60's Film Fest!

As I have not spent much time with my mother and that my mum was born in the 1960s I though it would be fun to have a 60s film fest. I put my college work to one side today but I had my filmmakers cap on the whole time. I streamed  the films from the Internet and had a couple of them of DVD. The films I saw are below.

Help! – The second Beatles film, in colour, I have a huge Beatles fan so loved this even though it is my least fav film out of the ones they have done.

If… - A tale of rebellion in the public school system by 60s maverick director, Lindsay Anderson. I really liked this surreal film but my mum really was not fan as she is not one for abstractness.

Alfie – Michael Caine as the ultimate 60 misogynist who learns his lesson the hard way. I saw the remake recently but this one is by far the better of the two.
Yellow Submarine – Further Beatles adventures that embrace the psychedelic culture of the elate 60s wholeheartedly. Me and my mum both agreed that is was are most enjoyed film out of the 4 (I watched Performance on my own as she was tied)

Performance – The end of the 60s chronicled through the relationship of a washed up rock star (Mick Jagger) and a gangster on the run. I liked all the colours but to be honest I did not understand it at all even after my second viewing of it.
