What happened in the year you were born?

[BEER]

Cool shit.

In 1966, the world was a different place.
There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo. Or HUBGFE, for that matter.
In 1966, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Hawaii. People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster.

Remember, that was before there were DVDs. Heck, even before there was VHS. People were indeed watching movies in the cinema, and not downloading them online. Imagine the packed seats, the laughter, the excitement, the novelty. And mostly all of that without 3D computer effects.
Do you know who won the Oscars that year? The academy award for the best movie went to A Man for All Seasons. The Oscar for best foreign movie that year went to A Man and a Woman. The top actor was Paul Scofield for his role as Sir Thomas More in A Man for All Seasons. The top actress was Elizabeth Taylor for her role as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. The best director? Fred Zinnemann for A Man for All Seasons.

Dogs never have a good year.
