"You don't understand, I could've had class! I could've been a contender! I could've been somebody!" Man the 50's was a great decade for movies. I would've loved to see Roman Holiday get at least a Honorable Mention. I absolutely love Audrey.

Seven Samurai is at least top 3 movie.

[@nathanieljohnson9221]

My thoughts exactly

[@searchingformyself5319]

Look, I think we can all agree that the U.S. isn't the only nation that has made great films. However, I'm starting to think that some people deliberately hate on American films, and consider ALL foreign made to be better. "Seven Samurai" will consistently appear in top 5 lists for the 1950's, but it is not necessarily the best movie of all time, the best 50's movie, or even the best foreign 50's movie.

[@searchingformyself5319]

+Stephanie Leguichard Actually, most film critics would place "Vertigo" ahead of "Seven Samurai" on the top 10 films of all time lists.

[@Iggy3]

Paths of Glory could also be here. Pretty short movie but spreads it's message very well. And Kubrick's cinematography is just wonderful

[@TusharRaj87]

Was about to make the same comment. Best (anti-)war film ever made

[@lukeellis6094]

Tushar Raj I'll third that. Chances are 2001 will appear somewhere on the Top 10 of the 60's list instead of Dr Strangelove as well (I think 2001 is overrated).

[@JohnSpawn1]

And I'll agree with that. Since Watchmojo.com seem to be Kubrick fans, I really hoped Paths of Glory would be included and get some recognition (and maybe also be introduced to some people). One of the all-time greatest films and the ending will make most people tear up.

[@JohnSpawn1]

Luke Ellis I understand how some people don't like 2001 a lot and I don't want to question your opinion, but how can it really be overrated? I mean, it was basically the birth of modern sci-fi film, the use of music inspired countless filmmakers and imo the special effects and visuals are still unmatched.

[@Ndoelicious]

Luke Ellis No, not overrated. I first found the film to be quite nauseatic..in a bad way. But after repeating it many times...it's quite a cinematography landmark.

[@hawkeye7246]

Looks like you forgot Stanley Kubrick's first masterpiece "Paths of Glory," easily one of the greatest films to come out of the 50s. Another major flaw in this list is that Seven Samurai should be much higher, probably #1. Also, speaking of Kurosawa, where are Rashomon and Throne of Blood, both of which easily beat several of the films on this list.

[@TheListenerCanon]

Kurosawa is the man, he's my 2nd favorite director and it's sad how poorly represented he is here. The 50s was definitely his best decade. Also Hitchcock's and Wilder's.

[@emilengen7825]

It's a top 10. All 1950s masterpieces can't be on this list. Even though Vertigo is my favorite movie of all time, I'm not complaining that it's only an honourable mention.

[@maotse-tung4438]

no mention of Ikiru either

[@SnGProds]

"Vertigo" was only a mention? Where's "Touch of Evil"? "Seven Samurai at only #7????

I'm with you on Vertigo. Should have been number one in my book.

[@DralionROBLOX]

Don't argue if your movies aren't on this list. The 1950's was a great decade for film and there would be too many good ones to list.

[@moddy121]

[@moddy121]

[@davidkubrick6087]

DralionROBLOX The big problem is that they almost never include a foreign film, the 1950's was field with foreign masterpieces like Hiroshima mon amour, The 400 Blows, Tokyo Story, Pather Panchali and many others and yet they weren't on the list or even mentioned, most of the best movies ever made come from other countries not just USA.

Night of the Hunter (1955) Robert Mitchum's performance as well as the cinematographic techniques used made that one at least worth an honorable mention. Visual lyricism at its (50s) best.

[@CarlosRiveraFernandez]

Why is Ben-Hur getting hell from everybody? I honestly loved it!

[@Peaceful_Gojira]

I think Godzilla: King of the Monsters should've taken its place for Seven Samurai only because: 1. It too was a Japanese film released in 1950s (with one of those characters from the Seven Samurai playing Dr. Kyohei Yamane), and 2. It captivated a great fear of the 1950's with nuclear weapons attained and how everyone feared "WWIII" was just around the corner. This movie deserves some praise, if not for at least the message it gave and the fear it installed on audiences worldwide.

[@LightAndDarkMdness02]

The thing is at the time the movies didn't make much money and were bashed for using real-life nuclear events in the movie to explain Godzilla's origins, the critics saw this as an insult to the people killed by the nuclear explosions and Fall-out (radiation).

[@Peaceful_Gojira]

LightAndDarkMdness02 Hmm, interesting. Never thought to take that into thoughtful consideration. I concur with your argument, sir. Well said.

I think Godzilla should've had a place on this list, even if it's a low one. Not only did it have an interesting theme, but it explored that theme amazingly, doing something other monster movies at the time didn't do--show the damage the monster caused.

[@mrnocal]

I agree. At least lately they've started putting a "spoiler alert" at the beginning of some of their lists. Because of this list I was interested in watching Bridge on the River Kwai, but now I pretty much know the ending so the experience of watching it for the first time won't be the same. They should stop showing the spoilers. I'm 53 BTW, and haven't seen every single movie in the world made before now.

[@nl3064]

If you're 53, and you're still bitching about the stupidest shit that couldn't matter any less, that's really pathetic. Aren't you a little too old to have the mentality of a spoiled child? If you haven't seen literally THE most basic shit from your own generaton, who's problem is that but yours? And before you say it, "and haven't seen every single movie in the world", no one's asking you to, but if you don't know some of the most basic historic titles, kind of fucking wasted existence have you had? How does someone telling you the end negate the actual physical experience of watching the whole entire thing in all its glory? Put aside your spoiled little child mentality and go fucking watch something you should've already seen. Seriously, that's like bitching about the ending of Psycho or Star Wars or something. Enough is enough. How do you know the experience won't be the same? You haven't even experienced it!

Thomanom no king kong is better

@@TS77TS it came on the 30s not the 50s and besides gojira was better in every way

[@BrendanJSmith]

Sunset Boulevard?

[@TorgoFraNorgo]

OK, I'm usually not *that guy*, but not even including The Seventh Seal as an honorable mention??? And putting The Seven Samurai as #8 only? Those two movies are both rivals for number one movie of all time, along with the usual American suspects, Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Casablanca, and a few others. Jesus Christ. There's no way The Seventh Seal doesn't at least get into a top ten list of its own decade. That's nuts.

[@SueJackson0]

Excellent writing! Excellent acting! Brilliant movies! Creativity! It's what's missing in movies these days.

[@eddyg1215]

This is why I think Steven Spielberg is so overrated.

[@ivaard]

Lol at seven samurai at number 8, that movie had a 8,8 on IMDB

[@JohnSpawn1]

IMDB? So what? Forrest Gump also has a rating of 8.8 on IMDB while Citizen Kane (widely considered to be the greatest film of all time) has a rating of 8.5. IMDB is voted on by users and even though most films on that list are great (or at least very good) it doesn't really mean much.

[@stephenbunnell2855]

Some Like It Hot with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marylin Monroe is a gem and should be on this list

[@nicholas4727]

Vertigo as an honorable mention is disrespectful

[@MsTimothyswan]

my favorite film from the 50s is 1955;s Mister Roberts; this is followed by all 4 of Elvis Presley's films (Love Me Tender, Loving You, Jailhouse Rock, King Creole) which all tie for second place

[@RamenzillaX]

All About Eve and Vertigo being HONORABLE MENTIONS? The shade

[@lucabrenkmusic715]

My No.1 is Billy Wilders „Sunset Boulevard“

[@uchihadante77]

12 Angry Men should be number 1!!

[@gabrvalete]

totally

[@beyourselfordont8964]

Correct!

[@hckingking]

Yes

[@piranha5506]

No. It might be a better movie but waterfront was revolutionary.

[@hckingking]

@@piranha5506 12 angry men is better, on the waterfront is not revolutionary in any way

[@StreetSpirit64]

Paths of Glory, The Seventh Seal, The Ten Commandments, Sunset Boulevard: All of these should at least be in your honorable mentions.

[@starwave02]

On the Waterfront is also my favourite of this decade; one of my favourite movies of all time. Where the hell is The Searchers though???!!! not even an honourable mention!!

[@vitohollas]

What about Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) or The Thing from Another World (1951)?

[@tarzantabi7845]

the thing from another world sucks the remake is muuuuuuuuuch better

[@JCVD1998]

where is the Searchers with John Wayne

[@axelkristoff]

Aggelos GR Agreed. Searchers and Some Like It Hot are missing.

[@kushalsp1994]

Just watched "On The Waterfront".. amazing movie, no doubt it's the best of 1950's.. the story, acting, music everything is great!

[@bmags75]

The Searchers wasn't even an honaorable mention?

[@Wired4Life2]

I would've bumped "SEVEN SAMURAI" my favorite film of all time to number 4 at least. Also, no "SUNSET BLVD."!??

[@ErickOberholtzer]

0:26 I think he forgot to say "Lisa!!!" at the end of his line.

[@cajayson8301]

All About Eve and Vertigo should definitely be in the top ten. Nonetheless, another splendid countdown full of unparalleled greats

[@TheFilipinoBoxer]

lol i thought he was gonna say something like "youre tearing me apart lisa"

[@annieb105]

Great list, but my favourite film of the 50's is "Harvey".

[@skeletonz28]
