(October 2010 - August 2011) A healthy mix of foreign and domestic films in my Top 10 is a great indication of how the year played out. More quality films came out of this year, including the awesome trifecta of The Guns of Navarone, Judgment at Nuremberg, and West Side Story, all magnificent films. La Dolce Vita, La Notte, Il Posto, Two Women, and General Della Rovere proved that Italian films had a monopoly on international cinema. Breakfast at Tiffany's showcased the lovely Audrey Hepburn in one of her greatest roles, while The Hustler featured Paul Newman in a tough, real performance. Yojimbo is both familiar territory and a departure for Akira Kurosawa and it succeeds on a level of unique entertainment. One of the most pleasant surprises of the year is The Innocents, a spooky British chiller starring Deborah Kerr. Definitely worth checking out all of these films and several others.  

Top 10 - Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Guns of Navarone, The Hustler, Il Posto, The Innocents, Judgment at Nuremberg, La Dolce Vita, La Notte, West Side Story, Yojimbo

(October 2009 - October 2010) A very busy personal life made this year take an actual year to complete. This year offered a record number of titles for me and my overall perception is that everything was pretty average. Foreign films really stood out as the most impressive, while Hitchcock's Psycho is clearly the must-see classic. I did observe how films have advanced a bit in terms of daring subject matter, particularly Peeping Tom, Elmer Gantry, and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. Similarly, major advancements in filmmaking are evident in Breathless, which ushered in the French New Wave to American audiences and helped increase the popularity of international cinema in the states.  It's clear that movies are changing along with the times and I look forward to learning more as I progress through the 1960s.

Top 10 - Breathless, Hiroshima, Mon Amour, L'Avventura, The League of Gentlemen, Le Trou, Never on Sunday, Peeping Tom, Psycho, Spartacus, The Virgin Spring
