Films of the '60s: 1963

[Stephan]

You can post a list of anywhere between 1 and 15 films (or more, but only 15 will be counted) from the year we're covering. The deciding factor in terms of release dates is the RYM list and the top 10 of each year will go on to the final top 100. The deadline is March 31st.

The points scheme is as follows:
1. 50
2. 40
3. 30
4. 20
5. 15
6. 10
7. 9
8. 8
9. 7
10. 6
11. 5
12. 4
13. 3
14. 2
15. 1
However, these are the maximum amounts of points. If you want to put certain films on your list but don't want to give them too many points, you can choose to give these less points than in this scheme (but never more) to decrease the impact on the overall results. If you don't specifically state that you want to give (some of) your films fewer points, I will assume the standard scheme.

Here are some lists to remind you of the great (and awful) films released in 1963, from a variety of sources:

How can "The Birds" have no #1s? It was my #1 and someone else's in this thread.

[Stephan]

My bad! I did count your votes, I just missed it when totaling the #1s. Henrik's #1 was actually Dinner for One, so you are the only one.

[bonnielaurel]

OK. Nice result anyway.
