“most movies made in the 1960s”

Sorry I can’t help you with the artsy genre (well, I’ll try after two
“Average Joe/Josephine” suggestions.

1.
“The Longest Day”...which I tell inquiring parents is the film to
show your kids when they are 10-14 years old.

To prepare them for “Saving Private Ryan” when they are more like
age 15 or more.

2.
“Back To School”.
OK, it’s just for laughs, at the expense of academia as populated
by mostly stuffed shirts.
Still smile just thinking about Sam Kinnison’s (sp?) impassioned
portrayal of an over-the-top professor.

3.
OK, you’ll have to find this one on imdb.com or some website for
indy/non-US films.
Maybe 15 years ago I caught a Depardeau (OK, I botched the spelling, but
you know the French actor I’m referring to).
He portrayed a French cop that finds out his commander really has
murdered his (the commander’s) wife. Because his commander confesses
to him...but of course, the commander is above suspicion.
But still, it was a funny/ironic film.

"He really seems to care...about what I have no idea."
