Just to let everyone know, we have seven spots remaining. There are also 37 unseconded movies available if you feel like seconding something, or please do nominate more. I myself still have about a dozen more or so.

Seconding because I saw the trailer and it looks trippy as hell! I wanna watch it.Originally Posted by mae
It is very trippy! It's a quick watch and Tubi is free, no need to even register!
Victim
There's probably some really good movies on the wait list, but I haven't seen any of the ones remaining, except those I nominated. I realize that many folks haven't seen the Japanese films or the classic Shaw Brothers films on the wait list--but I'd think the Peter Sellers classic "The Party" would get some takers. Anyway, I have a couple more to toss in.
I nominate Goyokin (1969)
Watch clip:
Dive, I wonder if you've seen this film:
Manji (1964)
Yasuzō Masumura
Watch trailer:
Kes
I second Cul De Sac
And I'll second Victim. A groundbreaking film.
We have four to go.
I have not; but it looks intriguing.

Fahrenheit 451 (1966)
François Truffaut
Watch trailer:
Great war movie, great cast (Robert Shaw, Michael Caine, Lawrence Oliver, Christopher Plummer), and one of the movies that George cites as instrumental in the dog fight surrounding the attack on the Death Star. At a famous very early screening for Speilberg, DePalma, and others, Lucas used footage from old movies because the special effects were not done. Instead of a trailer I am including a cool mixture of the two - check out the link,
Film: The Battle of Britain
Director: Guy Hamilton
Year: 1969
https://vimeo.com/10577133
2ND
The Fireman's Ball
Another long shot:
Daisies (1966)
Věra Chytilová
Watch trailer:
I'll second The Battle of Britain
And I'll second Teorema. This leaves us with JUST ONE spot remaining. What will it be? Are there more noms out there?
Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster
Wanted:
'Salem's Lot Portfolio #606
Fairy Tale UK S/L
Screw it. SECOND.
That's it. I come back from a colonoscopy and we're done. Great job, as always, Mae.
I am so disappointed that Zulu did not get seconded - it's a great movie! I hope someone sees it and comments. Like many, I have a list that I could not get to. Not that any of these would have won but they are worth mentioning for those who love great 1960s films:
El Dorado
House of Usher
The Italian Job
Django
Help!
Robin and the Seven Hoods
The Green Barets
Where Eagles Dare
Von Ryan's Express
Hell is for Heroes
Bandolero
100 Rifles
Khartoum
Brides of Dracula
And we're done! It took a while but I think the effort was very much worth it and once again we have a very representative and eclectic mix of movies for this decade! Thank you to everyone who participated in the process. I will post some usual statistic for these nominations shortly, and voting will begin on Monday, August 2! So if there are movies on the list that you haven't seen but always meant to, or you just want time to rewatch some favorites or unknown movies brand new to you that you've never heard of, please take this time to check some of these great picks from your list!
For the record, this was my remaining list, if anyone's curious for a peek:
Peek:
Sorry, it's one I have never seen or honestly heard of, so I'll see if I can watch it sometime.
