Going Through the Era's {Matinee Saturday} - 1960s

 Because my ewes all decided to lamb this week, I unfortunately had to skip most of Ashley's Going Through The Era's 1960s week.   However, I had this post almost completed anyway, so I decided to finish it and share it with you all:)
......



This week {March 25th-31st} is the 1960s.

Today's theme is...Matinee Saturday!
{do movie reviews of movies from the era. share your favorite Actors/Actresses, fun movie trivia, etc....}

I decided to do basically the same thing as my last week's Matinee Saturday post and list all of my favorite films from the 60s.
Enjoy:)
