Now this list I gave a bit more thought, and it stays final. I would say: 1. 12 Angry Men 2. Vertigo 3. The Wages of Fear 4. The Bridge on the River Kwai 5. Ben-Hur
To me the 50s = Science Fiction golden age: 1. Forbidden Planet 2. The Day the Earth Stood Still 3. War of the Worlds 4. When Worlds Collide 5. The Incredible Shrinking Man
1. Ben-Hur (a strong candidate for best movie ever made IMO) 2. 12 Angry Men 3. Wages of Fear 4. Paths of Glory 5. 3:10 to Yuma
