Hitler
None Yet 0 Points 1962
Becket
Great 66 Points 1964

Burton and O’Toole grandly declaim in Becket, a big historical drama and big hit from 1964. Two leading-men of the old school variety, with big voices, they’re more than capable of extreme declamation in a love story between two men – unrequited. The bromance ended badly after Burton’s great ma…

The Sound of Music
Great 23 Points 1965

The Sound of Music is one of those iconic films that everyone should see. Perhaps for some, it will entail some suffering through 60’s era cliches and life-glossed-over portrayals, but it does entertain. Julie Andrews was in her prime and Christopher Plummer is the happiest you’ll ever see of h…

Really Great 66 Points 1965

Charlton Heston makes Michelangelo as operatic as Moses in The Ten Commandments. Facing off with Rex Harrison’s Warrior Pope in 1500s Rome makes The Agony and the Ecstasy a spectacle extraordinaire.

The 2¼ hour runtime wisely starts with a 12 min. intro that covers Michelangelo’s highlight…

Andrei Rublev
OK 5 Points 1966

Considered by many to be one of the best films ever made, Andrei Rublev is a sweeping epic about a 15th Century Russian priest by that name who was known for his religious icon paintings. Filmed by the legendary Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, it is a massive 220 minute story, broken into di…

Bonnie and Clyde
Very Good 66 Points 1967

Legendary movie about legendary bank robbers fails to live up to its legend. Over-the-top performances and violence that is far from the current cutting-edge make Bonnie and Clyde somewhat of a museum piece. That said, with star power and style points to spare, the movie is worth watching for…

Perfect 83 Points 1969

The Old West ended when Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hightailed it to Bolivia. Old Westerns ended when Paul Newman and Robert Redford became Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, outlaw charmers the likes of which the Silver Screen had never seen before. Four Oscars plus three additional n…

Patton
Great 83 Points 1970

Essential though Patton may be – as war movie, as American history, as biopic – it’s not the epochal statement the Academy thought they were canonizing with seven Oscars in 1971, including Best Picture. Back then Frances Ford Coppola’s script seemed subversive, undermining American militarism …

Serpico
Great 79 Points 1973

This early Al Pacino classic holds up well, especially as a prototype for the bevy of counterculture hero and realistic cop movies that followed.

Highly recommended for cop movie fans, Pacino fans and those interested in 60s counterculture.
