Pick your movie of the week: 50’s Crime (May 25-31, 2025)

It hit me the other day… If kids today see footage of the 50’s, it’s like me seeing footage of 1900-1909 when I was a kid. Also, when I was a teenager and saw anything on TV about the 50’s, that’s like teenagers today seeing things about the early 2000’s. Yeah, that’s depressing.

So I think it’d be good to divert our attention to the 50’s and some of the cool movies that came out then. Here are 3 crime movies from that time. Pick your favourite, or vote with a comment for the one you’d want to see if you haven’t seen any.

Dial M for Murder

12 Angry Men (1957)

The Defiant Ones
