Feeling Nostalgic----1960's films

Posted by adobesunlight (My Page) on

I ran into a few DVD's on Ebay tonight that just gave me a very nostalgic feeling and wanted to share. How about "Beach Blanket Bingo" and "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini"? Does anyone remember a movie called, "Baby, The Rain Must Fall"? And then of course there was "Peyton Place". LOTS of Alfred Hitchcock films come to mind too! Oh, and let's not forget Gidget! Can you think of others to add to the list?

The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, The Trouble with Angels, The Three Lives of Tomasina, The Absent Minded Professor, a lot of Jerry Lewis movies... I especially liked the Bell Boy, I think that's the one with the cool scene where he mimics 'the boss' at the board meeting table, with him pantomimes in snyc with the jazzy background music.

The Graduate, Dr. Zhivago, Darling, Ryan's Daughter, Laurence of Arabia. I think Julie Christie was the flavor of the month. Also, lots of I. Bergman b & w films, L'Aventura, Jules & Jim, Never on Sunday, Blowup.....

Who can forget the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef: For a Few Dollars More; A Fistful of Dollars; and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly? They made Eastwood the world's most famous actor for a time.

You say 60s, I think London. The British film industry made some fab stuff in that decade, both comedies and gritty realism (aka kitchen sink drama).

A Hard Day's Night
Help
Georgy Girl
Billy Liar
The Knack... and how to get it
The Ipcress File
Alfie
This Sporting Life

anyanka, although the Beatles films didn't do much for me I would agree about the British '60's Northern/and or/working class films of the period.

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
A Kind of Loving
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
Room at the Top
Up the Junction
Look Back in Anger
A Taste of Honey
The L Shaped Room
The Servant
The Entertainer

No feel good factor among any of these but powerful in their day.

Ah, those were great ones.

The Magnificient Seven
The Great Escape
Ship of Fools
Farenheit 451
Sand Pebbles
Two for the Road
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
