The Moonlight Awards: 1960

from The Moonlight Awards · host Aaron Keck

We've arrived at the 1960s, and the decade begins with a bang: 1960 brings us five of the most indelible, acclaimed, celebrated, homaged, and influential movies ever made. In Europe, Jean-Luc Godard, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Federico Fellini are changing the game; in the States, Billy Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock deliver two of their most treasured classics, one a brilliant comedy, the other a shocking slasher. They're all great - but which one film from 1960 has best stood the test of time? Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as they discuss the year in cinema, the French New Wave, jump cuts, paparazzi, awful Cannes screenings, "reciprocal pity," great last lines, theater rules, and hot-water heaters - and then we dig into the data and the numbers (and our expert panel votes) to identify the best picture of 1960. The nominees are The Apartment, L'Avventura, Breathless, La Dolce Vita, and Psycho. Who wins the Moonlight?
