This year, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of 1968 and what a year it was for movies. Some groundbreaking and truly enjoyable films released that year and many went on to spawn sequels, remakes, and even franchises. And others were best left well enough alone.
Below are 10 of the top movies from 1968 (click the titles to rent them), plus a breakdown of five movies that I personally recommend.

We'd love it if you helped us celebrate our 20th anniversary this year by telling us your DVD Netflix story. It would be amazing to hear from our fans about the time your dog ripped up the red envelope but didn't scratch the disc, the way your kids love checking the mailbox for a new movie, or the time DVD Netflix saved date night.

I’m pretty sure my love for the movies started at the drive-in theaters. As the child of a single mom, luxuries were few and far between.
But, almost every weekend, we would pack an ice chest full of goodies and take advantage of the “kids watch free" policy. Snuggled up in the back of our station wagon, we would gorge on snacks and listen to the double feature through the tinny radio. It was 1980s family bonding at its finest.
Times have obviously changed, and drive-ins are pretty much extinct. So, when I won the perfect prize package from DVD Netflix, I had to try to recreate the magic for my own little movie buffs. And, to my surprise, it was beyond easy!
Some might that say we saved the best for last. Now, Android smartphone users can rejoice with the new DVD Netflix app. Whether you're watching movie trailers or hearing about a great show over lunch with a friend, easily add movies to your queue, no matter where you are.
Take our two-minute video tour to see how the great features of the our site are easily accessed in the new Android app.

But with our new advanced return system, that’s no longer the case! To help you better understand this process and the new and improved return system, let's take a look at a DVD’s journey from you to us…

What if you could wave your magic wand, and instantly add an entire list of movies to your queue? Good news, you don't have to imagine anymore! From now on, you’ll be seeing curated lists from DVD.com that make it easy for you to add movie collections to your queue.
The list could be as simple as the week’s new releases, allowing you to place the latest films right into your must-watch list. Or, it could be a list of all the Best Picture nominees for 2015; instead of individually searching for each nominee, add them all with a single click!
When you add a set of movies to your queue, they’ll be placed at the bottom, as always. From there, you can easily remove any that you do not want - it's way easier to remove one movie than to individually search for eight of them!

Sometimes, you look at your queue and think, “Darn, what was the movie that I wanted to add?” Minimize those tip-of-the-tongue moments! Since our site is optimized for mobile, it's easy to add movies whenever you see or hear about them.
Several trailers ran for some great upcoming movies during Super Bowl 50, from X-Men: Apocalypse to The Secret Life of Pets. Add them to your DVD queue from the couch with a simple search and add.
Then, use your smartphone or tablet to easily manage your titles. Simply watch the short video that corresponds to your device to learn how to drag-and-drop titles or see what's coming to your home soon.
You might have noticed that your trusty queue has a fresh face. Since you - our loyal DVD customers - are using our service from smartphones and tablets more than ever, we knew it was time for us to make a site that keeps up with your on-the-go lifestyle!
We appreciated the constructive feedback we received from some of you as we started to roll it out. The updated queue has the best of both design worlds, incorporating familiar and new features.
Get acquainted with your new queue by watching this one-minute highlights video:
If you haven’t used drag-and-drop before with your queue, you’ll love this easy maneuvering by simply clicking, holding, and moving titles to new positions.
To move or remove things from your queue, hover over the numbers on the left or the buttons on the right.
Plus, check out the new mobile view. When you hear about a must-watch movie, add it to your queue right then and there. Mood change while you're out and about? Reorder your queue while waiting in line or eating lunch.
