The Dirty Dozen (1967)
Probably the best OLD war movie. Good story, a lot happens, rather in-depth for an older movie. While most older war movies would have ended after they complete the training exercise, this one kept on going to show the best part, the war. Reminded me a lot of Full Metal…

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Pretty good, if you can make sense of it. Good drama and story. Exceptional special effects (not flawless, but pretty damn accurate) for a 60’s movie, especially considering they hadn’t even gone to the moon yet. The first 1/3 is very 60’s-ish, while the next 2/3 is remarkably modern. The…

Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Looks a lot like a student film in terms of the quality of the stock and formality of the image. Horrible acting, horrible lighting, bad editing, bad continuity, cheesy writing. It gets points for being so cheesily funny, not because it’s scary. But the cheesiness gets old. Cool seeing the…

The Odd Couple (1968)
There were a few funny classic Jack Lemmon moments. One of the best movies about conflicting personalities, because the characters seem so deep and real. They just don’t spend as much time developing characters in scripts anymore like they did in this one. Nowadays, it’s all about how much BS…

Planet of the Apes (1968)
If I had to pick one movie I had to watch over and over for its artistic merit, this would be it. And that doesn’t even count the story, which blows my mind (especially the ending). Truly timeless. I would love for this to be my movie. Great flavor. Well-shot.…

Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
Not for pregnant women to see. It’s almost a horror film. Somehow, it reminded me a bit of The Exorcist. Farrow was hot. She looked a bit like the girl from Species. Her performance was pretty good, too. A really freaky dream sequence, but I can see now why he…

My Night at Maud’s (1969)
A very interesting examination of religion, morals, and sex. Wouldn’t it be nice if the world was full of intellectuals rather than morons? Wouldn’t it be nice if the world was full of beautiful women who always invited intelligent and mature guys to sleep over? Neat, funny little story about…

Wild Bunch (1969)
Neat beginning. You can see how the film influnced Tarantino, with the crazy shooting scenes (which were pretty cool) and the walking at the end. Nice to see El Guapo again. One of the bunch looked like Robert Patrick, only he had a Texan accent. Is it me or does…

Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)
About as good a sequel as you could make to the classic original. Crummy story, pretty much the same thing all over again. The telepathics are goofy, the religious imagery is a bit much, and the last few minutes didn’t have enough impact for an end-of-the-world scenario. The final statement…

The Great White Hope (1970)
Nothing special. The beginning is a copy of The Set-Up or Body and Soul, I don’t remember which. The “slimy, two-bit, no-dick mother-grabber” line takes the cake. Wife-beating scenes don’t come very often. That silent, failed hero ending was pretty common in the 60’s. Didn’t care much for any of…
