The 70s years were the seccond most voted poll until now (thanks all folks) however received lesser votes than 2000-2009 with 27 voters and 54 votes.- Congratulations to Kramer vs Kramer. Meryl Streep has now the record of being the star with more Oscar Film wins, and being two consecutive times for being worst of the decade. While Francis Ford Coppola has the record of two wins and zero votes.- From the sintiese with only 22 votes there was a tie between Tom Jones and My Fair Lady with 10 votes each. So I have to made another poll. Because in 15 hours there were 6 votes I delete mine (Tom Jones) in order to not allow a seccond tie. Any way Tom Jones won unanesmy with 5 votes out of five ouch!!! Surprisingly X Rated Film Midnight Cowboy was the only one with zero votes. Even Lawrence of Arabia had at least a vote. Congratulations Mr Voight.Meanwhile Dustin Hoffman has one movie with Zero votes and the Other was the winner of the Worst of the 1970s. |

The Bridge on the River Kwai, like the bridge on the river kwai, is a glorious piece of British craftsmanship cutting across the void, flanked on either side by the hopeless wilderness.

Gigi is far and away the worst winner in this category's history (and it's my least favourite movie made by a competent filmmaker).
The best is The Bridge on the River Kwai by a hair over Marty and From Here to Eternity.

Gigi is far and away the worst winner in this category's history (and it's my least favourite movie made by a competent filmmaker). The best is The Bridge on the River Kwai by a hair over Marty and From Here to Eternity. I'm rewatching all the films from the 50s. I rewatch not so long ago All About Eve. So I will not count, until seen the other nominees From the 50s films, in the last 60 days. I've seen Gigi, An American In Paris, The Greatest Show on Earth and From Here to Eternity.
While neither is a bad movie, Gigi is my favorite. The Best is An American in Paris, and the worst by many heads is The Greatest Show on Earth.
One of the worst winners I've ever seen. Betty Hutton, whose career was blacklisted after the film, is the main highlight. While Dorothy Lamour and specially Jimmy Stewart as a clown, with painted head 99% of the film are totally wasted. From Here to the Eternity. Despite the famous beach scene, and great performance, it's too soapy for 2022 standarms. My seccond least favorite, but still I have a lot to watch.-
Gigi isn't Vincent Minelli best, with a dancer like Leslie Caron, he could create great coreography for her.-
However the music is great, the lyrics are great. The Cinematography is the best trying to recreate the Impresionist Paintings.-
And this is about the life of a nubile courtesan, so I get mesmerized, that the movie survive the Hays Code.-
One of the last great classic Hollywood movies that won an Oscar.- |

Woo boy this decade has some of the best winners and some of the absolute worst. The Greatest Show on Earth is my pick for the worst, with Gigi being very very very close behind.

haven't seen Greatest Show but Gigi is one of the worst movies I've ever seen Please see it. Its a terrible movie. In the 50s the Circus movies were the Marvel Movies. Its at least on dailymotion. I reccomend to rewatch Gigi because its has one of the cleverest scripts on a musical. The catchy song with Double intentions. I enjoy much more Gigi than An American in Paris. Dont get me wrong. An American in Paris is a much more better movies. But Gene Kellys choreographies is a take it or leave it. There are all pretty long, and not all works for the best of the movie. The last long dance segment is too long and doesn't explain a thing. Could not exist, and nothing will change in the plot or in the movie quality. Right now Im a little dissapointing with here from eternety. Well to be fair to all the Fred Zinerman movies that won best picture. Please I need more help, because I cannot understand why they suppose there are great. |

Not going to be a popular choice, but I voted Ben-Hur, one of the biggest slogs I've ever sat through.
Love the 50's but this isn't a super group, aside from a couple classics like On the Waterfront, All About Eve, and to a lesser extent Marty. But most of these fall into the "solid entertainment" category (including the forum's favorite movie of all time, Gigi) and aren't actively bad.

Ive seen the rest recently or have very fresh on my mind. |

1951 An American in Parisv9
1952 the greatest show on earth 5.5
1953 From Here to Eternity 6.5. A little bit dissapointing I expect more. Maybe my expections were too high
1954 On The Waterfront a big 9.5 classic
1955 Marty a pleasent surprise 8
1957 The Bridge on the River Kwai
Not Lean best, but still a great epic movie 8.5
1958 Gigi. Not the best Vincent Minelli fims? But one of the cleverst musical. I hope more dance 8.5.
Ive seen several times All About Eve and Around the World in 80 days. Without a rewatch. All about Eve is between an 8.5 to a 10. And Around the World is between 8 and 9
I try to see Ben Hurr several times. And I found always a little too much. I NEED in my 40s rewatch this. I guess is between a 5 and a 9.

Ben Hurr. Well has probably the worst Academy Award Winner for a supporting actor rol.
Also some parts are terrible bland, and was excesive long. The Christians part are unfortunately the worst written.
And of course was the controversy if Gore Vidal created Messala as a gay character in love with Ben Hurr. Well he was more concerned about Ben Hurr than Tirzha.
The historical recreation is great in design but not in color. Because the temples and statues were painted.
But beyond that, technically is a perfect movie of the time and most of the cast is great. Cinematography is wonderful.
And the ship scenes and the horse races still are great and even better than now a days CGI reconstructions.
My rate an 8
