1968 Top 10 Highest-Grossing & Award Winning Films
“I enjoyed watching this film and I have seen it several times before. Interesting how the director did not do very much research on space as Charlton Heston was smoking a cigar in the spaceship. Even after they had a water crash landing, he somehow pulled out a cigar and lighter on their trek through the desert. Heston seems like the John Wayne of the late 60s. It is so odd that when Heston was caught and couldn’t speak he didn’t use the universal hand signal for writing and just grabbed at his voice box. The director needed to be more observant. One of the most impactful scenes was the statue of liberty buried in the sand. Glad I got to see it again.”

#42 Theme From ‘Valley of the Dolls (Dionne Warwick) 👍🏼
Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name
When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What’s in back of the sky, why do we cry
Gotta get off, gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I’m bound
When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why

#40 Love Is All Around (The Troggs) 👍🏼
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It’s written on the wind
It’s everywhere I go, oh yes, it is
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show, oh
You know, I love you, I always will
My mind’s made up
By the way that I feel
There’s no beginning
There’ll be no end
‘Cause on my love you can depend
I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking
Of all the things you said, oh yes I did
You gave your promise to me
And I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything and I do, oh yes I do
You know, I love you, I always will
My mind’s made up by the
Way that I feel
There’s no beginning
There’ll be no end
‘Cause on my love you can depend, yeah
Got to keep it movin’
Ooh, it’s written in the wind
Oh, everywhere I go, yeah, ooh well
So if you really love me, love me, love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show

Come and let it show, baby
Come on, come on, come on let it show, baby
(Come on and let it)

Come on and let it show, baby
Come on and let it show

“I enjoyed watching this film and I have seen it several times before. Each time I glean something new from the personalities. Dustin Hoffman and Ann Bancroft are amazing. Societies constraints are magnified as this film dives into areas that are often not talked about…even today. I will definitely see this again when I need a fix.”

#37 Hold Me Tight (Johnny Nash) 👍🏼
I don’t want to hear it,
No more fussin’ and fightin’ baby,
Hold me tight.
Let’s let bygones be bygones,
Let’s think about tomorrow girl,
Our future’s bright.
Well, I know I was wrong,
But, I was just a fool,
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me.
Ah but now I see the light,
And everything’s gonna be all right,
Baby, hold me tight.

#36 The Look of Love (Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66) 👍🏼
The look of love is in your eyes
A look the time can’t disguise
The look of lo… ve is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well, it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You’ve got the look of love
It’s on your face
A look the time can’t erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

“I enjoyed watching this film and I don’t think I saw it before. Who doesn’t like Steve McQueen? He was the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry type in this cop movie. Entertaining and some good car chases. One time was enough as it is pretty dated.”
