Top Ten Adventure Flicks from the 60s

Whether set in the old west, outer space, Africa or Japan, the one thing these classic films from the sixties have in common: Adventure. Watch them all.

#1. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) – 8.61
Three gunmen set out to find a hidden fortune. Who will walk away with the cash?

FitFortDangaSpectacular and supremely entertaining. Funny, tense, exciting, gripping. What really amazes me about this movie is the way Leone uses the frame so masterfully. Three amazing characters, dialogue that sparkles, and an endless supply of gripping scenarios that keeps the balance of power constantly shifting. Beautifully composed frames and Morricone’s unforgettable score. One of the most enjoyable times you can possibly have with a movie.
