Bonnie and Clyde https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/74/Bonnie_and_Clyde.JPG Dir: Arthur Penn Genre: Adventure, Crime Year: 1967 Even though it was set in the 30s, Bonnie and Clyde was emblematic of 60s counterculture. It's strikingly similar to another important (French) film on this list, and basically serves as its American counterpart. The reason why I love this movie so much is the anachronistic take on the story. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway look like they're straight out of 1967. They don't try to alter the dialogue to match up more closely with the Great Depression. Everyone looks and speaks as if this was set in the year of its release. And that's what helps bring it to another level: Bonnie and Clyde isn't a period film, it is fully committed to being an allegory for the youth of the time. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
