Filmsfatale's Best 100 Films of the 1950s - Page 2

"After World War II, the Hays Code continued to dominate features; however, this stifling of creativity led towards large epics that stayed within these rules, or rebellious works that stepped on them as much as was possible. The 1950's were full of many changes, yet the decade acts mainly as a bridge between the 1940's (when Hollywood was at its most signature state, & world cinema was starting to really leave its own mark) & the 1960's (when every rule was destroyed, & all styles merged together to revitalize cinema). The '50s still carry so many powerful works, from golden age icons that were making their final statements, to auteurs of the future that were ready to break this medium wide open. I find so much context in these following one hundred pictures, which all embody the same idea that most '50s film carried: this is the best that cinema will get. The '50s carry so much of film's golden age in a myriad of ways, as well as world cinema's influence overall." - filmsfatale.com
