The Hays Code ended in 1966, and some started to take advantage of the extra freedom. Some used it stupidly, but there were some amazing movies… I included a couple of documentaries. 1967 (in order, like everything else I list) The Incident Hombre In Cold Blood Titicut Follies Cool Hand Luke Belle de Jour The Two Of Us Warrendale Poor Cow The Stranger Mouchette Le Samourai The Graduate La Chinoise Guess Whose Coming To Dinner Bonnie and Clyde 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her 1968 The Swimmer Kuroneko High School Shame Ole Dole Doff Hell in the Pacific Mr. Kinky Secret Ceremony Rachel Rachel A Place For Lover Petulia If… 1969 They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (my #4 all-time) Salesman The Happy Ending Midnight Cowboy Boy The Learning Tree A Gentle Woman That Cold Day in the Park This Man Must Die A Married Couple Easy Rider My Night At Maud’s Blind Beast Burn Kes The Passion of Anna The Wild Bunch Tell Them Willie Boy Was Here Last Summer Katzelmacher The Damned ---

If we’re talking reaction against the Hays Code, or even just its repudiation, it’s hard to choose better examples than **Bonnie and Clyde** and **Midnight Cowboy**. Both were brilliant and influential. As an aside, the Hays Code was a US thing. So I’m not sure why you’ve included movies like Belle du Jour, If, and The Damned in your list. ---

One of the standard SDMB nerd favorites is [_Sebastian_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_(1968_film)) from 1968.\* Dirk Bogarde as the code breaker in chief. Susannah York as his new hire. Great, early small role by Donald Sutherland. Lots of fun. And in terms of the late 60s, it does have the obligatory psychedelic party scene. Completely with a bit of nudity depending on the version. While from 1966, the aforementioned _The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming_ is fun. Jonathan Winters and Michael J. Pollard. What more could you want? Well, a sequel would have been a great idea. Oh, well. - That’s right, I checked to make sure. Unlike all the people posting 1970 films. ---
