All I can think of off-hand that haven't been nominated yet.

Duck Amuck (Chuck Jones, USA)
Bully for Bugs (Chuck Jones, USA)

I think this poll is for feature films only, or is it?

I'm kinda surprised Waterfront hadn't been nominated yet, actually. We're all in agreement that it's one of the greatest flicks of all time, right?

Absolutely not.

Wait, what?!

What what?

Wha?!

I was mostly expressing surprise that, three years after we decided to do this, it finally is happening.

I'm trying to remember if it's been features-only in the past. Did "La Jetée" make the 60s list?

The African Queen (John Huston, 1951)
Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951)
The Tragedy of Othello (Orson Welles, 1952)
The Crimson Pirate (Robert Siodmak, 1952)

Scrooge (Brian Hurst, 1951)
The Dam Busters (Michael Anderson , 1955)
1984 (Michael Anderson, 1956)
Bad Day at Black Rock (John Sturges, 1955)
The Ladykillers (Alexander Mackendrick, 1955)
The Incredible Shrinking Man (Jack Arnold, 1957)
Expresso Bongo (Val Guest, 1959)...well, at least the first half
I'm All Right Jack (John Boulting, 1959)
The Mouse That Roared (Jack Arnold, 1959)

hadn't been nominated yet, actually. We're all in agreement that (Waterfront is) one of the greatest flicks of all time, right?

Mostly for acting and its influence; to make it truly great you'd have to cut back some on the Christ imagery and kill Brando at the end (as opposed as those two tasks seem to be).

How about almost everything done in this decade by Ozu, Hitchcock, Fuller, Lang, and Rossellini (add The Flowers of St Francis)? and Sirk (esp The Tarnished Angels).

I prefer Gigi & The Band Wagon to the other MGM musicals listed.
also The 5000 Fingers of Dr T

I definitely meant because of the acting -- Brando is incredible. That scene where he's sitting in the restaurant/bar with the girl is one of the most amazing acting jobs I've ever seen ever.

I like the walk in the park better: "You turned out very nice."

I've tried to like The Tarnished Angels; it's a handsome-looking film, and reminds me of Kurosawa's take on film noir. But, oy, that Rock Hudson drunk scene.

any sillier than the silliest scene in any other Sirk film?

A shame Carol Burnett never parodied it.

TV scene in All That Heaven Allows = more heartbreaking than the "I coulda been a contender" speech in On the Waterfront boy howdy

The results of this one should be fun

well, I love the TV scene, and "contenda" is the most over-cited OtW scene.

xp

also, at least a few Martin & Lewis:

Living It Up
Artists & Models
Hollywood or Bust

and Big Deal on Madonna Street

Jerry Lewis not particularly of interest to me in the 1950s, unfortunately, although I do admit I haven't seen Artists and Models yet.

unfortunately, their Colgate Comedy Hours are TV. (2 of those rae Tashlin)

how do ya feel about non-Tashlin BOB HOPE?

Fancy Pants
My Favorite Spy

in case anyone hasn't picked em:

The Sun Shines Bright
Seven Men from Now

one resource (did I miss Madame de...?):

http://www.theyshootpictures.com/gf1000_year1950s.htm

Yeah, xxxxp the On the Waterfront "contender speech" is nowhere near the greatest scene in that flick.

I certainly would drop some from the They Shoot Pictures list ... like Ben Hur, The African Queen and River Kwai. Visconti and Ray, though...

Yes, I'd move that all the movies on that TSPDT list be added to the roster of nominees, even if I'll probably end up eating those words if Ben-Hur shows up in the top 100.

Bob Hope made movies?

find someone funnier between '40 and '52?

really, he and Crosby were funnier than the Sunshine Boys! :D

Ace in the Hole/ Big Carnival

a few not mentioned yet:

Fires on the Plain
Born Yesterday
A Christmas Carol (the '51 version, with alastair sim)
Forbidden Games
Hidden Fortress
High Noon
Mon Oncle
A Place in the Sun
Throne of Blood

A Christmas Carol (the '51 version, with alastair sim)

I nominated it upthread, but under it's UK title 'Scrooge'.

a classic by any name

don't forget:

Panic In The Streets
Park Row
Baby Doll
Winchester '73
The Naked Spur
Bigger Than Life

Morbs, I know you know I was kidding.

I know everything.

OK, what will be the top 5 finishers in this poll?

gabbneb to thread

Haha. Well, here's my guess (in no particular order):

Seven Samurai
Singin' in the Rain
12 Angry Men
North By Northwest
Rear Window

You don't think Vertigo is more popular than 12 Angry Men?

Trying to think of the '50s equiv to Apatow...

Not according to IMDB it's not.

Moby Dick (Huston, 56)

is the only thing i can think of that i'd vote for that's missing!

La Jette placed in the sixties poll.

57?! I should've voted.

Should the Abbot and Costello stuff get nominated? (Foreign Legion, Meet the Mummy, Go to Mars, Meet the Invisible Man...)

Also, a few more films I might want to vote for (including some MGM Musicals):
Marjorie Morningstar
The Last Angry Man
Annie Get Your Gun
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Damn Yankees
Oklahoma!
South Pacific

And I'm predicting right now that Sunset Blvd places in the top 3.

(Actually, maybe after this is over, I'll run an ILX styled Best Musicals poll.)

I think A&C's only nominatable film was in the '40s: Meet Frankenstein.

Budd Boetticher? Seven Men from Now, at least.

A few Disney films (I already mentioned Lady and the Tramp above):

Cinderella
Peter Pan
Sleeping Beauty
Alice in Wonderland
Old Yeller

War of the Worlds

When do nominations end?

Couple more Sam Fuller to add to Pickup On South Street:
The Steel Helmet
House Of Bamboo
Forty Guns

And a couple more Anthony Mann:
The Furies
The Man From Laramie

Wages of Fear (Clouzot, 1953)

ikiru

i love witness for the prosecution but it really doesn't break the top tier. i guess that's a nom. pather pachali is my only "10" i guess.

panchali

Mordy, presumably end of the month.

Vincente Minnelli is a contender for Hollywood Filmmaker of the Decade (arguably a more consistent and varied oeuvre than Hitchcock):

Some Came Running (1958)
The Reluctant Debutante (1958)
Gigi (1958)
Designing Woman (1957)
Tea and Sympathy (1956)
Lust for Life (1956)
Kismet (1955)
The Cobweb (1955)
Brigadoon (1954)
The Long, Long Trailer (1953)
The Band Wagon (1953)
The Story of Three Loves (1953) (segment "Mademoiselle")
The Bad and the Beautiful (1952)
An American in Paris (1951)
Father's Little Dividend (1951)
Father of the Bride (1950)

Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot

Vincente Minnelli is a contender for Hollywood Filmmaker of the Decade

Yeah most of those are good to great (although I've never gotten the love for Gigi). But I saw Kismet recently and whoa boy what a fucking nightmare! His camera just floats above the proceedings as if he's trying to figure out what to do with it all. What the hell happened? (And Howard Keel was one of many reasons why rock & roll had to happen.)

well, I've avoided Kismet and Brigadoon; I'm sure it wasn't a perfect decade.

I used to watch The Long, Long Trailer as a kid all the time.

Also: forgot that Some Came Running is finally out on DVD.

Nominations will wrap on, let's say Monday September 1st, which is Labor Day. I'll open voting with a new thread featuring a final master list on September 2nd.

BTW Morbs, are you nominating all those Minelli films? I ask because I went ahead & added the rest of Fuller, Ozu etc. to the list (which I'll post tomorrow)like you suggested yesterday.

no, I am not nominating all of them. I would personally consider Gigi,
The Band Wagon, The Bad and the Beautiful and Father of the Bride, but I haven't even seen many of the others.

I keep forgetting this is my favorite '50s musical:

These are not on video and hence I wonder if anyone but me has seen them:

The Letter Never Sent (Kalatozov)
On the Bowery (Rogosin)
The Way of Hope (Germi)

Actually, On the Bowery is on video (Mystic Fire maybe?) which is how I saw it. And I have a copy of The Letter Never Sent without subtitles. Never seen the Germi.

The Marrying Kind (Cukor)
Summertime (Lean)

Visconti:

Bellissima
Senso

On Dangerous Ground (Nicholas Ray)

Oh gawd I adore that movie! One of my all-time fave Rays. Love the hybrid, two-or-three-films-in-one feel of the thing. The Marrying Kind is terrific too. The scene where Judy Holliday is listening to (hot) Aldo Ray hack up loogies in the bathroom is toppermost.

Sorry if there are duplicates - don't have time to sort thru entire thread:

Kind of surprised that both The Far Country and Vera Cruz haven't made it yet, so I'll nom them.

I'm still aiming to close nominations on Labor Day. A month or so of voting will follow.

BUMP

I'll nominate Black Orpheus, although I dislike the second half of it and might not even vote for it.

I appreciate the sentiment behind including Looney Tunes shorts in this, but I think it's a mistake, like including TV episodes or something. It's such an apples & oranges thing, can anyone here honestly say they've got an aesthetic scale of values where it's easy to compare the relative merits of "Bully For Bugs" and "Throne Of Blood"?

(Ok yeah, one could argue that anything as vague as "50's movies" is gonna be plenty of apples & oranges anyway, but even when you're comparing stuff as disparate as, say, "Wild Strawberries" and "Forbbiden Planet", there's still this vague connection - at the very least you can narrow it down to the "which one I'd like to watch more right now" factor. Which I don't think works when it's shorts vs movies - short's only gonna be 10 minutes, why not you know?)

The thing is, those cartoons were done for theatres and ran with films. I see your point though, since most of us grew up seeing them on tv, which is were they earned a shelf-life. And furthermore I don't think they get revived in rep as much as proper feature-length films. I think that by including them, it'll make things more interesting poll-wise.

Several of my all-time favorite films are under 30 mins. So yeah I have no problem with including cartoons and shorts and whatnot. And I have no problem stating that Duck Amuck is an infinitely superior film to Throne of Blood or damn near any other film ever made. Plus the no-shorts rule (!) leaves out cans and cans of avant-garde film.

See Kevin, what I wanted to avoid was making this seem like I'm dissing on the Looney Tunes - I'm not! I'm on my 2nd Looney Tunes box set! It's not that "Duck Amuck" is somehow inferior to "Throne Of Blood", it's that they're in diferent mediums - sort've like deciding whether "The Great Gatsby" is better than "An Irishman Foresees His Death" or something. Your point about the avante garde stuff is a valid one, but I dunno, I just get this weird disconnect from comparing a 10 minute short to an 80 minute movie; they're just different aesthetic experiences for me, I guess.

C. Grisso, to be perfectly honest I've seen plenty more 50's movies on TV than in the cinema, as well, so it's not just that. I agree it'll be interesting to see how they chart, but I can't help feeling that sticking them in there isn't really fair to them or the other movies.

I know you weren't dissing them. But still, I think the comparisons are valid. Same thing with music. I think the ability to record a great single is more praiseworthy in general than the ability to record a great album. So I have no problem holding "Bon Bon Vie" up against, I don't know, Another Green World.

I'll vote for Duck Amuck to get the balance right.

One more nomination:
Window Water Baby Moving

It's hard enough to compare films I saw last month vs films I saw 15 years ago.

BUMP

Some more noms from me:

An American In Paris
Il Grido
On The Beach

And on Eric's suggestion, I'll include the remaining unnominated qualifing titles from the they shoot... list. They are:

African Queen, The
Miss Oyu

El/This Strange Passion
Limelight

Bienvenido Mister Marshall

I still have tentative plans to open voting on the 2nd, but that may change depending on Hurricane Gustav. If it heads my way I'll more than likely be offline for a few days. Either way, you can still nominate any remaining films until voting opens.

I am back, and I have multitudes...

Have you seen all of those?

Why, is there a quiz?

I've seen EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!!!!

Please do NOT include The Twonky on your list.

Please remove South Pacific. No one will vote for it.

-30- (Trivia question - what great 1950s flick ends this way??)

Nah, wasn't challenging you. Was just curious. It's a massive list and I was really impressed if you had seen them all. XP

And I might vote for South Pacific. "Some Enchanted Evening" is one of my top 10 musical songs of all time.

But the movie is dry bone

dull

Yeah, agreed. It really would depend on how many vote slots I get.

I see Girolamo's master list is still in full effect.

In poll news, right now I'm aiming to open the poll on Wednesday the 3rd. I'm also leaning towards a 40-film voting ballot. The voting period would wrap in early October and a reveal will happean shortly thereafter.

We appear to be missing Un Chant d'Amour

We're missing Blonde Bait too. That motherfucker needs to be up there!

J/k never seen it. Doubt Hermione Baddeley even saw it.

Looks like voting will open once ILE is back online.

like now?

Sorry, been offline. I've got an email setup for the ballots and I'll try to start that thread later today (Ike preparations permitting).
