimes at Midnight (aka Flastaff), Jason Robards in A Thousand Clowns, and Philippe de Broca's King of Hearts.

For starters.

There are many Hammer Horror fllms from the 1960s....

I personally recommend The Hustler, The Manchurian Candidate, and The Great Escape. Dr Strangelove is a no brainer too.

I knew that would happen.

Definitely this, along with Psycho, I think it's one of few films from the decade that I can not recall someone giving it a negative review.

I don't know how anyone can dislike it, and when I eventually watched it for the first time this year I questioned why I had put it off for so long. The three and a half hour running length flies by. One of the most glorious achievements of cinema, it defines the word 'epic'and leaves you in awe at exactly how it was all filmed, the whole thing is breathtaking. Gotta be one of the strongest contenders for the #1 spot.

I don't like Spartacus either and I fully expect not to like 2001 when I get to it. Don't know if I'll even bother with Lolita.
