Nice list. My Dad used to tell a funny story about The Guns of Navarone. The first time he asked my Mum out on a date she said she'd go but only if he took her to a romantic movie. So he took her to see The Guns of Navarone. She wasn't impressed lol Luckily for me she agreed to another date anyway.

i'll get back to this great question after i've seen so many (international) 60s movies in the last few weeks
shareLooking forward to it. After reading your comment I realised that all my picks are American films so it would be nice to get some recommendations for international movies from the 60s.
There are a few British films that would make my extended list, like The Ipcress File, The Italian Job and A Hard Day's Night.
I honestly can't name my Top 10, because the 11th and 15th aren't that far away, and it would seem like I was leaving out a child if I was asked who my favorite 10 kids were, while I had 30 kids.
10 of these are non-English, and less than half are American
1. They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
2. The Battle of Algiers
3. The Swimmer
4. A Child Is Waiting
5. Birdman of Alcatraz
6. An Autumn Afternoon
7. Ladybug, Ladybug
8. The Happy Ending
9. The Misfits
10. The Face of Another
11. The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner
12. Midnight Cowboy
13. The Sign of the Leo
14. The Professionals
15. Le Trou
16. Il Sorpasso
17. The Incident
18. Persona
19. Never On Sunday
20. David and Lisa
21. Hombre
22. Too Late Blues
23. Dry Summer
24. High and Low
25. Too Late Blues
and there's still many great ones left. Here's an easy way to find out if you rate on IMDB
