What's that?

I'll have to think a bit and come up with a list. 2001: A Space Odyssey has yet to fully work its magic on me, so may not feature . . .

Thought about adding that to my list, but only just seen it for the first time on the 70MC. Looking forward to the Criterion boxset so I can watch it again. Will definitely go on my 100 all time favourites whenever I update that list . . .

2001 A Space Odyssey - favourite Kubrick.
Kes - favourite Loach.
Persona
If...
Last Year at Marienbad
Point Blank
On her Majesty's Secret Service - favourite Bond.
Dr Strangelove
Lolita
Witchfinder General

Kubrick was blazing through the 60s.

I did the following for the 70MC (the highlighted ones were the er, highlights):

1960 – Shoot the Piano Player – Francois Truffaut – France
1961 – The Steamroller and the Violin – Andrei Tarkovsky – Russia
1962 – Keeper of Promises – Anselmo Duarte – Brazil
1963 – 8½ - Federico Fellini - Italy
1964 – Black Peter – Milos Forman – Czechoslovakia
1965 – Alphaville – Jean Luc Godard - France

1967 – Peppermint Frappe – Carlos Saura – Spain
1968 – Who Saw Him Die? – Jan Troell – Sweden
1969 – A Touch of Zen – King Hu – Hong Kong

All worth tracking down, but the pick of the bunch would have to be Black Peter.
