5 Off My Head: Siri Says 1968

I was pretty pleased this morning when my telephone answered the question, "Pick a number between 1 and 100" with an answer of "68" because besides containing my single favorite movie of all-time (which - spoiler-alert - is the subject of this week's banner up top) The Movies of 1968 contain several of my favorite movies of ever even besides. This was a great year for the movies! Weirdly there are a ton that I've always meant to see that I never have, which you'll also see below - I ought to have myself a 1968 marathon in their honor. Until then I give you...
