BEA's Best Films of The 60's [List]

[Applerill]

Dang, I've only given five fifties features five stars:
*Alice in Wonderland
*The Seven-Year Itch
*The Human Condition
*The Music Room
*The Life of Oharu

There's a good bit of other stuff I love from then, but this will still be an uphill battle for me. John Lennon once said regarding music history that "Before Elvis, there was nothing", and even though we all know that's bullshit, replacing "Elvis" with "Breathless" is pretty apt for me.

Fantastic.

The big shocker is Blow-Up in the top 10. Wasn't expecting that at all. And I really enjoy it, despite the fact that it was low on my list. I need to watch that one again; it's been at least 10 years.

There were still a couple movies near the bottom that I'm not familiar with.

But everything here is great. Like I said before, there's so much quality from all across the board. I can't even think of any major omissions off the top of my head aside from about a few Robert Wise movies, two of which were named runners up.

Just read through again. Such a good list. Yes Mercury feel free to post the next 50 in list form, that would be cool. Hell, post all 480 if you just get bored or something.

Also I'd like to point out that my predictions were relatively close. I called 2001 on day one, although it was an easy guess (then again so was The Godfather - lol)

The 50s are gonna be great too. Any early guesses for #1? I'm thinking either Seven Samurai or Vertigo, but considering our taste those films might wind up third best for their respective director (but probably not).

I'm not 100% sure yet but there's a good chance Ingmar Bergman takes my top spot twice in a row.

Yeah very good list, surprised by the likes of Cremator and Funeral Parade of Roses doing so well, but happily so (obv less excited about the Godard wankfest, but eh can't agree on everything). I would almost suggest maybe doing something else besides another decades list, mailny just to try something different though perhaps that's just for personal reasons as Im finding less time to really catch up on movie-watching recently, but if that is indeed the next poll will try to put together a decent list.df



Also I was thinking about doing a non-movie-list but still film-related poll, just making sure it doesn't distract from the next upcoming list.

I would love to see a Best Asian Movies poll as long as it wasn't overloaded with Kurosawa and Miyazaki. From Bollywood to Iranian cinema kung-fu to the crazy stuff of South Korea and Thailand, there is so much we can include in that sort of tournament to expand our anglocentric perspectives.

Looking forward to everything to come. A directors list would be sick. I tried to make one of those just for fun a couple weeks back. It was ridiculous. It'd be very interesting to see what we come up with.

But yeah, breaks in between decades charts would be fine, let's just try to go down to the 30s, then maybe do pre-1930 as a whole (unless a lot of us can claim to have seen enough films from the 1910s to separate it from the 20s - I know I haven't)
