I’ve been getting more and more into films from the 60s with it being one of my favorite decades for movies. I’ve only seen around 30 films from the decade so I’ll give my top and bottom 5 to help a bit.
Top 5:
- Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock
- Sound of Music by Robert Wise
- Harakiri by Masaki Kobayashi
- The Trial by Orson Welles
- West Side Story by Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise
Bottom 5:
- Blood of Dracula’s Castle by Al Adamson
- You Only Live Twice by Lewis Gilbert
- Thunderball by Terence Young
- One Hundred and One Dalmatians by Wolfgang Reitherman, Clyde Geronimi, and Hamilton Luske
- Atragon by Ishiro Honda
I’ve already been recommended by friends to watch 2001 A Space Odyssey so I’m getting to that one soon. There’s a couple oddball films I also have on my list to check out soonish, but wanted to know what else I was missing. As for big films I have seen and left out, yes I’ve seen High and Low, Charade, Easy Rider, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
The Haunting is great, if you like scary movies. Also directed by Robert Wise, but very different from The Sound Of Music.
Or you might find it insanely boring (as I do). I’m not convinced Robert Wise could helm a well-paced movie.
