About this episode

The episode discusses the best films of 1964, focusing on the Best Picture nominees and their endings.

It's been a little while, but we've jumped another 10 years closer to the present with an episode on the best films of 1964. Unfortunately for filmgoers it was a bit of a fallow year, but it does make for some good conversation. We mostly talk about the 5 Best Picture nominees, but a few more films come in for a mention in passing. As ever, we SPOIL the endings, middles...everything really about these movies without regard for what you might not have seen, so be warned . Watch the films first if you don't want to know how they end. 00:10 Intro to the podcast/topic 00:56 (Absolutely we did not get caught up to the current year) 03:34 Mary Poppins 18:03 Becket 29:55 My Fair Lady 31:12 Bob remembers correctly about Shaw and the Greek origin! 38:15 The superior original ending 43:53 Dr. Strangelove 45:51 The prior episode where we talked about Dr. Strangelove 46:25 Bob might be misremembering Hayden's late-life problems 52:00 Zorba the Greek 57:21 Bob gets on his high horse a bit 01:01:57 Picking our winner 01:05:18 Next episode plans and conclusion Intro and Outro music excerpted without alteration other than length and volume from AcidJazz by Kevin McLeod under a Creative Commons…
