A2P Cinema's
200 Favorite Films of the 1950s

Postwar cinema created many different world film movements. American cinema was struggling with commercial success and artistic freedom in the studio world. The creativity came in the form of B films/noirs that continued from the postwar 40s. Television stole American audiences but also created a new form of the Hollywood movie star and this was reflected in the rebellion/sex appeal of James Dean, Marlon Brando or Marilyn Monroe all of whom generated a cult celebrity. While postwar noirs of the 40s reflected America's dark fears and desires, the bomb scares of the 50s gave way to all kinds of unique sci-fi horror films.

Color started to fully blossom on the screen and it was particularly a treasure to observe the way earlier masters of black-and-white transitioned over to color. The 50s were the richest decade of the great Alfred Hitchcock's career and he displayed a virtuoso use of color to create some of cinema history's most magical moments in 1958s Vertigo. Other directors masterfully used Technicolor within their own unique strengths (such as expressive melodrama for Douglas Sirk or musicals for Vincente Minnelli).

World Film Festivals (such as Cannes) emerged and helped give foreign films more recognition and wider audiences. European cinema received much world attention and accolades with traditionalist filmmakers like Ingmar Bergman or Carl Theodor Dreyer as well as Italy's Federico Fellini and Roberto Rossellini, not to mention at the end of the decade began the birth of the French New Wave which forever shook the world of cinema history. Some of the very greatest films and filmmakers of the postwar era came from Japan - notably Yasujiro Ozu, Kenji Mizoguchi, Mikio Naruse and Akira Kurosawa. Many of their films did not reach audiences overseas until decades later, but these remain among the very greatest films ever made.

Look over the list ... I would be very interested in you sending your choices or sharing feedback (did I miss anything?).
