3rd grade? Damn, we some got young kids on this fucking site. I was 19 when I saw that shit in the theater.

I was kidding to just go along with the pic. I was around the same age.

Really? I actually think the 1960s was kind of shitty. Lots of very weird, seemingly drug-induced films from that decade.

But the 70s. . . That's the era where guys like Scorsese, Spielberg, Coppola, Lucas, Stone and the Scott Bros really broke onto the scene. It was like a re-birth of film.

I agree that the 70s was also great, but the 60s also was re-birth for film as it was the decade when directors finally ditched the "stage feel" and innovated a lot of the stuff that the directors you listed would come to know as fundamentals a few years later, much in the way that the drug induced music of the 60s innovated what is now the fundamentals of rock n' roll. Many genres such as westerns (greatest decade no question), action/war, and horror took their next steps in the 60s. There were a lot of drug movies to be sure, just as there was a lot of psychedlic rock, but I would not say it is fair to use that to represent the decade as a whole.

List of my faves from the 60s (apologies if some are from 1970-71, I did it from memory):


Night Of The Living Dead
Dr. Strangelove
The Dollars Trilogy
Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
True Grit
El Dorado
The Comancheros
Hombre
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The Magnificent Seven
Hang 'Em High
The Hustler
Easy Rider
The Wild Bunch
2001: A Space Oddysey
Cape Fear
Cool Hand Luke
Planet of the Apes
Dirty Dozen
Kelly's Heroes
The Longest Day
Rosemary's Baby
The Great Escape
Where Eagles Dare
Battle of Britain
Guns of Navarone
Mutiny of the Bounty
The Thomas Crown Affair
Bullitt
The Cincinnati Kid
Once Upon A Time In The West
Dr. No
Goldfinger
Dirty Harry
From Russia With Love
The Graduate
Lawrence of Arabia
In The Heat of the Night
Psycho
The Birds

But in the end, the discussion doesn't matter much because I also agree that the 70s were amazing too.

Didn’t read every page. Anyone mention Planet of the Apes? Classics.

Old Yeller was another favorite, as were most of John Wayne movies.


Edit: I see it was mentioned. Still, worth mentioning more than once.

That's an interesting point and I could see how you could arrive there. I suppose the 60s was something of a transition decade, moving from the old, stage-based style of all the previous decades into a newer style of filmmaking that has lead us to where we are today. I do think it was a bit of a rocky transition, but you've given me a new way to think about it.

The Thing, b&w version is a great movie. Though the 1982 is one of my all time favorites.

Night of the Living Dead
