I say this as a film buff who likes Vinyl, Jeanne Dielman, Barren Lives and most of Godard's films.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921029597363212734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-11589667996457757792019-05-28T09:28:39.326+03:002019-05-28T09:28:39.326+03:00Thank you for your suggestions.

The Lion in Winter sounds like a good pick and I will probably go with that one.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-45488395289568001202019-05-27T18:00:58.730+03:002019-05-27T18:00:58.730+03:00The big miss I see in The List is The Lion in Wint...The big miss I see in The List is The Lion in Winter. Katharine Hepburn (Oscar), Peter O'Toole, Anthony Hopkins and some crackling dialogue. If you didn't hate a lot of musicals I would definitely recommend Funny Girl, with Barbra Streisand's breakout perfomance. She really is a force of nature and tied with Hepburn for the Best Actress Oscar. It's directed by William Wyler. marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-86720464689020193892019-05-26T22:58:58.181+03:002019-05-26T22:58:58.181+03:00Indeed.

Mind you, I am okay with symbolism and message movies are not necessarily bad. The problem is when the plot is sacrificed to drive home some obscure symbols. This I find very difficult to watch and the pretentiousness annoys me.<br />If you want to do some cherry picking for 1967, this would not be a cherry.<br />Something else, do you have some good 1968 off-list recommendations? I am going to include Bullitt and consider Yellow Submarine as the second.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-51256436187913424472019-05-26T17:48:02.602+03:002019-05-26T17:48:02.602+03:00I guess this type of movie isn't going to leav...I guess this type of movie isn't going to leave the List anytime soon!
