Too many for a poll. Just name it. Maybe talk about it.
Has to be made in the 1960s and has to be set in the 1960s. For example, The Blowup or The Graduate. Mine--a toss up between The Blowup and The Graduate. If pressed, I guess I'd give the nod to The Graduate, just because it's both more American and a bit more timeless.

mmmm prrrrrrrrrrrr LA DOLCE VITA
prolly my favorite movie of all times released in 1960. made in 59? if that isn't eligible then 8 1/2 there's no intrinsic merit in a movie "being american" or not. but fellini rules. |

No, there's not. I just mean that I like the way Graduate depicts things that are peculiarly American--in theme, content, and so on. It speaks to me more than a movie that doesn't do that.

I haven't seen it. I think I must.
That's why I also like Lolita, though that's the 50s, isn't it? I like the outsider perspective that movie has on the American landscape, so to speak.

HOLY SHIT MY BROTHER YOU MUST, YOU MUST!!! it's brilliant, beautiful, genius. just make sure you rent the criterion dvd, some of the older versions (shitty vhs) have cropped frames, generally suck, but scorsese bought the rights, restored the print (i saw it new!!) and the criterion disc eventually followed. |

Oh, yeah, Strangelove! Forgot about that one. Great!
Yeah, Nichols, Polanski, and Kubrick jive with my own impressions about the 60s in their movies from that time.

since you brought up antonioni with blowup actually i love zabriskie point, which to my post-boomer sensibilities looks very 60s, but is actually from 1970.
on the opposite end, pycho is a 1960 movie but it feels to me like the 50s others: a hard day's night Z <-- costa gavras is practically ignored in the US au hasard balthazar <-- bresson = genius le mépris <-- fucking fuck!!!!!!!!!!1 the beauty of that film!!!!!!!!!11 & faster pussycat! kill! kill! (you gotta have awesome b movies) & branded to kill - b movie or art movie? whatever-- AWESOME |

I'll second La Dolce Vita, but on the other extreme, I'll take Barbarella.

2001: A Space Odyssey is by far my favorite film of the sixties.
