Geez, allison coming in here dunking on 1961... a.k.a. the TRASH year apparently

You guys have made me curious about this. 1961 has for a long time (as long as I can remember) been the year with my highest average rating according to IMDb. I have investigated this in the past, because '61 is never a year that ever really stood out to me as being particularly amazing - certainly not compared to say 1964 or 1968. The thing about 1961 though is that while I don't have tons of 9 and 10 ratings, I have very few films rated at 5/10 or less, and I definitely have less low-rated films from 1961 than any other year that decade. Then again, I have also seen less films from 1961 than all of the other years that decade. In fact, my curve pretty much ascends upwards, from 1961 (70 films seen) to 1969 (120 films seen):

I have no idea what that really says about anything. Just curious how the low score for 1961 is replicated in my own curve and yet how I know it is my top-rated year. And by a bigger margin than I thought too. 6.97 average rating for 1961 compared to 6.88 average for next highest rated year (1962).

This crime drama is strong on the facts and details and gets off to a terrific start with gunfire heard but not seen as we instead witness the reactions from everyone nearby. The film's then going back in time less enticing though. The matter-of-fact narration is distracting - though it does get eerie towards the end when the narrator keeps saying what each person was doing "on the last morning of his life". Jason Robards is also very over-the-top.

It looks like you saw all the good films from 1961. I have a lot of films in my watchlist from 1961. I might have to watch several of them to boost the year, but yeah. So many films to see. About 72 for my immediate picks, but there are only 5-6 days left of June, so I'll have to pick and choose.

27. MONDO TOPLESS (Meyer, 1966) — A one-hour feast filled with electric guitar music, tape-recorders, transistors and, of course, topless girls dancing enthusiastically outdoors, performing a striptease or simply lying in the sun while they talk about men, seduction, being naked or their jobs as go-go dancers and models, it becomes a bit exhausting by the end. 5/10

I really enjoyed Clint and Wallach's con act here, and the subsequent shifting power dynamics and uneasy friendship between them, with neither able to ever properly trust one another. The film is also loaded with tension, even in the smallest of scenes such as Wallach visiting a gun store. The film feels a little unfocused in its middle section (American Civil War stuff) but everything comes together well. Divine makeup effects and music too, of course.

I really enjoyed Clint and Wallach's con act here, and the subsequent shifting power dynamics and uneasy friendship between them, with neither able to ever properly trust one another. The film is also loaded with tension, even in the smallest of scenes such as Wallach visiting a gun store. The film feels a little unfocused in its middle section (American Civil War stuff) but everything comes together well. Divine makeup effects and music too, of course.

Sounds like you liked this better than For A Few Dollars More... I concur.

I possibly have more favourites from the 1970s (have never checked) but I have also seen a lot more trash from the '70s than the '60s, hence the general lower ratings for the '70s. In fact 1975 and 1976 are weird bucking the trend years for me.

Yeah, I really don't know where those who think the 2nd film is the best are coming from.

Pretty glad that I saw the third film. Kind of amazing how long I put it off for; I've had the Blu-ray in my collection for over half a decade.

29. LE SEPTIÈME JURÉ (Lautner, 1962) — A dark courtroom drama, very well filmed, I liked how in the end it is not so much about justice and veracity derived from a legal system but morals and benefit of a particular social group, as one of its members cynically states: "truth is pointless, it's useless". 8/10

In a similar fit of guilt, I went looking through all my blu-rays last night looking for unwatched ones from 1961, and I only found one. What on earth happened in 1961 that so many fewer films were made that year? Or at the very least, so many fewer films that I seem to be interested in...
