The Best 1960's movies, ever:

Hi, Dazed. Although I've heard of "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning", I've never seen it. Ditto for "Billy Liar".

As for "A Taste of Honey", "A Kind of Loving", and "Alfie", I've admittedly never heard of these particular films, much less seen them. Thanks for your info. Sorry I didn't respond sooner.

Loved A Taste of Honey!
I like Rita Tushingham. I don't know what it is about her, but she's interesting to watch.

A Man for All Seasons is one of my all time favorite movies since I was a kid. Paul Scofield's performance was powerful.

I've also seen "Man for All Seasons", when it first came out, when I was a teenager. I couldn't understand what it was about, but I enjoyed it. I've forgotten this particular film.

"La Dolce Vita", "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Once Upon a Time in the West" were also quite good.

One thing about pre-1970's movies is that the photography was more consistent, with a smoother grain, and not all dotted pixtels like today's photos/movies are.

Many of the pre-1970's films, especially those in the 1960's, had more style, and more substance in the form of a comprehensive story to them.

I'm not sure if I ever saw "Cool Hand Luke" on TV, or not. I might have. That one starred Paul Newman, didn't it?

I forgot to add "Exodus" to my list. I enjoyed "Exodus" when I saw it on TV and once on video, although I found it a bit on the schmaltzy side. The book on which it was based was better.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate". Cool movie.

Cool Hand Luke is an excellent movie. While you're at it though, don't forget Hud.

Thanks for the list, kspkap. Those are neat movies, also. I forgot about "Spartacus", however.

Although I never did see either "In Cold Blood", or "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?", I did see both "Rosemary's Baby" and "Psycho" on TV, long after they were both out of date.

I enjoyed "Psycho", and I immediately recognized Simon Oakland, who'd also played Officer Krupke in the film version of "West Side Story".

I feel that the movie version of "Rosemary's Baby" was a tad overrated, however. I liked the book on which it was based much better.

Cushing had better horror films than this one

I remember seeing "Casino Royale" (the original one) back in 1965. I never did see "Dr. No", and I don't think that either David Niven or Peter Sellers were in "Casino Royale."

I never saw "Battle of Algiers", or most of the other movies on your list, but I did see "Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner", which I liked a great deal.
