Where To Watch
Can you name these movies that flopped in 1968?
Looks like Dick Van Dyke and Disney weren't always a winning combination.
So many memorable movies came out in 1968, from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to The Planet of the Apes. But with so many delightful and groundbreaking films to remember that year, it was likely easy to forget the year's biggest flops.
Here, we've pulled some of the year's biggest box office failures, which barely register in film history despite boasting stars we all know and love, and challenge you: Name that movie.
See if you can guess the right title every time. Good luck!

6/10. Not bad since I was only 11 years old back then and don't remember any of these movies.
9 out of 10. I only missed the Bob Denver one. Never A Dull Moment was a pretty good movie with many familiar faces. Dick Van Dyke is always entertaining.
Not bad for someone born in 1966
