Best Film of 1968 (ongoing survey)
A quick note:
I know we've got polls like this all the time around here, but I figure this one will be a little more comprehensive and perhaps even informative. This thread will be for your pick for best film released during 1968 (think Oscar considerations for what's eligible). I'm not making it a poll because whether you like it or not, that would influence some people's choice. Results will be posted in this thread, and all subsequent threads for each year, and they will be ongoing... so you can still vote here even weeks after other year's polls have begun. Please start your post with your #1 film from 1968 (try to limit it to one - after all, that's the point - two at the most (I'll split the vote)), and yes, discussions are more than welcome! Current Leader -- 2001: A Space Odyssey All Years: 2000 -- Requiem For a Dream* 1999 -- Fight Club* 1998 -- (currently) Rushmore 1997 -- (currently) Boogie Nights 1996 -- Fargo* 1995 -- (currently) Braveheart 1994 -- Pulp Fiction* 1993 -- Schindler's List* 1992 -- Unforgiven* 1991 -- Silence of the Lambs* 1990 -- Goodfellas* 1989 -- Do the Right Thing* 1988 -- Die Hard* 1987 -- Full Metal Jacket* 1986 -- (currently) Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1985 -- Back to the Future* 1984 -- Ghostbusters* 1983 -- Return of the Jedi* 1982 -- (currently) Blade Runner 1981 -- Raiders of the Lost Ark* 1980 -- (currently) Empire Strikes Back 1979 -- Apocalypse Now* 1978 -- (currently) The Deer Hunter 1977 -- Star Wars* 1976 -- Taxi Driver* 1975 -- Jaws* 1974 -- The Godfather: Part II* 1973 -- (currently) The Exorcist 1972 -- The Godfather* 1971 -- A Clockwork Orange* 1970 -- Patton* 1969 -- (currently) The Wild Bunch 1968 -- 2001: A Space Odyssey* 1967 If you haven't voted on the previous years, feel free to go back and do so. *Poll closed, winner declared.

Based on the quality of the films I've been fortunate enough to see from '68, this would be the best year of cinema I know of! Of course I've only seen 3 from the year, but they're all absolutely briliant.
My #1 film of all time, Kubrick's greatest of his many masterpieces gets my vote: 1) 2001: A Space Odyssey - 10/10 2) Rosemary's Baby - 10/10 3) The Odd Couple - 9/10 Unfortunately Siskel and Ebert's lists have run out. If you know of any lists from Pauline Kael or any other respected critic or even publication from '68 or any year farther back, please post them or send me an email. |

My vote goes to 2001 and I have no doubt that will win this poll. It's not the masterpiece some claim it is, but it is a pretty cool ride.
I say wait for Monsters Inc to do 2001 poll.

2001, defintiely.
And as for the poll above, I voted "wait for monsters inc". It's not my favorite 2001 movie, but I still love it and it deserves to be an option in the 2001 poll. ![]()

Back then, my favorite movie was The Love Bug (I was 6).
In retrospect, that wasn't quite as good as it seemed at the time, so I vote for 2001

Those films can be found listed at this Top Films List site: http://www.filmsite.org/greatlists.html or more specifically, here: http://www.filmsite.org/filmreg.html they are unfortunately arranged by alphabetical order, not by year. Quote:

Planet Of The Apes
2001 provided some interesting ideas about space travel - but the film is noticeably lacking in plot and character. IMHO anyway... -matt |

My top 10 (in order):
01. Planet of the Apes (1968) 02. Will Penny (1968) 03. Rosemary's Baby (1968) 04. Lion in Winter, The (1968) 05. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 06. Party, The (1968) ~ One of my favorite comedies. 07. Where Eagles Dare (1968) 08. Bandolero! (1968) 09. Firecreek (1968) 10. Producers, The (1968) Honorable mentions (in no particular order): War and Peace (1968) Devil's Brigade, The (1968) Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968) Charge of the Light Brigade, The (1968) Targets (1968) Hang 'em High (1968) Bullitt (1968) Green Berets, The (1968) Swimmer, The (1968) Yours, Mine and Ours (1968) Devil Rides Out, The (1968) Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) No Way to Treat a Lady (1968) Ice Station Zebra (1968) Odd Couple, The (1968) Night of the Living Dead (1968) A must mention outlandish cult film: Wild in the Streets (1968) Most hated film of the year: Barbarella (1968) ~ with Hanoi Jane ![]() This was actually a pretty good year for movies. It's not like the 30's or the 40's but not bad either.~ IMHO Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, for he is the harbinger of death. Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!
