The Greatest Movies of the 1950s! Top 10 Ranked, Including ‘Rear Window’ and ‘High Noon’


Closer revisits the top 10 movies of the 1950s with the help of Foster Hirsch, author of Hollywood and the Movies of the Fifties, including High Noon and more.

In the 1952 western, Gary Cooper plays a small-town sheriff who must choose between facing a gang of killers alone or turning tail and leaving town. Starring Debbie Reynolds and Gene Kelly, this beloved 1952 film is “the epitome of the made-in-Hollywood original movie musical,” Hirsch tells Closer. Bette Davis is “extraordinary” as an aging Broadway star whose greatest fan (Anne Baxter) turns out to be a ruthless manipulator set on advancing her own career in this 1950 movie.
