To celebrate National Classic Movie Day on May 16th, we are hosting the 6 from the '60s Blogathon. Per its title, each participant has listed his or her six favorite films from the 1960s and explained why they deserve such an honor!The 1960s was a one of the great decades for movies, spanning the transition from the Golden Age of Hollywood to a new era filled with young auteurs (e.g., Kubrick, Frankenheimer, Peckinpah), rising stars (e.g., Warren Beatty, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway), and influential international filmmakers (e.g., Truffaut, Godard, Fellini). It featured beloved films like To Kill a Mockingbird, cult movies like Point Blank, blockbusters like The Great Escape, and ground-breaking movies like Bonnie and Clyde. It also marked the debut of James Bond on the big screen and the birth of Spaghetti Westerns.
Join us in celebrating the most beloved films of the 1960s by checking out the posts below!

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this blogathon, Rick! I love the topic. :-)
I'M glad that you included "To Kill A Mockingbird". One powerful movie presenting a subject matter that still has implications today.
ReplyDeleteI have my post up at A Shroud of Thoughts! It wasn't easy listing just six. It could have been sixty! The 1960s is my all time favourite decade for movies. https://mercurie.blogspot.com/2020/05/national-classic-movie-day-6-favourite.html

Because Kim Darby appeared in two episodes of the TV series 'Ironside" I emailed her one and got a very nice email back.
