movies of the 1960’s so long as the
atoms like tribe against tribe so long
will they be a little people for our
series of the best movies of all time
we’ve chosen 10 movies per decade based
on their iconic status critical acclaim
box office success and watchability and
just so you know we’re not necessarily

brotherly love around here
number 10 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance
Kid I never met a soul more affable than
you but you’re faster than the kid but
you’re still nothing but two-bit outlaws
on the Dodge starring Paul Newman and
Robert Redford and featuring a
contemporary soundtrack this wasn’t your
typical shoot-’em-up Western uh how many
of you can bring your own guns but in an
era when the typical shoot-’em-up was
falling by the wayside that’s exactly
what the genre needed set in the 1890s
Newman and Redford played career
criminals on the run from the law
the film itself was propelled by the
chemistry between the film’s main stars
along with the oscar-winning screenplay
number nine The Sound of Music with a
Sound of Music
based on a true story this enduring
classic is set in Austria as the Third
Reich solidified its grasp on the region

by setting their words to music if the
Nazis take over Austria I have no doubt
Rosella that you will be the entire
trumpet section against the all-too-real
backdrop of nazi-occupied Europe unfolds
a musical love story between a former
nun and a hardened Widow bites the tail
of a singing nanny who transforms the
lives of her charges paralleled the

number 8 dr. Strangelove who Foster and
in paths are acquired principles of

still in the midst of the Cold War this
Stanley Kubrick film centers on a
paranoid military general who dispatches
orders for a nuclear attack and the
subsequent rush to stop it but surely
you can disarm it somehow no it is
designed to explode if any attempt is
ever made to untaken it automatically
axon obvious commie trick mr. president
we’re wasting valuable
get rid of the club’s satirizing the
tension between the US and the Soviet
Union dr. Strangelove is a dark comedy
that benefits from Kubrick’s trademark
