Between the emerging youth market, the collapse of the studio system, the influence of foreign films, increased competition from television, and a variety of other factors, the decade ushered in new paradigms of big-screen entertainment. Old Hollywood became New Hollywood, and along with this changing of the guard there arose an endless sense of possibility and innovation. It’s almost impossible to overstate the influence of seminal 1960s movies or their respective departures from previous norms. As if spitting in the face of the Hays Code—which officially ended in 1968—films such as “Bonnie & Clyde'' and “The Wild Bunch” offered stark depictions of violence. And whereas Old Hollywood movies would often coyly infer their sexual themes, comedies like “The Graduate” put those very same themes front and center. Over in Europe, meanwhile, movements like the French New Wave were likewise exploring new terrain and influencing a legion of aspiring filmmakers in the process. Even with so much change in the air, however, there was still plenty of room left for a good old-fashioned John Wayne Western or blockbuster musical. In the same sense that Frank Sinatra was a contemporary of The Rolling Stones, movies such as “Funny Girl” and “Oliver!” were released the same year as “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Of course, it was the latter—along with works like “Easy Rider”—that challenged the medium’s very own conventions. In the immediate wake of this historic transition, there came a slew of talented young visionaries. Having absorbed the technical innovations and narrative devices of 1960s cinema, directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg carried the torch into the next decade and beyond. To this day, they remain synonymous with the modern era of filmmaking. But the true modern era started with their influences both in America and abroad. To honor the decade in which everything changed, Stacker compiled data on all ’60s movies to come up with a Stacker score—a weighted index split evenly between IMDb and Metacritic scores. To qualify, the film had to have a release date between 1960 and 1969, a Metascore, and at least 5,000 votes. Ties were broken by Metascore and further ties were broken by IMDb user rating. Counting down from #50 to #1, here are the greatest movies of the 1960s.

[Best dog movies of all time]( Jacob Osborn, Nicole Caldwell [ Best dog movies of all time ]( [See full slideshow »]( If there’s one animal nearest and dearest to the collective heart of mankind, it’s the canine, which has been a staple in cinema for more than a century. In fact, the trend dates all the way back to 1905, when a male collie named Blair starred in the British short film, “Rescued by Rover.” True to its name, the film follows Rover as he helps in the recovery of a kidnapped baby. Good boy, Rover! On the heels of Blair came a female collie named Jean, widely considered to be the first true canine movie star. A number of famous dogs would emerge in Jean’s wake, including Rin Tin Tin, who was popular enough to have a book written about him decades after he passed away. Of course, it’s the films and franchises themselves that truly endure and continue to enrapture new generations. After all, a movie like “Old Yeller” might seem dated in terms of style, but emotionally speaking, it’s as poignant now as ever. All this talk of dogs in film might lead one to wonder: what are the most popular dog movies of all time? Like a well-trained canine, Stacker is here to heed the call. Stacker compiled data from Rotten Tomatoes on all dog movies and ranked the top 50 according to the Tomatometer, with the freshest movie sitting at #1. To qualify, the film had to have canines that were prominently featured characters, if not the focus of the film. Ties were broken by number of critic reviews and further ties broken by audience score. Data is current up through Jan. 31, 2021. Without further ado, here are the best dog movies of all time.
