75 Good Mood Movies

You'd have to pull a knife to get me to see some of the films I watched in the Sixties. Morose message movies no longer do it for me. Their themes are already well-covered in the newspapers. Interesting films are always in fashion - "Battle of Algiers" is a good example - but with rare exception, it is nice to feel better when the closing credits hit the screen.
