The vast majority of the films listed by John, Henry and wpqx would make my Top 10 for their respective years. Looking at the films you've listed from the 1960s and 70s, only [i]West Side Story[/i] and [i]Suspiria[/i] failed to make my Top 10s purely on artistic grounds.I do understand John's by-default listing of the latter, I couldn't come up with a single great film in '77.
There are three well-made films that I detest based on personal moral/political/philosophical points of view. Since I believe evil to be exclusively a human phenomenon, [i]The Exorcist[/i] didn't scare me. It's a crass recruitement poster for the Catholic church. I was repelled by the misogynist, puritanical message of [i]Looking for Mr. Goodbar[/i]. As a teen, I was seduced by the intensity of the [i]The Deer Hunter[/i]'s images and performances. Subsequent viewings have revealed the film to be deceitful and racist, with a Victorian take on male friendship and bonding that I find reprehensible. Below my list of 60s and 70s masterpieces (or damn close).
