I get why some people probably love this virtuoso exhibition of physical comedy by Peter Sellers, but not only is it super racist, I think it should be re-titled “Social Anxiety: The Movie.”

EASY RIDER (1969)
Bikers, the open road, freedom, so many drugs. Who needs any story whatsoever? Well…
THE CONNECTION (1961)
This is sort of the closest thing you’ll find a movie by and for the Beat Movement, an interesting exercise but I’m not sure it actually works as a film.
BELLE DE JOUR (1967)
Luis Buñuel deftly portrays the inner sexual fantasy life of a beautiful Parisian woman in a way that the movies really hadn’t before.
AMERICA AMERICA (1963)
An extremely personal story of one young man’s journey from rural Turkey to America.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965)
You know almost every song, but wow is this not actually a good movie. This is probably Christopher Plummer’s most famous role, but he also hated it.
BONNIE AND CLYDE (1967)
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Watch Party of this seminal 1967 counterculture classic about Depression-era bank robbers.
8 ½ (1963)
Federico Fellini couldn’t figure out how to make a movie and made a movie about not being able to make a movie. I’m still trying to figure it out.
PSYCHO (1960)
Alfred Hitchock’s sort of crazy little thriller basically invented the slasher genre and is still studied by film nuts sixty years later.
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968)
Kubrick’s Science Fiction masterpiece is more of a grand artistic statement than a movie. I love it so much.
