The 100 Best Movies of the 1960s The worst thing about this list of the best movies of the sixties from Far Out magazine is that they restricted the list to one entry per director, meaning that a whole slew of gimmes don't appear. However, it's arguable that the best thing about this list is that they did just that, because it highlights a whole slew of films and directors that are incredibly worthy but often overlooked. The source can be found at the Far Out magazine website. Oh, and there's no #46 for some reason. I wonder why.
