1963 CinSpec Awards

Winners indicated (*). I still need to see films like The Fire Within, The L-Shaped Room, Billy Liar, The Servant, Captain Newman, M.D., The Third Shadow, Bye Bye Birdie, The Cardinal, The Big City, 55 Days at Peking, The V.I.P.'s, Le Feu Follet, Magnet of Doom, Papa's Delicate Condition, Black Sabbath, The Organiser, The Prize, Judex, The Stripper, The Ugly American, The Raven, Suzanne's Career, and The Whip and the Body.

Note: I have Winter Light on my 1962 ballot, since some sites (like The Criterion Collection) credit it as a '62 release.
