From 8 1/2 to The Graduate to Psycho, this is Collider's ranking of the best movies of the 1960s.
Every decade since cinema's inception has seen the release of numerous classic films, but even so, the 1960s feel particularly special within the medium's history. There was a certain level of freedom technologically, given factors like the adoption of wide-screen formats that had taken off in the 1950s and more freedom to shoot in color or black-and-white.
It's about a young woman becoming a carer for the seven children of a widower, and takes place in Austria shortly before the start of World War II. Those who don't like traditional musicals might not be crazy about The Sound of Music, but it's a classic for a reason, and does ultimately remain beloved by many to this day.
21 'Yojimbo' An excellent samurai film that's more about building tension than it is delivering explosive action, Yojimbo is one of the best movies in this genre directed by Akira Kurosawa. It's about a charismatic wanderer wandering into a town that's being torn apart by a gang war, with said lone wolf adopting a novel strategy for improving the way of life for the people living there.
19 'War and Peace' Of the numerous War and Peace film and TV adaptations out there, few can claim to be quite as epic as this version released in four parts throughout the mid-1960s. It's a Russian adaptation that uses its seven-hour runtime to get a decent amount of Leo Tolstoy's iconic novel in one film .Following numerous characters over many years, War and Peace is a sweeping epic that combines larger-than-life romantic drama and even larger war sequences into one epic.
It's an excellently told story and one with the kind of pacing and brazenness that gives it a sort of timeless quality. Also commendable are the performances; not just Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty in the titular roles, but also the strong supporting cast that includes Gene Hackman and even a brief cameo from Gene Wilder.
14 'The Great Escape' With an impossibly cool cast that includes the likes of Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Richard Attenborough, and of course Charles Bronson, The Great Escape lives up to its title by being truly great. It's perhaps the definitive prison escape movie, playing out over the course of almost three hours and detailing said escape being planned and executed, and then further time devoted to its aftermath.
It's a buddy movie and a Western wrapped up in one, following two charismatic outlaws as they go on the run from the law, and get in increasing amounts of trouble from scene to scene. It's a movie that's both funny and heartfelt, and it does all this while also having constant forward momentum and plenty of fun action/adventure scenes, overall standing as an example of near-perfect 1960s entertainment.
9 'Lawrence of Arabia' Lawrence of Arabia stuns because not only is it one of the biggest epics of all time, but it's also amazingly effective as a personal, intimate, and thought-provoking biopic. The figure at its center is T.E. Lawrence, a British officer who got wrapped up in a conflict during the First World War, and then saw his life take an incredibly interesting turn in the war's aftermath.
