==Events==
* February 15 – [[George Stevens]]' production of ''[[The Greatest Story Ever Told]]'', a retelling of the account of [[Jesus Christ]], premieres in [[New York City, New York]]. It was such a flop with critics and audiences that its failure discouraged production of religious epics for many years. It is considered notable in the 21st century for its astonishing landscapes, powerful and provocative cinematography, [[Max von Sydow]]'s debut acting performance in an American film, and the final film performance of [[Claude Rains]].
* March 2 – The [[Rodgers and Hammerstein]] film adaptation of ''[[The Sound of Music (film)|The Sound of Music]]'', directed by [[Robert Wise]] and starring [[Julie Andrews]] and [[Christopher Plummer]], premieres. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon and an instant classic. It successfully displaced ''[[Gone with the Wind (film)|Gone with the Wind]]'' to become, at the time, [[List of highest-grossing films in Canada and the United States#Adjusted for ticket-price inflation|the highest-grossing film of all-time]]. ''The Sound of Music'' is credited as the film that saved and restored [[Twentieth Century-Fox]] from bankruptcy after it suffered from extremely high production costs of ''[[Cleopatra (1963 film)|Cleopatra]]'' two years prior.
* July 1 – [[Blake Edwards]]'s epic comedy ''[[The Great Race]],'' starring [[Tony Curtis]], [[Jack Lemmon]], [[Natalie Wood]], [[Peter Falk]], and [[Keenan Wynn]], premieres. Initially a flop with critics and audiences, some do admire Edwards' direction, the acting by its ensemble cast, [[Henry Mancini]]'s music and its climactic pie fight.
*August 10 - A [[1965 MGM vault fire|massive vault fire]] at MGM studios in [[Culver City]], California, destroys the only known copies of hundreds of archived silent films, including [[Lon Chaney]]'s ''[[London After Midnight (film)|London After Midnight]]'' and Greta Garbo's ''[[The Divine Woman]]''.
* December 22 – [[David Lean]]'s film adaptation of [[Boris Pasternak]]'s ''[[Doctor Zhivago (film)|Doctor Zhivago]]'', starring [[Omar Sharif]], [[Julie Christie]], [[Rod Steiger]], and [[Alec Guinness]], premieres and, like ''The Sound of Music'', quickly became a worldwide phenomenon. Its moral story and message of a love and human spirit that defied the communist Soviet Union have made the film a true classic with critics and audiences. It was included among top films by the [[AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies|American Film Institute]]. In a decade of very difficult times for its studio, ''Zhivago'' became the most successful and acclaimed [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] film since ''[[How the West Was Won (film)|How the West Was Won]];'' it was the greatest MGM film since ''[[Ben-Hur (1959 film)|Ben-Hur]]''.
