So I love me some older films. Last year I came here and asked for 60s recommendations and got some amazing movie recs. Now I want some from the 50s.

Ones I enjoyed so far are films like:

  • Rear Window
  • Sunset Boulevard
  • Vertigo
  • Scrooge (or A Christmas Carol the one with Alastair Sim)
  • Stalag 17

The only ones I've seen I'm a bit just kind of eh on are Titfield Thunderbolt and Blood of Dracula. I haven't seen anything I think is outright bad though.

Edit to add movies I've seen that people brought up:

  • On the Waterfront
  • Giant
  • Strangers on a Train
  • North by Northwest
