Lance, I need a question answered before I can make my list. What exactly counts as a...movie?
I love the inclusion of Playtime in your list, Lance. It almost made mine. 2001 also barely missed.
1. Jules and Jim (Truffaut, 1962)
2. Last Year at Marienbad (Resnais, 1961)
3. Andrei Rublev (Tarkovsky, 1969)
4. L'eclisse (Antonioni, 1962)
5. 8 1/2 (Fellini , 1963)
6. The Fire Within (Malle, 1963)
7. Breathless (Godard, 1960)
8. Peeping Tom (Powell, 1960)
9. Le Samourai (Melville, 1967)
10. Black God, White Devil (Rocha, 1964)
Your top 2 Leone really kicked ass that decade.
1. From Russia With Love - Young - 63
I was very tempted to put this on my list. The best Bond film by far.
Damn, I just lost a bet.
Nice to see alternative picks from Antonioni, Fellini and Godard. I'm a big fan of all three you went with as well. Really don't care for Truffaut unfortunately. Also, Le Samourai was in contention for my own list.
Ha, what was the bet?
Not entirely sure which direction you're going with this, but feel as free as you want to include things. There's no reason not to include short films for example, anything from under a minute long to just under an hour, sure why not. I'd say no television series, but certain miniseries-type projects or such (i.e. Berlin Alexanderplatz or the television version of Fanny and Alexander) should be allowed.
Truffaut over Antonioni is an unforgivable offense.
You, sir, are wrong.
I'm giving him a hard time, as per usual. I do like Jules and Jim though. But it's the only Truffaut I really respond to, whereas I do genuinely believe Antonioni might be the most artistically vital filmmaker to really come to prominence that decade.
