  • Bonnie and Clyde, Cool Hand Luke, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and In the Heat of the Night...man, that's a fine collection of films, all in one year (1967).

  • God! What elegance, you are timeless Ms. Hepburn.

  • he forgot to thank his beautiful wife Claire Bloom :(

  • @notredamehesamighty As far as individual years go, this is one of the best, with '39, '62, '93, '94, among them (at least IMO).

  • @jeffsummstl And what a lineup for Best Actor as well. Tracy, Hoffman, Steiger, Beatty, AND Newman. Most years two would be good enough.

  • This man is Napoleon of the cinema.

  • what kind of friggin accent is he attempting here? He's American and pretending to be British for some reason. Does he thinks it makes him sound classier or more intelligent? What a cock

  • @jeffsummstl: Yes and today what are we being served up by Hollywood? Remakes of remakes.. Stuff that was rubbish the first time round served up the second time round.. Sad isn't it.. Yes we can look forward to Batman 26 and Jaw 11... let's not forget classics like snakes on a plane or Scary movie 6 .. ok scary movie was good.. but you get my drift... Hollywood wants the safe bet . they don't want to take a risk anymore..

  • What a horrible task it would have been to have made the decision between all of these incredible actors. Of course, all of them won Oscars at one point or another. While I agree with another poster that Steiger's performance in "The Pawnbroker" was Oscar-worthy, it was refreshing to see a comedic performance win when Lee Marvin won it for "Cat Ballou".

    Finally, these collection of films may have been the finest one-year slate of movies in Hollywood history... even better than '39.

  • Ah, back when the Oscars used to redefine dapper each year.

  • @drachirzim

    I'd also throw 1974 in that hat too. But that's just me.

  • I heard a story that said that Rod Steiger went through 263 packs of chewing gum in the film.
