This is a great list! I’ve only seen about 10 of these so far, but the 60’s aren’t a decade I’m super familiar with. I’m working on filling in some gaps in my film history knowledge this year so hopefully I’ll be able to check some more of these off soon. I really want to get to The Graduate, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, and Splendor in the Grass soon.

I have learned to appreciate older movies so much more after going back and watching all these movies over the last few years. I used to think I didn't like old westerns and then I saw a 'A Fistful of Dollars' and was like, no, they just need to have Clint Eastwood in them! lol

It was really tough for me to choose between 'Psycho' and 'To Kill A Mockingbird'. I've loved 'Psycho' forever but TKAM has my all-time favorite movie scene (in the courtroom after the trial is over... makes me cry every time).
