N.S.: It’s incoherent.
It’ll show a year on the screen, and give us a quick scene from a picture that came out that year, then show something from several years earlier or later. And since the compiler made no attempt to cover every year, he shouldn’t have bothered occasionally flashing a year on the screen.
Also, the snatches of movie scores are lovely, but with the exception of Gone with the Wind, they don’t match the pictures they’re paired with.
Finally, garbage like Easy Rider and Midnight Cowboy (both 1969) have no business in a compilation of great pictures.

I love it when John Wayne comes walking up to the screen at 5:06. Such a dominant walk!
N.S.: @songthief9560 You ain't kiddin'! Even the steers agreed—they got out of his way, without wranglers.

"Songthief".
Sounds like that should be MY moniker,though I'm more of a melody thief,lol.
The pleasure that movies used to give our population has decreased at the same ratio as the country has decreased from its greatness.Comedy,music,politicians,sports all have dropped off in quality--and I'm not just someone yelling at the clouds.White twenty year olds don't know how good it was decades ago--they can't compare,so their lack of experience is also their ignorance.
I know better,but I hope America doesn't decline in the next 20 years,as it has in the last 20--for THEIR sake.

"Midnight Cowboy" and "Easy Rider" are "garbage"? To each their own, but I'd classify both as brilliant indictments of the sordid lifestyles they depict- unlike, say, "West Side Story," which romanticizes violent street gangs, or "The Wild One," which depicts motorcycle hoodlums as innocuous youth while painting the locals as the real danger to society.
Midnight cowboy and easy Rider or counterculture movies at a time on counter culture was very popular but is there any type of movie and how good it was I just cannot say they were entertaining nonetheless
