Hey GrayViners!

There’s just something about movies from the ’60s, isn’t there? The music, the fashion, the storytelling—everything had a certain charm you just don’t see much anymore.

Whether it was a sweeping romance, a laugh-out-loud comedy, or a film that made you sit on the edge of your seat, that era gave us some true gems that still shine bright today.

So here’s the question, GrayViners: What movie from the 1960s do you feel would still be a 10/10 masterpiece today?

Maybe it’s one you could watch a hundred times and never get tired of, or maybe it’s one that brings back a flood of memories every time you hear the theme song.

As for me, I’d have to go with The Sound of Music. It’s one of those films that just feels timeless—beautiful music, heartwarming story, and a whole lot of heart.

Now it’s your turn! Share your favorite ’60s masterpiece in the forum—let’s see which classics still have the magic after all these years.

Cheers!

I’m not original with my answer. My fav is from 1965. THE SOUND of MUSIC.
We rewatch BAMBI and THE JUNGLE BOOK. We sing along with all 3 of these movies. All are classics!

American Werewolf in London. I remember leaving the theater breathless. I've watched it several times since.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Thanks for sharing that @Hazeleyes ! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang really is such a timeless classic — it’s hard not to smile when you think of that magical flying car. Do you still remember the first time you saw it, or do you enjoy rewatching it from time to time?

Bambi

Thanks for sharing that! Bambi is such a beautiful and emotional film — the animation and music still hold up so well even today. Do you remember how old you were when you first saw it? That moment with Bambi and his mother still gets to so many of us!

West Side Story

Thanks for sharing that @catb712 ! West Side Story is such a powerful choice — the music, the choreography, and that Romeo-and-Juliet-style story never seem to age. Do you prefer the original 1961 version, or did you enjoy Spielberg’s more recent remake too?
