Top 10 Films of the 50's/60's/70's

Back in November I posted lists of my Top 10 Films from the 80's, 90's and 00's - influenced by Sam Fragoso at his site Duke and the Movies, who collaborates the rankings his readers send in and compiles an ultimate Top 10 from each decade. We are now up to the 60's, but I thought I would recap my selections from the 70's and 60's and jump ahead to the 50's. In addition to my Top 10, I am also going to include five honourable mentions. Honestly, how tough is this?
