That's cool! You're cousin is Joseph Stefano? ::

Second cousin. He wrote and produced many movies and television shows, too. He was the creative and financial force behind "Outer Limits". His last movie was "Two Bits". Some of my family members were extras. My Mom's name is mentioned prominently in the movie. He and my Mom were very close growing up. Very nice man.

Cool Hand Luke

Probably one of the more under-rated films of the 1960's.

There is something about this film that grips you from the beginning and doesn't let go long after the credits have rolled off screen and the room has gone dark.

I agree with Muzik about -

West Side Story

others -

Mary Poppins

My Fair Lady

The Thomas Crown Affair

Cat Ballou

The Music Man

The Sound of Music

The Pink Panther

How the West Was Won

A great list, Bluesboy. Wasn't Lee Marvin great in Cat Ballou? After all the great Disney films, Mary Poppins is still my favourite. Other great 60's films are:

Inherit The Wind (fabulous performances by Spencer Tracy and Frederic March)

It's A Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad, World

Lawrence of Arabia (O'Toole should have won the Oscar for his performance)

Dr. Zhivago (a little weepy, but great music, beautiful cinematography and a gorgeous Julie Christie)

The Great Escape

Charade

From a dusty MS Access db:

"A Shot In The Dark" (1964)--The real Inspector Clouseau stumbles into film history!

"The Ipcress File" (1965)--Sgt. Harry Palmer, reporting for duty, sir!

"Lolita" (1962)

"The Pink Panther" (1963)--The opening credits cartoon sequence was better than the rest of the movie??

"Sanjuro" (1962)--Don't mess with that sleepy Ronin!

"Spartacus" (1960)--The "Homosexual scene" was snipped out as quickly as possible!

"West Side Story" (1961)--Romeo & Juliet in NYC

"Yojimbo" (1961)--Good enough for Sergio Leone to steal and for Clint Eastwood to find international stardom :shades:
