Four of the top ten grossing movies were musicals: 101 Dalmatians (1961), The Jungle Book (1967), The Sound of Music (1965), and Mary Poppins (1964). While many of the others had top ten hits from their soundtracks such as "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon & Garfunkel from The Graduate (1967) and "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" by B.J.
