Movies in the 60s

I recently watched short clips from 3 movies from the 1960s including, Planet of the Apes, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Pink Panther. My favorite of the 3 was The Pink Panther. Although the movie contained slapstick comedy, of which I normally dislike, this humor was not as ridiculous as some movies today, making the situations in The Pink Panther seem more believable. The movie that I did not like was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid because I found it to be incredibly boring. There were some scenes that were slightly amusing, such as a fight scene between two men, but the acting seemed a little dry. I believe that Planet of the Apes reflects the 1960s the most because it demonstrates the desire to go to another land and not be involved in the everyday world. This is a result of all of the terrible assassinations during this period of time, so this movie allowed the people to escape their realities.
