I'm pretty well watched on 50s movies, I love that decade. Like Siddon said it would help to know if there are genre or styles that you really like or dislike.
These 50s films are in my Top 10 on my profile:
Pickup on South Street
Sweet Smell of Success
The Big Country
Abandon Ship

The Seventh Seal and The Bad Seed (who would have guessed) are first two that come to mind.
