Weirdly enough we were just yesterday talking about 1967's biggest movie at the box office and culturally, Mike Nichols' The Graduate, making me more convinced than ever that Siri is spying on me. Or maybe she's a big reader of this blog? Anyway hello Siri, you creeper. Here's what you wanted....

I still have to see "The Fearless Vampire Killers", "Belle du Jour", and "Blow-Up", but I definitely agree with "Bonnie and Clyde" & "Wait Until Dark".
"Cool Hand Luke", "The Graduate", and "Two for the Road" along with the latter two would make up my ballot.
Playtime
The Graduate
Belle du Jour
Blow-Up
The Fearless Vampire Killers
OH MY GOD, PLAYTIME!!! I missed Playtime! If I had realized that Playtime came out in 1967 Playtime would have made my list for sure. But since it was only released in France that year and didn't make it to the US until 1973, I'll just have to remind myself of that when I do my list for 1973 and cheat it in there. LOVE PLAYTIME
Belle du Jour, Valley of the Dolls, Reflections in a Golden Eye, Two for the Road, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and To Sir With Love.
Great year, so difficult to choose only five. My personal favorites:
Camelot
Valley of the Dolls
Belle de Jour
Bonnie & Clyde
Point Blank
Great choices in a year that provided many classic films. Glad to see Far from the Madding Crowd in your runner-ups. It's one of those films that takes a couple of views to fully appreciate, the first time I watched it didn't grab me but with each successive view I liked it more and more until now it may be my favorite of the year. Alan Bates & Julie Christie....swoon!
My top five:
Far from the Madding Crowd
Barefoot in the Park
Two for the Road
Point Blank
Wait Until Dark
Five runner-ups
Bonnie & Clyde
Thoroughly Modern Millie
Belle du Jour
The Honey Pot
The Graduate
I know that hoot fest Valley of the Dolls came out in '67 but that's more of a trash wallow than a favorite.
Point Blank---an all-time favorite
Bedazzled
The Trip
The Dirty Dozen
Don't Look Back
Wait Until Dark
