Bit soon don't you think? We should really give 80s a go first.

Anyway..come to think of it I think I've actually seen more 60s movies than 70s or maybe even 80s. Another great decade, if not for Hollywood.

1. Breathless
2. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
3. Bonnie and Clyde
4. A Hard Day's Night
5. Dr Strangelove
6. La Dolce Vita (finally saw a Fellini)
7. Jules And Jim
8. Psycho
9. The Apartment
10. Rosemary's baby
Honorable Mentions:

Through a Glass Darkly. The Manchurian Candidate, The Great Escape, Chimes At Midnight, Closely Watched Trains, Rosemary's baby, Easy Rider, The Birds

nice list
the good, the bad and the ugly is probably my vote
but la dolce vita must come a very close second

for sergio leone also must add:
the rest of the dollars trilogy (a fistful of dollars, a few dollars more)
also once upon a time in the west

fellini also made 8 1/2 in the 60s, as well as Juliet of the Spirits

BlowUp

Most of the films that immediately sprung to mind were 50's films. Gah.

The Sound of Music (shuttup or I cut you), A Man for all Seasons, A Hard Day's Night, Yellow Submarine, Bonnie and Clyde

I'll have to say Dr Strangelove as well. Also liked The Great Escape, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Once Upon A Time In The West.
