Lists of Bests: 1001 Movies to See Before You Die (1950s) http://www.listsofbests.com/list/41695 This list is drawn from Steven Jay Schneider’s 1001 Movies to See Before You Die. There is a complete list available, but I got tired of it changing every year when the new edition came out. Given that none of the new editions have deleted a film before the 1980s, this list should stand awhile.
