The Hays Code of the 1930s, which governed morality in American films, started to fade away. By the late 1960s, the industry abandoned the code entirely.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that this decade shaped modern cinema\u2019s approach to storytelling. For example, <em>Psycho<\/em> (1960) is one of the first films to which the Hays Code did not apply. The film opens with an unmarried couple getting dressed after an implied romantic rendezvous. The infamous shower scene was also one of the first to nearly show nudity in a mainstream film.<\/p>\n<p>Film noir started falling by the wayside, and spy films spiked in popularity. The James Bond franchise started with <em>Dr. No<\/em> (1962) \u2013 and it\u2019s still going strong today. <em>The Pink Panther<\/em> (1963) started a smaller franchise, but with a more comedic approach to the spy genre, that remained popular for many years.<\/p>\n<p>Spaghetti Westerns (Westerns produced in Italy and Spain) also started in the sixties. I\u2019m sure when people think of Spaghetti Westerns, they think of Clint Eastwood. The \u201cMan with No Name\u201d trilogy made Eastwood a popular star and it shaped how westerns were made in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you haven&#8217;t read them yet, here are my picks for the best films of the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/top-10-films-1930s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>1930s<\/strong><\/a><\/span>&#8230;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/top-ten-films-1940s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>1940s<\/strong><\/a><\/span>&#8230;and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/top-10-films-1950s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1950s<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here are my favorite films of the 1960s:<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em>The Apartment<\/em> (1960)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1636\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1636\" style=\"width: 823px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0053604\/mediaviewer\/rm2981303552\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1636\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/top-ten-films-1960s\/the-apartment-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Apartment.jpg?fit=930%2C398&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"930,398\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The Apartment\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Source: IMDb&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Apartment.jpg?fit=930%2C398&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1636\" title=\"The Apartment 1960s\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Apartment.jpg?resize=823%2C351&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Apartment 1960s\" width=\"823\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Apartment.jpg?resize=300%2C128&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Apartment.jpg?resize=768%2C329&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Apartment.jpg?resize=710%2C304&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Apartment.jpg?w=930&amp;ssl=1 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1636\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">United Artists.

When a crazed general orders his troops to attack Russia, a group of politicians, generals, and soldiers must stop the invasion. Peter Sellers is at his comedic best playing three characters: a Royal Air Force officer, the U.S. President, and a German scientist (the titular character). Each performance, and the scenes leading up to the attack, are hilarious. Stanley Kubrick directs this gem of a motion picture \u2013 my favorite piece of his work.

Newman plays Hud, a self-centered farm boy who works on his father\u2019s ranch. Hud vies for control of the ranch, much to his father\u2019s dismay. This film is full of powerful performances \u2013 some of the best I\u2019ve seen.

I love how he takes simple subjects and makes them into something unique. Here, he tells a story about a family spending time on a remote island. One member of the family is a woman recently released from a psychiatric hospital after treatment for schizophrenia, and fears that it may be returning. This plotline, not to mention the rest of this beautiful film is extremely well told and filmed. The cinematography is one of my favorite examples.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em>The Manchurian Candidate<\/em> (1962)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1643\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1643\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0056218\/mediaviewer\/rm4029297408\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1643\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/top-ten-films-1960s\/the-manchurian-candidate\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Manchurian-Candidate.jpg?fit=756%2C434&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"756,434\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The Manchurian Candidate\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Source: IMDb&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Manchurian-Candidate.jpg?fit=756%2C434&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1643\" title=\"The Manchurian Candidate 1960s\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Manchurian-Candidate.jpg?resize=610%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Manchurian Candidate 1960s\" width=\"610\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Manchurian-Candidate.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Manchurian-Candidate.jpg?resize=710%2C408&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Manchurian-Candidate.jpg?w=756&amp;ssl=1 756w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1643\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">United Artists.

You would think a movie about three people on a boat would be boring, but you couldn\u2019t be more wrong! In <em>Knife in the Water,<\/em> a married couple is heading off for a little getaway on their boat. On the way, they pick up a hitchhiker. It becomes obvious that the wife has developed an attraction to the hitchhiker, so he and her husband begin to vie for her affections. Roman Polanski\u2019s debut, this film is well-made and well thought out. It\u2019s clear Polanski took a small budget and made it into something spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em>A Man for All Seasons<\/em> (1966)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1646\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1646\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0060665\/mediaviewer\/rm3855458049\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1646\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/top-ten-films-1960s\/a-man-for-all-seasons-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A-Man-for-All-Seasons-1.jpg?fit=1647%2C996&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1647,996\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1566065454&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"A Man for All Seasons\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Source: IMDb&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A-Man-for-All-Seasons-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C619&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1646\" title=\"A Man for All Seasons 1960s\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A-Man-for-All-Seasons-1.jpg?resize=580%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A Man for All Seasons 1960s\" width=\"580\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A-Man-for-All-Seasons-1.jpg?resize=300%2C181&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A-Man-for-All-Seasons-1.jpg?resize=768%2C464&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A-Man-for-All-Seasons-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C619&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A-Man-for-All-Seasons-1.jpg?resize=710%2C429&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A-Man-for-All-Seasons-1.jpg?w=1647&amp;ssl=1 1647w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1646\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Columbia Pictures.
