This is my highest rated year according to my IMDb stats (with 1964 a rather distant second) and putting my list together, I could tell why; a film full of great movies from all around the globe, though the best of them is still an English language film from Britain.

If I'm going to leave out 5 of the very best-known non-American films I guess I'll leave off this as well, which needs no help from me:

L'année dernière à Marienbad

and I'm not a big fan of many of the best-known American films for this year, with the possible exceptions of West Side Story and One, Two, Three but both of those would need another viewing too after 25+ years

Other contenders/HM:

Accatone
Aprili
Balti zvanie
Barabbas
Blast of Silence
The Children's Hour
The Comancheros
The Deadly Companions
El Cid
The Exiles
Fi baitina rajul
The Innocents
Katok i skripka
Kohayagawa-ke no aki
Komal Gandhar
The Ladies Man
The Man in the Back Seat
The Mask
Mosura
Mr. Sardonicus
Mysterious Island
Ningen no jôken
One Hundred and One Dalmatians
Pit and the Pendulum
Plácido
The Seventh Commandment
Splendor in the Grass
Swiadecto urodzenia
A Taste of Honey
Taste of Fear
Teen Kanya
Too Late Blues
Victim


Yet to see: a great many, and the number seemed to keep growing as I looked more at the year, even as I whittled down my watchlist I saw it sprout more branches. But the ones that seem most likely to make an impact here that I just didn't get to are Léon Morin, prêtre and Matka Joanna od Aniolów (which I'll probably watch next month for the horror challenge anyway). Lots more from Italy, France and Japan in particular.

Comment: A terrific year, but then I say that about just about every year. I guess if you like most genres and are open to arthouse films, experimental stuff and shorts and documentaries, and are a big softie :D like me that's not so surprising. What is kind of amazing about the 60s in general, with this year certainly bearing it out, is how poor a period it was for American cinema even while much of the rest of the world had finally recovered fully from WWII, and we see so much genius elsewhere even while the USA is mired in truly dreadful romantic comedies and mostly very bloated musicals and religious epics (at least until the last couple of years of the decade). There are certainly some bright spots in America - some really good westerns and crime films for instance - but overall I'm mostly looking elsewhere for quality in this year, with France, Italy, Japan and the UK among the leaders, while relative upstarts like Egypt, Iran, Brazil, etc, are just starting to make themselves felt (at least in retrospect - how much play these films actually got outside of their home countries when new, I don't know.
It was the truth, vivid and monstrous, that all the while he had waited the wait was itself his portion..
