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:

  1. Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock
  2. Sound of Music by Robert Wise
  3. Harakiri by Masaki Kobayashi
  4. The Trial by Orson Welles
  5. West Side Story by Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise

Bottom 5:

  1. Blood of Dracula's Castle by Al Adamson
  2. You Only Live Twice by Lewis Gilbert
  3. Thunderball by Terence Young
  4. One Hundred and One Dalmatians by Wolfgang Reitherman, Clyde Geronimi, and Hamilton Luske
  5. 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.

Yojimbo - samurai action/comedy

Samurai Rebellion - serious samurai (also Mifune)

Young Girls of Rochefort - French musical that will make you smile the whole time

Sword of Doom - reverse samurai where you follow the bad guy (and oh what a performance it is)

Le Samourai - French hit man movie with Alain Delon

The Apartment - one of the best written comedies of all time

Playtime - utterly unique French film that bankrupted the director (much to everyone’s loss)

The Dollars Trilogy - where spaghetti westerns were born and still some of the best music ever put on film

Pale Flower - the most noir I’ve ever seen a film achieve.

8 1/2 - a film about making film and much more

Tokyo Drifter - mediocre story that oozes style and has the incredible use of limited colors.

More:

Dirty Dozen, Butch Cassidy, Mary Poppins, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, and several others that have already been mentioned.
