    Vertigo immediately jumps to mind. I don’t think it’s Hitchcocks best work, but it’s still a classic for a reason.

      Not to be pedantic but Vertigo is from 1958.

      To be argumentative 😁, Vertigo is at least one of his best works, probably in my Top 3 of Hitchcock’s work.

        I googled ‘60s films’ and that was listed as 60 so I went with it, if it’s not then sorry.

        Would appear I have nothing to offer…but if you want films from the late fifties then I’ve got a huge list 🤣

            Unfortunately my partner has no interest in films, let alone films from the 50s. I’d love to show her Rear Window, 12 Angry Men, North by Northwest and Rope but she’d be asleep before I got the Blu-ray in the drive…if you will.

    Define “classic”.

    2001: A Space Odyssey? A Hard Day’s Night? Psycho? Easy Rider? Alphaville? A Raisin In The Sun? La Jetée? The Exterminating Angel?

      I love that movie for the simple fact that it gave us what I consider to be the perfect song, Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

        The song prompted me to check out the movie. Hi soul family!

    Psycho is certainly an absolute classic.

    There were a ton of musicals during that period that, to me at least, were highly influential and some of my favorite films.

    Hello dolly, Mary Poppins, West side story, the music man, the sound of music.

    Cleopatra is supposed to be a cinematic masterpiece and a piece of Hollywood history.

    Breakfast at Tiffany’s is iconic, and one of the movies I can watch over and over.

    Night of the living dead, Rosemary’s baby, The Birds are some iconic horror films.

    2001: A Space Odyssey is a piece of sci Fi history, as is Planet of the Apes.

    Barberella is fantastic and fun.

    There are so, so many iconic films from that decade. Films that changed Hollywood and inspired so many films to come.

    A bunch of the classic French New Wave, Kurusawa, “New Hollywood” etc.

    If you watch Psycho (1960) and then watch Midnight Cowboy (1969) that gives you a good idea of what happened to American cinema in the 1960s.
