Hi Mr. Cogerson,
Please correct typo error.
1964 For Those That Think Young , Rank item 114.
should be:
1964 For Those Who Think Young
Thx
Mike
This list is not right, because these are movies made in 1964, but it does n’t mean they were in cinema that year. Mary Poppins was the nr. 1 movie of 1965, yellow rolls Royce was released in may 1965, and in the Uk on dec 31. 1964, So did Zorba the Greek,Gold finger and many others. Even now in these fast times of 2020 the movies I see now in cinema ( in March) were all made in2019!
Hey Bart…you are correct…some of these movies were released in 1965. When I started doing this yearly pages I had to decide whether to put them in the year they were made or the year they were released in theaters. I picked the year they were made…as it avoided lots of confusion. Which way is the right way….I do not know….but after putting over 20,000 movies in these yearly reviews….it seems this way causes a little less confusion. Thanks for the visit and the comment.
