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:

The Oscar
How to Steal a Million
Gambit
Funeral in Berlin
Kaleidoscope
Khartoum
El Dorado
The Sand Pebbles
The Silencers
Lord Love a Duck
Penelope

The Sand Pebbles
Seconds
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.

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. -

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
