Paths of Glory
Touch of Evil
The 400 Blows
Breathless

Vertigo and Singin' in the Rain and The 400 Blows.

While there are better films from the decade, my "favorite" is probably Singin' in the Rain.

Vertigo for me.

I've narrowed it down to three:


Tokyo Story (Ozu Yasujiro, 1952)


A Man Escaped (Robert Bresson, 1956)


Rio Bravo (Howard Hawks, 1959)
