Wasn't Hollywood in crisis during 50s and 60s,

Think Hollywood started changing alot during the 60s but not necessarily for the worse, depends what you like. The 50s is usually seen as part of Hollywoods Golden Age. And even if Hollywood was having troubles in those decades alot of important foreign movements took hold during those decades.

Sent mine. Watched 167 starting last year and there were probably like 10 I didn't care for. Great decade.

IMO the greatest change in Hollywood films came not because of any cultural waves. That would have occurred in any case.
But there were two major factors that changed the old ways, and allowed for the types of films that would be made. 1. The break up of the old studio system, instituted by the late '40s anti-trust suit against the major studios. By the later '50s, half of the films made were by independent parties. 2. The inexorable advent of television. TV was clamoring for talent, and it was a wide open idiom. In fact the "small screen" is still trying to sound the dealth knell for theater movies...

So I started to watch My Darling Clementine but I was so damn tired that I couldn't finish. Didn't help it was going to be my third consecutive movie. But I can say I will not get to it before I submit my list tonight

I don't know for all of you guyz, but in preparation of making my list I rewatched and watched quite a bit of 40's film and I must say that I am a bit tired of film noir, most then 3/4 of the films I've seen are film noir haha. Am I the only one who noticed that?
