The counterculture movement had a significant effect on cinema. Movies began to break social taboos such as [[sex in film|sex]] and [[violence in art|violence]] causing both controversy and fascination. They turned increasingly dramatic, unbalanced, and hectic as the cultural revolution was starting. This was the beginning of the [[New Hollywood]] era that dominated the next decade in theatres and revolutionized the film industry. Films of this time also focused on the changes happening in the world. [[Dennis Hopper]]'s ''[[Easy Rider]]'' (1969) focused on the [[drug culture]] of the time. Movies also became more sexually explicit, such as [[Roger Vadim]]'s'' [[Barbarella (film)|Barbarella]]'' (1968), as the [[counterculture]] progressed.

In Europe, [[art cinema]] gained wider distribution and saw movements like [[French New Wave|la Nouvelle Vague]] (The French New Wave), which featured French filmmakers such as [[Roger Vadim]], [[François Truffaut]], [[Alain Resnais]], and [[Jean-Luc Godard]]; the [[cinéma vérité]] documentary movement took place in Canada, France and the United States; [[Swedish cinema|Swedish filmmaker]] [[Ingmar Bergman]], [[cinema of Chile|Chilean filmmaker]] [[Alexandro Jodorowsky]] and [[Polish cinema|Polish filmmakers]] [[Roman Polanski]] and [[Wojciech Jerzy Has]] produced original and offbeat masterpieces and the high-point of [[Italian cinema|Italian filmmaking]] with [[Michelangelo Antonioni]] and [[Federico Fellini]] making some of their most known films during this period. Notable films from this period include: ''[[La Dolce Vita]]'', ''[[8 1/2|{{frac|8|1|2}}]]''; ''[[La Notte]]''; ''[[L'Eclisse]]'', ''[[The Red Desert]]''; ''[[Blowup]]''; ''[[Fellini Satyricon]]''; ''[[Accattone]]''; ''[[The Gospel According to St. Matthew (film)|The Gospel According to St. Matthew]]''; ''[[Theorem (film)|Theorem]]''; ''[[Winter Light]]''; ''[[The Silence (1963 film)|The Silence]]''; ''[[Persona (1966 film)|Persona]]''; ''[[Shame (1968 film)|Shame]]''; ''[[The Passion of Anna|A Passion]]''; ''[[Au hasard Balthazar]]''; ''[[Mouchette]]''; ''[[Last Year at Marienbad]]''; ''[[Chronique d'un été]]''; ''[[Titicut Follies]]''; ''[[High School (1968 film)|High School]]''; ''[[Salesman (1969 film)|Salesman]]''; ''[[La jetée]]''; ''[[Warrendale (film)|Warrendale]];'' ''[[Knife in the Water]]''; ''[[Repulsion (film)|Repulsion]]''; ''[[The Saragossa Manuscript (film)|The Saragossa Manuscript]]''; ''[[El Topo]]''; ''[[A Hard Day's Night (film)|A Hard Day's Night]]''; and the [[cinéma vérité]] ''[[Dont Look Back]]''.

In Japan, ''[[Chūshingura: Hana no Maki, Yuki no Maki]]'' a film version of the story of the [[forty-seven rōnin|forty-seven ''rōnin'']] directed by [[Hiroshi Inagaki]], was released in 1962; the legendary story was also remade as a television series in Japan. Academy Award-winning [[Cinema of Japan|Japanese]] director [[Akira Kurosawa]] produced ''[[Yojimbo (film)|Yojimbo]]'' (1961) and ''[[Sanjuro]]'' (1962), which both starred [[Toshiro Mifune]] as a mysterious [[samurai]] swordsman for hire. Like his previous films both had a profound influence around the world. The ''[[Spaghetti Western]]'' genre was a direct outgrowth of the Kurosawa films. The influence of these films is most apparent in [[Sergio Leone]]'s ''[[A Fistful of Dollars]]'' (1964) starring [[Clint Eastwood]] and [[Walter Hill (filmmaker)|Walter Hill]]'s ''[[Last Man Standing (1996 film)|Last Man Standing]]'' (1996). ''Yojimbo'' was also the origin of the "[[Man with No Name]]" trend which included Sergio Leone's ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'', and ''[[The Good, The Bad and The Ugly]]'' both also starring Clint Eastwood, and arguably continued through his 1968 opus ''[[Once Upon a Time in the West]]'', starring [[Henry Fonda]], [[Charles Bronson]], [[Claudia Cardinale]], and [[Jason Robards]]. ''[[The Magnificent Seven]]'' a 1960 American [[western film]] directed by [[John Sturges]] was a [[remake]] of [[Akira Kurosawa]]'s 1954 film, ''[[Seven Samurai]]''. Another popular figure in this genre was [[John Wayne]], with films from the 60s such as ''[[The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance]]'' (1962), ''[[El Dorado (1966 film)|El Dorado]]'' (1966), ''[[True Grit (1969 film)|True Grit]]'' (1969) and others.

The 1960s were also about experimentation. With the explosion of lightweight and affordable cameras, the underground [[New American Cinema|avant-garde film]] movement thrived. The movement's notable figures include Canada's [[Michael Snow]] and Americans [[Kenneth Anger]], [[Stan Brakhage]], [[Andy Warhol]], and [[Jack Smith (film director)|Jack Smith]]. Notable films in this genre include ''[[Dog Star Man]]'', ''[[Scorpio Rising (film)|Scorpio Rising]]'', ''[[Wavelength (1967 film)|Wavelength]]'', ''[[Chelsea Girls]]'', ''[[Blow Job (1964 film)|Blow Job]]'', ''[[Vinyl (1965 film)|Vinyl]]'', and ''[[Flaming Creatures]]''.

[[Walt Disney]], the founder of [[The Walt Disney Company]], died on 15 December 1966 from a major tumor in his left lung. Alongside ''[[One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'', ''[[The Sword in the Stone (1963 film)|The Sword in the Stone]]'' and ''[[The Jungle Book (1967 film)|The Jungle Book]]'' (some of his most important blockbusters), animated feature films of the decade that are of notable status include ''[[Gay Purr-ee]]'', ''[[Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!]]'', ''[[The Man Called Flintstone]]'', ''[[Mad Monster Party?]]'', ''[[Yellow Submarine (film)|Yellow Submarine]]'' and ''[[A Boy Named Charlie Brown]]''.
