Ned - We obviously have similar tastes. Pretty Poison is great movie that I’ve written about before but it didn’t make my final cut. If you look closely though Once Upon a Time in the West is listed. As for The Swimmer, I haven’t seen it in many many years (I think I was around 16 or 17 at the time) but obviously I should give it a look again so thanks for the suggestion!

Mango - I’m not exactly sure what you mean but besides the westerns just about every film listed above features great looking modern costumes and fashions in my opinion. I highly recommend visiting the links attached to the titles above since I often mention fashion when I review or talk about a film and include a picture or two. In the meantime you might want to visit the Cinebeats’ Flickr gallery where I store thousands of images from films as well as fashion mags, etc. all from the ’60s and ’70s

Jonathan - I’m guessing you haven’t seen a lot of the movies I listed because if you did you’d know that just about all of them have striking fashions. Heck, even Mia dresses great in Rosemary’s Baby and there are some great looking outfits in 2001.

Dr. Insermini - You’re welcome!

As for Mango’s question, just to get the ball rolling, The Thomas Crown Affair is an orgy of striking and stylish fashion. If that’s your interest it’d be hard to come up with a better movie for that then The Thomas Crown Affair. And Danger Diabolik and Barbarella contain some of the most amazing costume and set designs of the whole decade. I’d recommend those three for starters.

Diabolik and The Great Silence, however would probably get heavy consideration for my all time, as well, actually. I’m a big fan of frankly all of the ones I’ve seen here, which is nearly all of them, it’s a fine and interesting list. Thank you for sharing.

Luisru - Thanks so much! Stolen Kisses is one of my favorite Truffaut films as well so I had to include it.

Neil - ‘68 is a great year. Generally speaking the ’60s is my favorite film decade though because there was just so much incredible stuff happening. I really like Planet of the Apes too and it came close to making my list as well. If I made a Top 25 it would be there. As for Point Blank, it was released in ‘67 so it couldn’t make my list, otherwise it would of have.

But Night of the Living Dead, Planet of the Apes and Once Upon a Time in the West all sit comfortably on it. I think Point Blank probably would stand a strong chance of making it, if I made the list today.

Interesting. That is a fantastic year! And a great list. Thanks for sharing.

I think you might enjoy aspects of Black Lizard if you see it, Peter. I know you like Asian cinema a lot so you’ll probably find it interesting. Like most of the films on my list, it tends to generate strong reactions from its fans and its detractors.
