I consider it a landslide if the losing candidate gets less than 100 EVs. 1960 was one of the closest presidential elections in history, and the Electoral College vote sure didn't show it. I would call many of the elections you mentioned either "comfortable victories", or if they're larger, like Clinton or Obama '08, a "near-landslide." 1960 was so painfully close, and even if the electoral vote didn't show it, the popular vote did.
