At this point some of the years are starting to get lean on what I have actually seen,

I have tried this exercise for the sixties, which are shallow for me and think I might have better luck with the fifties. However, 1960 may be my favourite year because of these; Psycho, Peeping Tom, La Dolce Vita, Tirez sur le pianiste, & Rocco and his Brothers. Having two Italian films in there just makes me feel cooler by association. 8)
