My Top 20 Movies from the 1960s

Midnight Cowboy ('69)
Rosemary's Baby ('68)
Lolita ('62)
Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? ('66)
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner ('67)
Bonnie & Clyde ('67)
West Side Story ('61)
The Sound of Music ('65)
The Graduate ('67)
The Apartment ('60)
My Fair Lady ('64)
Doctor Zhivago ('65)
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly ('66)
Oliver! ('68)
Psycho ('60)
Swiss Family Robinson ('60)
Breakfast at Tiffany's ('61)
The Dirty Dozen ('67)
The Birds ('63)
Ride The High Country ('62)

Yes, a lot of musicals in that list. Crazy, I know.
And, 2001 ('68) isn't included. I can't claim to have viewed the entire picture. Criminal, I know. The art direction and production in '2001' is enough to make it a visual victory for the ages.
