It took forever but I've finally finished watching the movies that are widely considered 'the greatest' of the 1950s. I used information from the American Film Institute, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, etc. to pick what movies I watched. This list is a mix of what I consider the best made movies and personal favorites.
Narrowing down the top 12 was extremely hard and, honestly, I change my mind every time I look at it. But this is what I'm sticking with! lol
If you want to discuss any movies on this or other movies in the 1950s, feel free to discuss it here. Let me know what your favorites are.
