| After some thinking I arrived to the conclusion that doing a top 25 for each of these decades wouldn't be fair, since I haven't seen nearly as half films as on the other ones. So I joined them on this one and only poll. |

I voted twelve angry men, but I also love Mary Poppins and 2001. Some of my favorite films are from the fifties, but most are not on your list.

| The Seventh Seal edges it over 2001, Rear Window, and The Jungle Book |

Haven't seen all of these, but Failsafe should be there. I watched 2001 recently. Still utterly boring. Night Of The Living Dead is still impressive for what it accomplished with a low budget. Also missing is The Birds. Took too long to go absolutely nowhere.

Haven't seen Failsafe. The Birds is one of the Hitchcock movies I like the least.

Agreed. The Birds is snoozeville. I don't understand how people find 2001 boring though. It's captivating. -------------

Rear Window - perhaps my favourite Hitchcock and favourite film. Hard to choose between that an Vertigo, but what a set in Rear Window. And the use of diegetic sound, so many good things about that film. ------------- We are men of action. Lies do not become us. http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - JazzMusicArchives. |

Not insult anyone who enjoys it, it starts out with a bunch of ape proto humans, the classical music that was used as the soundtrack bores me to death. The Pan Am product placement. The ending is pointless. Good points - not having sound in space, and the intelligent computer being out of control. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

| To Kill A Mockingbird was my choice but I did like some others; Rear Window, The Graduate, Rebel Without A Cause,12 Angry Men (Failsafe was a better movie). I have never been a fan of foreign films. This is not a criticism, they're just not for me. |

Seven Samurai one of the finest movies ever made. |

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey - Hands down, favourite movie of all time. 2. The Day The Earth Stood Still - The remake with Keanu Reeves doesn't live up to the original at all, sorry. It's decent in it's own right though. 3. To Kill A Mockingbird -------------
