chicken 0 Posted February 27, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1965_in_film#Films_released_in_1965That page lists all of the films released that year - hopefully that is of some help to you.My birthday was just over 17 years after that so I am afraid that I can not recolect any details myself.

Here LINKSome really good films out that year, the original Pink Panther, Zulu, 633 squadron, Fistful and a couple of Carry Ons.I bet Pink Panther or Zulu.

Theres only one Ken Foggo 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Funnily enough the first time I was taken to the cinema in Norwich was in 1965 when I was 3 and the film was The Sound of Music. As that was probably the top film of the year the odds are that was the one you saw too - do you recall a snotty nosed three year old in the row in front of you?;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
