Decade in Review - 1960s

Of the previous decades that i reviewed, the 60s are my least favorite decade. I mean there were great movies in the decade like Lawrence of Arabia, Pyscho, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane, The Lion In Winter, My Fair Lady, The Apartment, Cool Hand Luke, etc.

• The 60s were the ending of many of the greatest directors, John Ford, Howard Hawks, Hitchcock. While they may have made movies into the 70s, their last great movies were made during the 60s.
• The 60s were a time of civil unrest so the movies reflect that. In The Heat of the Night, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, Lilies of the Field, A Patch of Blue are all movies that are race related.
• During the 60s many stars passed away. Gary Cooper in '61, Clark Gable in '60, Marilyn Monroe dies in 1963. Stars like Bogart, Flynn, Power died in the late 50s.

• Some other titles include 2001 A Space Odyssey, Dr. Strangelove, The Sound of Music, West Side Story, To Kill A Mockingbird, Dr. Zhivago, Breakfast At Tiffany's, The Magnificent Seven, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Vavlance.
