Actually the distinction is not without importance for me. Even though movies shot on tape are considered amatuerish and unworthy of "real" movie makers, nonetheless some of my favorite movies have been shot that way. I would rather see a movie made for $50,000 and shot on tape, that was actually good, than see some 25 million dollar blockbuster shot on film using all sorts of cranes and such, but was mediocre and uncreative. But, um, I suppose this is off topic.
My favourite 1960's movie was in 1962- Zorba the Greek. I am American (Serbian-American), but Zorba the Greek can be considered a film (?) was shot on Kriti (Crete) by I believe a British director. It starred a Mexican-American, a Russian, a Greek, and a Brit. And Nikos Kazantzakis was Greek, and born on my birthday lol.

I can't say that I have a specific favorite movie, but there are ones that I will rewatch when they come on. Having cable makes this more possible these days.
I liked Breakfast at Tiffany's and do re-watch it when it comes on. Actually I like just about anything with Audrey Hepburn. I also like The TenCommandments, but I actually prefer Heston's Ben Hur. That is a truly great movie. Another favorite of mine is The Philadelphia Story with Clark Gable and Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart. I even bought the DVD for that one!
