Jeremy: I've gone back and commented on your other tops-of-the-decade entries. For the '60s I've seen 7/10 of your films (haven't seen TWO OR THREE..., LIBERTY VALANCE [it's on TCM next month-- I have an appointment with this movie at LONG last!], or REPULSION. We had 4 out of 10 in common (seems to be our #).

My top 10 of the 1960s:
1. The Wild Bunch
2. Dr. Strangelove
3. Belle de Jour
4. The Apartment
5. The Graduate
6. Bonnie and Clyde
7. 2001
8. Psycho
9. West Side Story
10. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Following the one film per director rule, 2001 (!) and Virginia Woolf would have to come off and I'd add #9 Blow-Up and #10 The Hustler.

Interesting that neither one of us chose LAWRENCE OF ARABIA to be in our 10s...
