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
    • Tujio@lemmy.worldEnglish

      First time I ever watched it, I kinda expected to be underwhelmed. One of those movies you hear about so much that it can’t actually be that good, right?

      Blew me away. Plot and pacing were very good, and the acting was one of the best performances I’ve ever seen.
