Films of 1965

1965 was the most hopeful year of its era.

Across 40 well-known films, 1965 reads higher on hope than the decade around it — 53.1 against 48.2, a gap of 4.9. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
