Hello all and welcome back. My last post was such a rousing success that I felt compelled to continue on. I admit, my creative urges draw me to fresher and uncharted waters. But I would be remiss, even irresponsible, if I didn't tell you which films were worthy of your attention. How else will you navigate the treacherous back alleys of cinema if I didn't list, in alphabetical order with no other explanation or reason, the movies that mark an entire decade? And I did you a favor by ignoring all films not made American or English filmmakers. Trust me, the French, the Italians, the Japanese and the Indians know nothing about cinema.
In the yesterday's episode, I made mention that my expertise did not extend to film making prior to the 1970s. After much research and soul searching, I realised that I was mistaken. I had seen at least 10 films from the previous decade, the 1960s. As before, the following films are what I consider to be the wheat among the chaff. Please remember that I have seen each of these films. While I appreciate all of them, not all are amongst my favorites but I could make an informed and enlightened argument to their inclusion.
1960 - 1969
2001: A Space Odyssey
Bonnie and Clyde
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Cool Hand Luke
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Easy Rider
Midnight Cowboy
Night of the Living Dead
Pyscho
The Wild Bunch
Honorable Mentions
Goldfinger
The Hustler
Planet of the Apes
