Excellent overview of some key 1955 films. I have the same #1 choice for 1955 on my personal list, but I'll have to get around to "Wichita" now.
@nickelndime5
My favorite from 1955 ( and one of my top ten all-time ) would be Bad Day at Black Rock with Spenser Tracy, Robert Ryan. Phenomenal film.

The Rose Tatoo

I like the one with sinatra, too, as escaped convict. March and biggie, double bonus.

I saw NOTHunter not long after my father had died. It was on TV in the early 60s. I was freaked out for days. I still get a dark feeling of despair when I think about it. "Chilllllldren.... children!" That was one bad dude. Whew.
@randyacuna5643
I could never do a 5 best of any year because so many great films are left out but i am glad you added Wichita which is a overlooked very good western.
@judithgayle3219
Night of the Hunter was PERFECT horror. All violence by suggestion, no slash or gore. Read the book as a kid, saw the movie. Both outstanding. Mitchum is terrifying.
@remaguire
If you haven't seen "Night of the Hunter", you have to before you depart this mortal coil! It is spectacular!
@donaldwildgrube5544
when I was in High School we weren't into Westerns, that was for little kids and old people. The two main movies we all saw were, "Rebel without a Cause" and "Blackboard Jungle."
@sawmanUK
Very good

'55 was a pretty good year for foreign films too! Japan has Floating Clouds; France has Diabolique and French Cancan; Italy has Il Bidone; Georgia has Magdana's Donkey; and Sweden has Smiles of a Summer Night! Personally I would have picked Top Gun over Wichita--it's simpler but I had more fun with it :)
@audreydaleski1067
I could do a top 10 of all time, and a top twenty, then 50.
@willieluncheonette5843
mine would be Night of the Hunter, The Man From Laramie, Kiss Me Deadly, Rebel Without a Cause, and The Phenix City Story. Have seen To Catch a Thief, Strangers and Othello too long ago tp give an opinion here.

Jimmy stewart!
@robertknuist9754
They didn't have a TV because of the threat TV was to movies and they didn't want to promote it
@audreydaleski1067
My one movie disappointment, and I adore Joanne Woodward, but they did not do the Sound and the Fury well. The ending was sickening and not the book ending. Caddie was the heart off the book, and maury
@robertpinto6515
I think "Night of the Hunter" was demented garbage! A product of a sick mind.
