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
  • Dial M for Murder

    Well, if you’ve seen most of the Hitchcock, then don’t miss on Dial M for Murder. You know, for the full picture so to say.

      Actually watched and enjoyed that one with my gf last year. Been slowly introducing her to his work with films I think she’d enjoy. The 50’s Hitchcock I haven’t seen are these
