A few film favorites from long ago: My hits from 1965

 


A favorite practice of mine at this time of year is look back over the years and consider the my favorite films a given year, and today I'm looking at the year 1965, simply because it's 2025, and I wanted to review what Hollywood offered 60 years ago.

My list includes personal favorites, a few that genera audiences also liked, and one or two that did well at the Oscars. The list also includes a few that didn't do well at the box office, but that I've enjoyed again and again.  Here's my list, in no particular order:

"Doctor Zhivago"

"Cat Ballou"

"The Great Race"

"The Sound of Music"

"In Harm's Way"

"Von Ryan's Express

"The Greatest Story Ever Told"

"Shenandoah"

"The Sons of Katie Elder"

"Major Dundee"

And one other: A personal favorite, that appears here as sentimental favorite from my childhood - "Beach Blanket Bingo." 

Those are my favorites. I'm always interested in learning what my readers think. Please post a comment a or question.
