The Cultural Revolution and grown men parading around the streets of Peking wearing dunce caps at the behest of the real Gang of Four (not to be confused with the one that Caroline is head of).
Russian tanks rolling through Prague (undoubtedly provoked by one of MichalN's posts).
Yup, good times all around.

Good list Anthony, but you left out one of my favorites: Man for All Seasons (which I transferred from VHS to DVD a year ago and then ran into an actual commercial DVD of for $1.99 in of all stores.......Big Lots!).
Oh yes, and another favorite- Inherit the Wind though it came out in 1960, I saw & remember it from TV screenings later in the 60s mainly because it was a favorite of my father's).
Also wanted to mention that just as the 50s ended circa 1965, so too did the 60s actually end around 1973-74 partly due to the end of the Vietnam War. I remember that what had been the 'free-love' era now changed to a rather crazy period that was hard to describe- some elements of the 60s, but mostly unique to the 70s: Great music with some of the greatest pop-rock albums of all-time (still being actively sold on CD), big disaster movies such as The Poseidon Adventure. The Towering Inferno, Earthquake and RollerCoaster, and then of course, a new sci-fi era with StarWars in 1977! And, especially, the disco-music craze fed by Saturday Night Fever in 1977..... But I guess I'm hijacking this thread which was supposed to be about the 60s- just got carried away with nostalgia....
The future ain't what it used to be!

So when are we going to see someone else's pictures. Don't be shy. We can't all post cute and sexy fashion shots like Lady K.
Here I am as a fashion model probably in the mid-sixties:

Sorry it's fuzzy. My parents didn't take a lot of photos of us during these years. The whole point behind this photo was my stunning likeness to my deceased Grandma.
Hello There!
Beautiful hair Caroline.....you could play Lady Godiva practically....
Is you hair still that long?
You were a cute girl! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Yes, Caroline. No need to be modest. Speck, I guess she was worried about the front page headlines the next morning in the Star:

I found this over at "Spyglass" and thought it should be in this "60's thread"

Status : Online | For any child in (rather than of) the sixties, Gerry Anderson's TV series filmed in 'Supermarionation' cast a giant shadow. Starting with 'Torchy the battery boy'(I think around 1960), 'Supercar', 'Fireball XL5', through 'Stingray',he reached his zenith of popularity with the iconic 'Thunderbirds' and the less well remembered but technically more advanced 'Captain Scarlet'. If you see some of these today, you would be surprised at things like the unchallenged sexism, racial stereotyping and puppets smoking in children's TV, so obviously not considered a big deal at the time.

And Captain Scarlet - I'd forgotten that one.
I grew up on these shows. My brother had Thunderbirds 2 and 3 and 4. I think they came from the Cornflakes packet. I think it was Lady Penelope who smoked, wasn't it? Didn't she have a long cigarette holder?
