From Django to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, we're looking back and ranking the best movies of 1966.
Just like the year 1964 before it, and the year 1967 after it, 1966 was home to countless iconic movies that have stood the test of time. Great movies exist in every year, of course, but there are always going to be some years that stand out over others. The following movies may have you feeling that way about 1966, as they were all originally released that year, and all continue to provide remarkable viewing experiences to this day.
9 'Blow-Up' Blow-Up is one of the most acclaimed movies of the 1960s, and arguably the most famous work of Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni. It's a slow-burn mystery film about a photographer capturing evidence of a murder, and enlarging various areas of his photograph in an attempt to get as many details about the apparent crime as he can.
What could sound like mere Oscar bait is actually super entertaining and easy to watch, benefiting greatly from a very well-written screenplay and some excellent performances, particularly Paul Scofield as More, who won a Best Lead Actor Oscar for the role. It might not be the very best movie of its year, but it was still up there with 1966's greatest, and as such, it's not an entirely undeserving Best Picture winner.
It's one of the most intense and realistic war movies of its time, presenting things in a way that's likely to make viewers feel like they're watching real-life events unfold on their screens. It's gripping and hard-hitting, and stands strong all these decades later as an essential film about revolution while also being a biting condemnation of colonialism.
4 'The Sword of Doom' Those looking for a samurai movie with a heroic figure at its center, and a compelling battle of good versus evil may want to stay away from The Sword of Doom. It's a relentlessly bleak and bloody Japanese film, with its central character being a swordsman without a moral code, putting him at odds with traditional samurai and naturally gaining him plenty of adversaries.
2 'Seconds' An underrated sci-fi/horror movie that may well have been too ahead of its time, Seconds has garnered praise in more recent decades, often being held up as the classic it deserves to be regarded as. It's about a strange organization that lets wealthy clients take the identity of somebody else, effectively through advanced cosmetic surgery, and the eradication of the person the client wants to become.
