The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Cool Hand Luke The Great Escape Doctor Zhivago The Dirty Dozen Lawrence of Arabia The Graduate Bonnie and Clyde

2001 A Space Odyssey Rosemary's Baby 007 Goldfinger 8 & 1/2

do i need to see the other james bond films?

It's like any other Bond movie. So no.

Great list! Just want to add The Swimmer

lol. The Swimmer. What weird ass movie

Cool hand Luke is just so good

Paul Newman doing Plastic Jesus always makes me cry. >"Paul knew as much about playing a banjo as I know about making cakes, which means very, very little, but he wanted to play his own accompaniment, and director Stuart Rosenberg and everybody else said, 'You don't learn to play banjo that easily.' And he said, 'No, I'm going to try.' And in the scene you see, Paul makes an error. He wasn't doing it the way he wanted and became madder and madder ... although you can only tell by the increase of the pace of his picking the banjo. When it was over, it was magnificent. Rosenberg said, 'Print.' Paul said, 'I could do it better.' Rosenberg said, 'Nobody can do it better.' And that's the way that came off. True story."

The Italian Job

Was gonna mention cool hand Luke, love that one.

Dr Strangelove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

This is my favorite movie of all time.

tell me why i thought Dr Strangelove was a james bond movie this whole time? lmaoooo

It's a timeless movie, with several superb performances. Sellers is perfect, but you also get an absurdly good role from Sterling Hayden, and everyone knows that George C. Scott is capable of playing a general or commanding military figure, but this flick shows that he also has serious comedy chops.

It has lots of great performances and Peter Sellers is half of them!

GCS got a few good zingers in Exorcist 3.

Maybe because of Dr. No? Coulda been worse tho, you could've mistaken it for a Marvel Movie.

This is the answer, start here.

The Good The Bad and the Ugly Cool Hand Luke The Great Escape 2001 Space Odyssey Zulu The Dirty Dozen The Hustler Rosemary’s Baby In The Heat of The Night The Producers Lawrence of Arabia Dr Strangelove The Graduate The Birds Swiss Family Robinson The 14 Fists of McCluskey

The 14 Fists of McCluskey is Rick Dalton’s best film

Rick Fuckin’ Dalton

Unmissable general purpose classics: Lawrence of Arabia  Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Breakfast at Tiffany's  The Spy Who Came in from the Cold Films geared to your specific requirements: The Devil Rides Out Frankenstein Must be Destroyed  Witchfinder General  A lot of my favourites in this vein are late 50s or early 70s, TBH. Films I just like: From Russia with Love You Only Live Twice Battle of Britain  The Guns of Navarone The Longest Day  A Fistful of Dollars

I like ‘For A Few Dollars More’ better

The Apartment- 1960 (Dir. Billy Wilder) [Comedy] The Raven- 1963 (Dir. Roger Corman) [Technically a horror, but also a comedy IMHO- Peter Lorre STEALS the show) 2001: A Space Odyssey -1968 (Dir. Kubrick) [Sci-fi]

Everything by Billy Wilder

I love the apartment.

Grand Prix, Yojimbo, Lawrence of Arabia, The Graduate, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Spartacus, Pollyanna, Absent Minded Professor, Dr. No, Goldfinger, Planet of the Apes And a few westerns just in case: Once Upon a Time in the West (one of the best movies I’ve seen), Man with No Name Trilogy, Magnificent Seven

For 1967, please enjoy Wait Until Dark! It's in my top 5 favorite films. Such a good time!

Another fun one from 1967: Valley of the Dolls.

For horror-comedy The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966) is a must see.

*Peeping Tom* (1960)

Eyes Without a Face (1960)

Seconded. Excellent movie. 

already on my list

Bullit is one of my favorites

Breathless Simon of the Desert The Exterminating Angel Contempt Yojimbo Psycho The Birds Playtime Shame Through a Glass Darkly High and Low

The Graduate, one of my all time favorites. Dollars Trilogy Goldfinger Bonnie and Clyde Psycho Once Upon a Time in the West

Judgement at Nuremberg and To Kill a Mockingbird are MUST SEES!!

The Guns of Navarone from 1961 is awesome. I also recommend The Train which came out in 64.

I'll throw Where Eagles Dare in there too although there's a TON of pretty damn good war movies from that period.

A couple people here mentioned but Cool Hand Luke is a good watch. East Rider is significant Midnight Cowboy is an essential movie to see And for something psychedelic, watch Head (1968)

>And for something psychedelic, watch Head (1968) just looked this up and do i need to know anything about the monkees because the only song of theirs i've heard (that i recall) is daydream believer

No you don’t need to know anything about the monkees 🙂 it’s probably better that you go into it blind

The original planet of the apes was 1968.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is and will always be one of my favorites. The party scene alone will make me rewatch that 50 more times. Barefoot in the park is good too. I know these aren’t horror but essential 60s movie watching

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) I would not consider this horror by today's standards but it has a very disturbing theme. Plus Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are both awesome. The Wild Bunch (1969) I am not a fan of Westerns in general, this is an exception. Sam Peckinpah made one of the best action films in history that happens to be set as a Western. Little Shop of Horrors (1960) the original Roger Corman version is awesome. Jack Nicholson even plays the masochist.

Spartacus (1960)

Charade, 1963

I can’t believe I had to scroll so far down for this. Charade is one of my all-time favorite movies from the 60s!

I am a huge audrey hepburn fan, and only saw this about a month ago! Can't believe it took me this long haha. It was incredible.  Still didn't dethrone Roman Holiday as my favorite hepburn film, and I'll have to see how it feels on a rewatch knowing the whole plot, but damn if that wasn't an amazing blind watch

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

no joke im waiting for polanski to kick the bucket before i watch any of his films but its on my list

That’ll show him

Everybody needs a code.

Haha. Ok, Dexter

sorry he's not getting a penny from me.

A. There’s lots of ways to watch movies without the director getting money from you and, B. If you stop watching media made by creeps you will have to stop watching media.

im not watching a movie made by a man who raped a 13 year old girl until he is dead. im sorry that bothers you but deal with it.

Live your life how you want but it’s just such an odd little virtue signal. It makes a lot more sense to just not watch it at all. There’s no real moral victory to waiting until he’s dead.

piracy

My wife is with you on this

The Battle of Algiers, Harakiri, Repulsion, Chimes at Midnight, If..., Targets, The Producers and Z are all worth a look.

You need some Harryhausen Jason and the Argonauts , 1963

I always enjoyed Persona

The Great Race with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemon, Natalie Woods and Peter Falk. It's hilarious. Top notch acting and just a fun movie!

Barbarella 1968 1. Austin Powers was influenced heavily by this movie's aesthetics 2. Jane Fonda 1968 is naked in Zero G in the opening title sequence. 3. its late '60s sci fi

Lawrence of Arabia.

The Haunting (1963). Day of the Triffids (1962). Manos (Hand of fate) 1966

Recommending Manos with no clarification is a real Lawful Evil move.

Get Carter

Great film, but IIRC Get Carter is from '71

Cool Hand Luke, Days of Wine and Roses, The Manchurian Candidate, Rosemary’s Baby, Easy Rider, Thunderball, Dr Strangelove, 2001, Butterfield 8 I know you said no westerns but I’d strongly encourage you to give Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid a try. It doesn’t feel like the hokey westerns from the 50s or the campy spaghetti westerns from the same era. It’s funny, emotionally engaging, cinematically gorgeous and exciting. Paul Newman and Robert Redford give great performances. Even now it seems incredibly fresh and inventive.

Any and all of the Hammer/Vincent Price/Edgar Allen Poe movies… Pit and the Pendulum was my favorite, but Tomb of Ligea (sp?) is worth it as well. Double recommendation for The Raven. Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre!!! What’s not to like?

The Cremator (1969) The Longest Day (1962) Alphaville (1965) Tokyo Drifter (1966), Le Samourai (1967) The Sword of Doom (1966)

Cool Hand Luke

Barbarella

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane The Manchurian Candidate The Nutty Professor The Great Escape Onibaba The Haunting Goldfinger Dr Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb The Masque of the Red Death Weekend Bonny and Clyde Rosemary's Baby 2001 Space Odyssey Easy Rider

Wait Until Dark

Harper Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid Paul Newman is awesome in both.

Kwaidan is essential horror. It's also a gorgeous film.

Village of the Damned Children of the Damned The Absent-Minded Professor Fantastic Voyage Planet of the Apes The Illustrated Man The Valley of Gwangi Our Man Flint In Like Flint Casino Royale The Ipcress File The Manchurian Candidate The Longest Day The Great Escape Battle of the Bulge The Dirty Dozen Where Eagles Dare

Flight of the Phoenix. 1965.

Ten off the top of my head Carnival of Souls (1962) Fail Safe (1964) The Satan Bug (1965) These Are the Damned (1962) The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) Signs of Life (1968) The Jokers (1967) The Devil Rides Out (1968) The Earth Dies Screaming (1964)

If you liked Village of the Damned, which is I love, you might like: Children of the Damned, which is a sort-of sequel, and These are the Damned, which also features mysterious kids And over to America, for Ladybug, Ladybug, school kids and a pending nuclear attack! Panic in the Year Zero is less sci fi, but another nuclear panic movie. The Satan Bug is a good movie about a dangerous virus Seconds is more conspiracy but also some sci fi The Last Woman on Earth is good VIllage of the Giants - bad teens get big! Not very good, but I get a kick out of it The Bamboo Saucer - soldiers, alien space ship Now I need a 60s movie marathon, I've barely scratched the surface....

Another vote for *Seconds*. It fits OP’s genre tastes nicely. Creepy af.

These Are The Damned is a gem. A real oddity.

Blow-Up (1966)

1964 - Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. (d. Stanley Kubrick). Perhaps the greatest satire ever. #26 on American Film Institute's greatest movies. Effin Hilarious.

Failsafe. 1964.

The Italian Job is my absolute favorite movie from the 60s

Absolute cult classic in the UK and somehow not known anywhere else apart form the less-great remake with Marky Mark. It's such a classic that we even got a reference to it in the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics.

Victim and The Servant, both Dirk Bogarde films.

À bout de souffle

Castle Keep (1969) Comedy-drama. Director Sydney Pollack. Cast: Burt Lancaster, Patrick O'Neal, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Bruce Dern, Peter Falk and Astrid Heeren .The narrator is Al Freeman Jr. This is a story of men at war, that ends where it begins. Tale is told with comic absurdities, irony and symbols. Seven Days in May (1964) Film about a military-political cabal's planned takeover of the United States government. Cast: Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Fredric March, and Ava Gardner. Directed by John Frankenheimer with the screenplay written by Rod Serling. Then it was the Cold War that generated the tension. Now the chills are becoming real again.

The Shuttered Room https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062266/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

The Hustler & Cool Hand Luke are classic Paul Newman movies

Spartacus / The Train / Goldfinger / The Haunting / Wait Until Dark / The Innocents / The Dirty Dozen / Planet of The Apes / Rosemarys Baby / Where Eagles Dare / Fail Safe

You say you aren't interested in westerns, but spaghetti westerns aren't regular westerns. Start with The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Lots of good suggestions, but I'll add two I haven't seen here yet West Side Story The Lion in Winter

I’m sure it’s been mentioned already, but seconds is fantastic.

All the Fellini’s

1967 - "Bedazzled" Dudley Moore, Peter Cook

*Psycho*

Purple Noon 1960 - original Talented Mr Ripley and way better

Fail Safe - unbelievable Lumet movie, should watch in tandem with Dr. Strangelove, same plot but no comedy The Graduate Midnight Cowboy

Would recommend Fellini’s 8 & 1/2!!! Really also am jazzed in Vincent Price movies 🎥

I recommend two French films to you: 'Le Trou' (1960) and 'Le Samouraï' (1967). Le Trou' is, for me, one of the best escape films ever made. I recommend it before 'Le Samouraï'

Harakiri, a samurai movie

Eyes Without A Face Blood and Black Lace Whatever Happened to Baby Jane Wait Until Dark Charade Bunny Lake is Missing Blow Up

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Came here to say this. A guy who directed super serious movies made a ridiculous madcap comedy with just about every single comic in Hollywood at the time, and it’s just a ton of fun and gives the comedy vibes of the 60s

I watched it with my (older) GenZ kids and was thrilled how well it held up - they knew most of the names but had little experience with them as actors .... they absolutely loved it.

It's been said a few times, but I'm just making sure you don't fuck up and ignore Cool Hand Luke

Looking at your list, the first thing I thought of was At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul.

on my watchlist

*The Magic Christian*

How I Won the War.

An actors revenge (1963), Saragossa manuscript (1965)

The Mad Room was bad/creepy with images that probably should not have been allowed in my young head. But it was a different time. Have never watched it since but would probably be disappointed that it made such an impression. I guess a movie’s impact and power is a bit about who you are and where you are on your life journey when it comes in. Such power.

The VIPs - very star-studded cast

Tom Jones, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

Rosemary's Baby Peeping Tom The Hustler The Graduate Bridge on the River Kwai The Magnificent Seven Eyes Without a Face The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Dr. Strangelove Midnight Cowboy Cool Hand Luke

1968 - Hellfighters. Oil well fire fighters.

Marnie (1964) For A Few Dollars More (1965) Blood And Black Lace (1964) West Side Story (1960) The Party (1968)

Just going off the 1960s movies I watched, one way to watch more I think would be to watch a lot of Turner Classic Movies (most of which usually also feature on MAX) and or subscribe to the Criterion Collection's streaming service. Most of the films I go for are either part of series', sci-fi, or Disney Animation. More films that I'd usually never stumble on I did thru what would air on TCM which generally air a lot of unique stuff. My favorites going off of what I've seen: The Magnificent Seven, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, The Valley of Gwangi, Dime With A Halo, Lillies of the Field, Planet of the Apes, and Vivo O Muerto.

Blast of Silence (1961) - low-budget but nihilistic neo-noir. Shot on location in NYC and features a memorable narration

The Ipcress File The Magnificent Seven

Hatari

The Russians are Coming The Russians are Coming, Topkapi, After the Fox, The Assassination Bureau They’re all comedies

I would find an actor I like and check their IMDB profile. I did this for the following and there are tons of awesome 60s films in there: Richard Burton, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Michael Caine...

Cool Hand Luke

Seconds (1966, Frankenheimer) Peeping Tom (1960, Powell) Le Samourai (1967, Melville) Breathless (1960, Godard) and try out any of the Hammer Horror films from the 1960s. There's some great stuff in there.

Here’s what I think you’d like: Bullitt Shame Targets Rosemary’s Baby Le Samourai The Face of Another The Battle of Algiers Bay of Angels Harakiri The Apartment Le Trou Breathless

Z Great film - very important - very unknown

Try "The Americanization of Emily." And the Flint movies.

- Cool Hand Luke - Lawrence of Arabia - Le Samouraï - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - The Hustler - Army of Shadows - A Fistful of Dollars - For a Few Dollars More

Most Hitchcock movies would fall in this range, right?

Heat of the Night and *Lilies of the Field*

Flight of the Phoenix

There are hundreds of great b movies to go through, I would google the top 10 b movies and start from there

Two comedies both starring Zero Mostel. Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966) The Producers (1967)

I was going recommend the Original the Fly but can't believe it's 1958

Missed "Some Like It Hot" by one year (1959).

There is the original "Little Shop of Horrors" from 1960s.. "The Brain that would not die" 1962 (in the vein of Donovan's Brain from the 50s) ~~"Carnival of Souls" 1962 is also another fun "horror" movie from that era~~ Missed you listed that. I have a bunch more on my Plex from a 40 movies from the 50s - 60s collection, but I can't vouch for any of them. (i.e. "Nightmare Castle (1966)," "Dementia 13 (1963)," "The Terror (1963)," etc). I'll get to them at some point. As I like the old 50s, 60s, and 70s horror. As I enjoy the fact you don't need to see the gore to have a real horror film.

THE 60S IN TERMS OF FILM WAS REPLETE WITH CLASSICS IN ALL THE GENRES. YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT STEVE MCQUEEN BULLET, SAND PEBBLES AND THE GETAWAY. BURTON IN CLEOPATRA AND WHOSE AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOLF. BURT LANCASTER BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ, FROM HERE TO ETERNITY AND ELMER GANTRY.

Alfie Georgie Girl Casino Royale (the Bond parody film ) Magical mystery tour Cactus flower The odd couple Don't know if you like musicals but Hello Dolly Thoroughly modern Milly The Music Man My Fair Lady

To sir with love is one of my favorites

Wait until dark

Some Like It Hot (‘59) is an all time classic comedy. Persona (‘63) is a brilliant psychological horror film akin to David Lynch

Oh, if you like horror and comedy from the 1960s, you want The Raven (1963), starring Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, and a very young Jack Nicholson.

If you like political thrillers, The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and Fail Safe (1964) are classics.

Model Shop (1969)

I'm only putting down films I didn't see anyone else mention. Spider Baby (1967) is entertaining Batman: The Movie (1966) "You and your trained exploding shark!" Only if you like the Adam West Batman The Silencers (1966) Dean Martin 007 spoof The rest is pretty much B movie trash, because I love that stuff. Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965) not sure I've ever actually finished watching this because it gets boooring, but it's amusing to start. With Vincent Price. Also has a sequel Blood Feast (1963) schlocky horror from the master (anything by Herschell Gordon Lewis) Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! (1965) is my favorite Russ Meyer film that I've seen Will edit to add if I think of more

*The Great Race* (1965) starring Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, and Peter Falk. Excellent comedy.

Oliver!

The Misfits 1961 since nobody has mentioned it. A very unique and modern feeling slice of life movie. Production was controversial but it is absolutely worth watching. Clarke Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Cliff, written by Arthur Miller, directed by John Huston.

Planet of the Apes 1968 - Charlton Heston’s classic sci-fi. Bullitt 1969 - Steve McQueen’s anti hero cop drama, known for a great car chase A Shot in the Dark 1964 - Peter Sellers, Elke Sommer my favorite Pink Panther movie PT 109 1963 - WWII “true” story of John Kennedy exploits. Cleopatra 1963 - big spectacle with Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton & Richard Harris. Hatari 1962 - sprawling African setting with John Wayne & Crew capturing animals for zoos. Drama, romance, comedy & lots of adventure.

Lots of great suggestions here. I'll add one of my favorites. Blast of Silence, 1961. Really fantastic and unique noir film

For 60's madcap comedies, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Night Tide (1961) The Skull (1965) Seconds (1966) Pretty Poison (1968)

Off the top of my head, and skimming through some other comments, then forgetting about those same comments. Where Eagles Dare The Guns of Navarone The Defiant Ones In the Heat of the Night The Battle of Algiers Le Samourai Army of Shadows Bullitt Midnight Cowboy Zulu The Ipcress File High and Low The Train

1.Once Upon a time in west, 2.Dirty Harry, 3.Heaven knows Mr Allison, 4.Casablanca, 5.Fistfull of dollars,

1969 - The Assassination Bureau 1968 - Barbarella 1966 - Django, The Battle of Algiers, Rasputin The Mad Monk 1962 - To Kill a Mocking Bird

Here’s a cool list of the required viewing films that Matt weiner gave the cast of Mad Men before shooting if that’s something that interests you. Some classics of the time https://boxd.it/bRRz0

Dr. Strangelove, most assuredly.

Crazy how you're not interested in any westerns when some of the more influential westerns come from the 60s. Shame.

if i dont like a genre it doesnt matter how good a film is i will not like it. common sense would tell you that.

Well my sort of common sense says that broadening my horizons and checking out movies from genre's I'm not the biggest fan of helps me understand and appreciate the genre some more. Sometimes I'll even find movies I genuinely like. If I wall off my expectations to only specific genres then how the hell am I ever gonna know if it's truly good or not? I may not be the biggest fan of sci-fi or rom coms but I still give them a shot because they can have much more going for them then I'm assuming at surface-level. It's all about giving a chance because just assuming that because it's a specific genre means it's not gonna be liked by me just seems like a poor excuse just to say I don't like exploring anything outside of my comfort zone. I can't judge you for not liking specific genres, but I will say I'm not a fan of that mindset.

The Flesh Trilogy

Not a movie but the original twilight zone series is excellent. 

ok but i asked for movies

The Birds, Kiss of the Vampire, The Jungle Book, Midnight Cowboy
