Every decade has classic films that everyone flocks to theaters to see. Top films like "Psycho," "The Sound of Music," "Bonnie and Clyde," and "2001: A Space Odyssey" were not only critically acclaimed but won awards and were box office hits. But there were other excellent films out there, that for whatever reason, didn't get the same level of fame. Films like "Mirage" and "The Best Man". These are the best '60s movies you've probably never heard of.

The mid-1960s saw the New Hollywood era emerge, where young filmmakers started challenging the norms of filmmaking and exploring new and exciting cinematic possibilities. These new directorial styles significantly impacted cinema, introducing us to some of the great directors of all time.
