I have now watched 115 films that were released in 1964. A complete list can be found here. it was a fairly strong year and I had 17 films for my favorites list. They could have been sliced and diced in any number of ways. The films I reluctantly left off my Top Ten were: Charulata; The T.A.M.I. Show; Point of Order!; Alleman; Seduced and Abandoned; Marnie; and My Fair Lady. I was unable to locate Before the Revolution or Black God, White Devil from The 1001 Movies List. I will watch Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors as a 1965 film. My favorites are no particular order.

*********************************
I won’t be starting my 1965 reviews until I return from a vacation on August 7. In the meantime, I intend to continue my pre-Code binge and might review some films from the List that pre-date 1934 when I began this blog.
