40 Years of Flicks

I have now declared myself a movie critic and I have compiled for your viewing pleasure a list of the best 10 films of each decade. Please take note that any disagreed will result in beheading.

1950's:

2. An American in Paris. Reason: Gene Kelly totally rocks out in this movie.
3. The African Queen. Reason: Bogart and Katharine Hepburn are so funny together in this film.
4. Singin' in the Rain. Reason: do I really have to explain?
5. Roman Holiday. Reasons: Ok so basically this story is a reverse Cinderella but it is cute anyway. Plus it stars the Queen of Hollywood- Her majesty Audrey Hepburn herself.
6. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Reasons: I don't know if anyone but my mother and I liked this film but its my list so dangit it will be on here.
