Chumlum
Lilith
The Naked Kiss
Dog Star Man
Diary Of a Chambermaid

 

I am always bad at remembering specific dates and was surprised to see that 1964 was actually a decent year in film for one of the last years of the bloated studio system. It was not the best movie of the year, but Goldfinger is probably the most important film of the year for me. I am a huge Bond fan, and have probably seen that movie more than I would like to admit... Other notables include:

A Hard Days Night
Zulu
Dr. Strangelove
Marry Poppins
My Fair Lady

 

You've got 3 of mine. A Hard Day's Night, Mary Poppins & My Fair Lady.

 

Fail Safe
Advance to the Rear

Actually, "The Pink Panther" was 1963....

 

Ackchyually (pushes up those nerd glasses)...according to Wikipedia The Pink Panther released in Europe in December of 63, but came out in the states in 64.

I missed it on my list of films cause i thought 63 as well, but looks like it is a 64 release in America...so I would add this to my list as well.

Diary of a Chambermaid
