M<\/span>y top ten films for each year of the 1960s. These are always up for revision as I watch more films, revisit ones I\u2019ve seen before, and think about them over time. The films as listed in the \u201cBest of Year\u201d section are held fast at the end of the year (and include a listing of all films I saw that year as well as films released that year).<\/p>\n

Oh, and I don\u2019t really believe in top \u201cten\u201d lists, despite using the common nomenclature for the title of this page. This is going to be the top several films of each year, down to whatever point I think the films stop being worthy of inclusion. Might be eight one year, might be twenty-three another.<\/p>\n
