I loved the music in Sweet Smell of Success too.

I forgot about Pickpocket, Ordet, A Man Escaped (which was just on TCM, maybe it's still available for those interested, it's great!)

Streetcar Named Desire
The Seventh Seal
Twelve Angry Men
On the Waterfront
Rear Window

CR, do you consider Ace in the Hole to be film noir? There have been so many "trapped miner" movies that they almost have their own classification..

Yep. To be more precise, it's film gris.

DIfficult, there are a lot of 50s films I like. I think probably:
The Green Man
Private's Progress
To Catch A Thief
Desk Set
The Horse's Mouth
