All right, moving on to the dawn of New Hollywood as American cinema enters a new era. Some of the superstar directors that we still admire today are graduating from film schools and are about to take cinema by storm. 1967 was the beginning. For many, the true New Hollywood never really took off beyond a couple of years after its inception, for some the seeds were planted then for the Masters to sow them in the next decade as the era of Blockbusters take over. Whatever it was, 1967 was the beginning of a great era for film and no one can deny that.
Before we go on to the cinematic highlights, let's remind ourselves of the state of terra firma in 1967:
- The Doors break on through to the others side.
- The Pack win the first ever Super Bowl. The slots for Super Bowl commercials are sold at 1c per 30 seconds.
- Malaysia wants to get in on the act so something important happens there.
- First Boeing 737 flight. Hold on ... are they that old?!
