    We obviously have rather different tastes.

          For me, 1966 was a great year for film. Here is a list of my favorites of 1966, taken from the below list of films from '66 that I really liked - films that I know I have watched at least twice - sometimes 3 or 4 times:
          Harper
          The Oscar
          How to Steal a Million
          Gambit
          Funeral in Berlin
          Kaleidoscope
          Khartoum
          El Dorado
          The Sand Pebbles

          The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming
          *The Spy Who Came In from the Cold *This had a December, 1965 release in the U.S, and a January, 1966 release in the U.K. As such, some sites list it as a 1965 film, others list it as 1966.

          Django
          Tokyo Drifter (Japanese)
          Our Man in Marrakesh

          Ambush Bay
          After the Fox
          Mr. Buddwing
          Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round
          The Poppy Is Also a Flower
          Not with My Wife, You Don't!
          Is Paris Burning?
          Penelope
          Triple Cross
          The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
          Rage
          Blowup
          Gambit
          Grand Prix

          The Ugly Dachshund
          Zatoichi's Pilgrimage (Japanese)
          El Dorado
          There are other memorable films from 1966 that I've only seen once, as far as I can remember:
          The Professionals
          A Man for All Seasons
          Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
          Torn Curtain
          Hawaii
          The Appaloosa
          …and last but not least: Manos: The Hands of Fate (yes… this one was very "memorable")

            That is a lot of movies. It would seem to be stretching the notion of
            favorite
            a bit.
            The Spy Who Came in From the Cold
            is listed as a 1965 movie on IMDB.

              Yes, I suppose I could trim that list down a bit. But I will leave it as is in the hope that maybe, if some of those titles have been overlooked by people, it will serve as a source of inspiration for them to go check them out.
              As to
              The Spy Who Came in From the Cold
              being listed as a 1965 movie on IMDB, I now see where technically that is correct. It was made in 1965 and released near the end of December in the U.S. - but not 'til the middle of January of '66 in the U.K. - even won the BAFTA Award for Best British film at the 1967 BAFTA Awards, which honoured the best films of 1966 - which I suppose is why I found it included as a 1966 film on the list I was using. I will go back and add that info above to clear up that confusion.

                    Those two didn't make my final cut, but I did include both of them in my list of over all favorites of 1966 in my above post.

                      what about thunderball? oh and don't ever support rotten tomatoes we all need to ban and delete this website from existence forevermore. they put pretty woman at just 65% and mystic pizza at 78%? put black christmas(1974) at just in the 70%s.
                      put gremlins at just 78% and rare exports: a christmas tale at like 95%? the comparisons of these movies on this website is so wrong it's criminal. and they put silent night, deadly night at just in the 30%s or 40%s?
                      all this is wrong bc it makes people who haven't ever watched these movies think they shouldn't watch them if they are rotten on this website which means under 60%. or make them think the movies aren't that good when they are like bc, gremlins or sndn so then they dont watch them.

                        Thunderball
                        was a 1965 film (just barely: it was released at the end of December, 1965 in both U.S. and U.K.).
                        Rotten Tomatoes: ehh, just ignore them. I've never let their ratings determine whether I should watch a movie or not.

                          But you cant bc every tv trailer mentions what its rt % is and bc its so respected by so many people they trust rt when deciding to watch a movie. i really want to find out how rt got to its place when its bullshit id like to watch a doc on it

                                    Amazing movies!
                                    Sult is one of my favorites, despite not giving it a 10/10 (8/10 is what I gave it).. "La Caza" is also a great movie, but haven't been able to see anything else by Carlos Saura, although I tried "Cria Cuervos" - but I can't stand Geraldine Chaplin, and I tried twice, but it goes nowhere. Have you seen it?
                                    "Persona" is my third favorite Bergman, a great movie as well.

                                          The plot is based on a real life story that happened to actress Gene Tierney
