    Tbh I haven't seen very many. These are the ones I liked best so far but it'll be probably be different in a year or two as I see more

    12 angry men
    wild strawberries
    vertigo
    touch of evil
    paths of glory

    I haven't seen any of these films but it's a good list based on what I've always heard regarding these films.

    HOWEVER

    Surely it's not possible to have a 50s list without Ben Hur?

    You should really see 12 Angry Men. I'd say it has a solid argument for being the best movie ever.

    Never spoken to anyone who didn't love 12 angry men, it's brilliant. Pretty sure you'd like it sly. I'll watch ben hur this month, you watch 12 angry men, deal?

    Just like the 1960s and 1970s...way too many to pick for just five.

    I'd have to pick at least 30....

    :pan: I didn't like it!





    I was 9 years old when I was forced to watch it instead of the re-run of 'Lost in Space'...I was pissed the whole time.

    Yeah ben hur is ok. The acting and dialogue is as wooden as a tree and it's about 2 days long but it's easy to follow (seeing as there's basically no complexity, ambiguity or anything else to miss if your attention wanes) and it held my interest. Doesn't make my top 5 tho

    Yeah it has not aged well... I thought it was okay but it's a bit silly... The Chariot scene is impressively done for the time

    No you're not. The acting isn't wooden at all. Hut is just being a cunt
