I consider The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as 66, which will explain it's absence here. I've also only seen 14 films from 67, so bear with me.

I also wanted it in my back-pocket in case we do 1966.



Cool Hand Luke would probably be my alternate.



You might be right.



I can't help it. Love Spencer Tracy.



I don't know if I actually feel it's award worthy, but it's a memorable role and I have to work with what I've seen.



Same. None of my options really wowed me.




I mostly went with The Graduate for subtext reasons. Truth be told I probably prefer Cool Hand Luke.



Conrad Hall rules.



It has serious pacing issues, but the action scenes are put together pretty well.



Movie is terrible, but that song is catchy. I'm also not terribly fond of "You Only Live Twice". Too mellow for my tastes. I guess "The Look of Love" is pretty mellow too, but I like that song.





In general the Academy has treated the Bond series like shit. I understand these movies aren't the kind to be pulling in Best Picture nominations (even if I ran the Academy I'd only put a few up for that prize) but how they were snubbed in technical and musical categories so often is bewildering.

I've only seen 10 films from 64...here we go.

It's an action movie that takes place on water. Even Doomsday is a fan.

Dracula @dukeleto Deexan

This proves nothing.



It's an awesome song, but I haven't seen that movie so I can't vote for it.

Kevin Costner drank his own pee. That deserves an Oscar.

Gangster's Paradise will likely be played at my funeral.

Never seen it, can't fathom 3 hours of Costner doing Waterworld 2: On Apocalyptic Land.  You can't hide behind Doomsday forever!
