Holy schlamoly, it’s time for the 1960s! It feels like I’ve
been doing this project my entire life, but I’ve actually been watching the movies
for only a month a half. I’ve watched a lot of movies this year in addition to
The Oscar Project, though. In fact, as of the time I’m writing this post, I
just watched my 100th movie of the year!
I thought about dedicating a post just to that milestone,
but I ultimately decided to incorporate it into this interlude post. I figured
I’d already said everything I have to say about the 1950s as a whole; it had
the beginning of modern musicals, some pleasant surprises, a lot of
long/overlong films, and a couple of major disappointments. For those of you
who don’t want to read about my year of movie watching in excruciating detail,
my Best of the 1950s list is at the bottom of the post.
