The Sensational Sixties

Critics and film school students will tell you (and probably bore you to death) all about how the movies of the 60s were ground breaking, artistically revolutionary statements, cinema as art. That may be true for a lot of the movies made in that decade, but as this box set proves, not all the movies released in the 60s were ground breaking or revolutionary. Some of them can’t be called artistic either, but they can still be fun to watch. Among the 50 movies in this set, you will discover such treasures as Alexander the Great starring William Shatner, Wake Me When the War is Over starring Ken Berry and Eva Gabor, and Twisted Nerve with Haley Mills. There’s classic trash like Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and lesser known trash like Bloody Pit of Horror. It’s a mixed bag that takes a lot to sift through.
