And I still need to see a lot of the above. Just watched The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter a few weeks ago and it stank. Alan Arkin was great though. Acting and good intentions shot way out ahead of directing in American pictures of the '60s...

― Pete Scholtes, Saturday, 22 October 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

Chronicle of a Summer

Fantastic movie.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Saturday, 22 October 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

If this poll ever really happens, Branded to Kill will be in my top 20. (I wanna say top 10, but I haven't actually thought about it enough to say.)

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Saturday, 22 October 2005 23:09 (twenty years ago)

Dr. Zhivago
The Graduate
Guess Who's Coming To Dinner
Midnight Cowboy
I guess Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid is really on the cusp of the 70s, so I dunno.

― jim wentworth (wench), Saturday, 22 October 2005 23:25 (twenty years ago)

someone else can do this, if the jazz poll picks up steam I'll be swamped on that for ages.

Winter Light
A Shot in the Dark

― Chris L, Friday, 28 October 2005 00:01 (twenty years ago)

I was thinking about doing a Top 50 of 2000-2004 (still think the '90s had the most discussion, as more people had seen more films, should be close for this century). I may run that (closed nominations) if no one picks up the '60s poll slack.

― Are You Nomar? (miloaukerman), Friday, 28 October 2005 00:29 (twenty years ago)

After some soul searching (and a little time to get reacquainted with Excel Spreadsheets), I've decided to do the sixties poll. Watch for a new thread on Monday afternoon (CST) with rules, an addy for the ballots, and an updated and alphabetized list of the noms so far. Please save any more nominations for the new thread.
