Along with The Beatles HELP? There was also Lester's brilliant THE KNACK and Godard's ALPHAVILLE, DR. ZHIVAGO and GHIDRAH THE THREE HEADED MONSTER and THE IPCRESS FILE and JULIET OF THE SPIRITS and A THOUSAND CLOWNS and VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS!

What boggles my mind is even uttering 1965 in the same breath as 1984. Based on offerings like <em>Thunderball</em>, <em>Help!</em>, <em>The Great Race</em>, <em>The Sons of Katie Elder</em> or <em>That Darn Cat</em>,'65 has to be one of the dullest movie years on record. Unless you went to see <em>The Sound of Music</em> 12 times ... Ray: Your honesty is refreshing in this Internet age of ours. What boggles my mind is even uttering 1965 in the same breath as 1984.
