ENTER! TV/Media Av Contest: 1960s

[auntiehill]

This week's contest is about the classic movies of the 1960s: the best and/or most notable films of a very tumultuous decade. However, just to make it a bit more difficult, NO SCIFI OR FANTASY films will be allowed (so no 2001 or Planet of the Apes, sorry). I will however, allow "normal" (no scifi elements) horror (Psycho). Movies only, please--no TV, books or comics.

For some ideas, I found this handy list of films of the 60s.

Standard BBS av size rules apply. Please do not post avs you do not intend to enter. The voting thread will go up Friday evening (ish).

My entry: one of my all-time favorite films, Lawrence of Arabia, starring Peter O'Toole.

Aren't James Bond and Mary Poppins SF/F?

Aren't James Bond and Mary Poppins SF/F?

I don't think the first James Bond remotely qualifies as sci-fi. It's been a while since I've seen it, but i remember it as a pretty straight forward spy thriller.

Does Mary Poppins not count? I'll change it if so.

The Sound of Music

I was actually thinking of that movie when I made my avatar.
