Movies from the 60's

It's just fascinating. The whole story is great. Directing ai its best, the melding between surrealistic and realistic cinema is wonderful. There are many scenes to love, you could even chose your favorite ones. (Mines are the Harem scene, the illutionist at the party, and the first dream scene), brilliant! Fellini practically invented his whole new aesthetic rules and fights against film conventional views. Marcello Mastroianni is great as Guido, he delievers some "real" emotions in every scene he makes appearance, so as the rest of the cast. A must see for every cinema lover.

Ingmar Bergman's best film! This surrealistic movie explores human aspects in a way no one else has done before. Bergman's head shots are wonderful, we actually reinvented the aesthetic of human faces on film. He really knew how to pull the story in a way you can actually understand, being the story so complex and difficult to get to it. And also, Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson make excellent performances, specially Andersson who plays the most multidimensional character, one of the most intriguing in any movie I had seen.

No comments. Just perfect! Except for the final that to date I haven't understood it. LOL.

One of the greatest epics out there!! Surely English epics are the best! Great performances, specially by Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif! With beautiful cinematography, the desert seems amazing in this movie. Also, charming and enchanting music, like a mixture between English military sounds and classic Arab music. A perfect story, in writing and directing, David Lean shows us a human side of Lawrence in his failures and victories. A movie to the history!

WOW! What a great movie! Maybe one of the most entertaining movies I have seen in a while, and not being a comedy. Packed with action and great,unforgettable characters. Clint Eastwood is superb as the namless cowboy, practically setting a whole role model for westerns. Sergio Leone is awesome as director, he truly is the master of head shots, they were amazing! Some of the scenes were just beautiful, and the storytelling was great, every character was well developed with their own stories and the mixture of those was brilliant. The whole theme was very original and will stick to me forever. And last but not least, its AMAZING music, specially the main theme (which possibly ANY one could recognize even without watching the movie) is perfectly suited and one of the most beautiful tunes I had ever heard. Overall an excellent movie! I'll be looking for some more Leone's work.

Who hasn't seen the famous shower-killing scene, at least as a parody? Hitchcock's most terrifying job, scariest movie ever, it gave me the chills.

Fantastic movie! Biggest expression of the French Nouvelle Vague! The jump-cuts, the amazingly entertaining dialogue, the realistic characters, the whole concept are just some of the things that makes this movie one of the most influential of the decade. I can even see that Arthur Penn was inspired by this to make his masterpiece Bonnie and Clyde. Jean Seberg is just gorgeous and very likeable. Jean-Paul Belmondo is also very good. A must-see.

A very special little film. A true classic of the 60's, a movie about youth and with pop culture written all over. With excellent songs by Simon and Garfunkel, great performances by the whole cast, excellent directing by Mike Nichols, a very innovative and original film that stays up to date even this year. Almost a transition between the American-dream era of the 60's, to the sexual revolution-drug abuse lake 60's-70's. It changed cinema in a huge way, like a bridge... over troubled waters... "Plastics!"

It made me sing, a great movie for the greatest band ever! Very influential, it's filmed in a same style as Walk the Line and many other recent films about singers and tours, except that the actors are really The Beatles!! A movie so full of power and energy that every Beatles fan should watch.

WOW! Violence and love in one perfect movie. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are amazing as a couple. Influential even to date, the heroes are the "bad guys" of the movie, how about that? With sexual themes and violent scenes that you wouldn't believe it was made in 1967! Beautiful face shots and cinematography was wonderful.
The whole cast is great, and I mean Estelle Parsons, Gene Hackman, Gene Wilder and the other actors and actresses.
And the end I think I would never get it off my head, depressing and crazy, a great ending to a nearly perfect film!

Three things I can say about this film: the wicked dialogue, stunning cinematography and editing, and JEANNE MOREAU! Every time she was on screen, the whole movie smiled at me. Her beautiful laugh, I'm in love with it. Her character is one of the best female characters ever on screen, with countless dimensions. Her singing for "Le tourbillon" gained my heart even more. Jeanne Moreau makes a fresh and stunning performance as Catherine in every way. Anyone could fall in love with her, and that was the idea of the movie. Overall, Truffaut made and OK job, not a very special directing achievement, but a good way to start. He had some original ideas, like stopping just over Jeanne's contagious laugh and the screen-cutting squares all over the film, an excellent job on editing. Despite there were some out-of-term camera shots and some confusing story lines, Jules et Jim has "THAT" little special that makes you love it! I repeat, maybe Jeanne Moreau has something to do with that.

A classic by Billy Wilder. A bittersweet comedy about a man seeking success in his career at any cost, and the complications of it. Excellent character development, a genius script and sublime direction makes this a perfect love story, not being a love story! A movie for all ages and will maintain its position throughout the years to come.

Very good, but still Federico Fellini had a long way to get to 8 1/2, some years after this movie. Some beautiful scenes, mostly approaching the ending, but some very dull parts also. I loved the part with the Swedish actress, very entertaining and well crafted. Also a very good story and directing, but still not his best.

Just two words that fully describe its greatness: Beautifull and Brilliant.

Toshiro Mifune makes Clint Eastwood look like a baby. He is the best Japanese actor ever! This movie was so awesome, the character of Mifune is so complex and entertaining. Visually breathtaking, as every Kurosawa film...

It reminds me of The Lord of the Flies, and it seems as if Saramago based on this movie for some moments in his novel Blindness. I say that because they all explore the loss of "Humanity" under certain conditions, when there's no authority, no rules, and no food. Though this is a very bizarre and confusing movie, its brilliance hsa no comparisson.
With a witty dialogue, and so many interesting characters is a movie you would watch from beginning to the end without getting bored, it doesn't matter that nothing REALLY important happens. Another Buñuel masterpiece.

Possibly the scariest movie I had ever seen, without any piece of gore nor stupid sudden jumps. Watching it at midnight wasn't a good idea. Creepy, yet sophisticated. The horror when you can't trust nobody. Great directing, great cast, great writing and great performances. The raping scene is just one of the most disturbing I had ever seen, I can't get it out of my head... Ahead of its time, staying alive 40 years later, and still being scary. They don't make them like the old ones...!

Though its story is not interesting in some moments, it's visually FANTASTIC. Swinging London is presented perfectly, it goes through the empty space in modeling and all that stuff. Also presents Vanessa Redgrave as beautiful as she could ever be, I just loved her in this film.

A little film but with great power. A movie about religion, naiveness, death, revenge, miracles, and so many more themes in less than 1:30 hours. Beautifully set on medieval Sweden, with great cinematography (as always in every Bergman movie) and an endging that left me very confused. One of Bergman's best!

A great movie about sexual freedom and perversion on the matter. With great performances by Jon Voight and specially Dustin Hoffman! Perfect direction and a great story.

Just the perfect movie to match Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild", The Band's "The Weight" and many other songs. Beautiful scenarios and cinematography. I hated the editing. Jack Nicholson is amazing. That's all I want to say.

Audrey Hepburn is wonderful, she's classy, beautiful and very talented. The movie was well made, but some things weren't good. Mickey Rooney had a terrible character, for example...
Audrey's dress is just the icon of style of the 60's, I think the whole cast had great customes.

Classic comedy!
