***As New York Times critic A.O. Scott wrote recently, forty years ago this summer the movie that changed the movies premiered.***
Actually there were several films that caused quite a stir at that time.
Bonnie and Clyde.
Villa Rides! (Before Bobby Kennedy’s murder critics said it was good western. After the murder, a movie that glorifed violence.)
A Fist full of Dollars.
For a Few dollars More.
Good the Bad and the Ugly.
The Wild Bunch (My favorite)
And who can remember the uproar over those “sadistic” JAMES BOND films.
Must not forget ROSMARY’S BABY.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
