The Moonlight Awards: 1965

The 1960s are a great period for the movie musical, with all-time classics like West Side Story, My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins, and more. The era is also defined by the French New Wave, with one iconic film after another by Varda, Truffaut, Resnais, and all the rest. Maybe the most influential French New Wave director was Jean-Luc Godard - but so far, he's never won a Moonlight. Likewise, no musical has won a Moonlight since Singin' in the Rain back in 1952. Will one of those streaks change this year? Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as they discuss the year in cinema, moviegoers' habits, Shakespeare adaptations, box office sensations, fourth-wall breakers, apartment-wall breakers, sexual liberation and the #MeToo movement - and then we dig into the data and the numbers (and our expert-panel votes) to identify the best film of 1965. The nominees are Chimes at Midnight, Dr. Zhivago, Pierrot Le Fou, Repulsion, and The Sound of Music. Who wins the Moonlight?
