I like some of them, others not so much. It's been a long time since I've seen them, so I can't cite anything specific. However, I will issue the qualifier that 1950 had less truly bad movies than many other years. Numbers 6-10 on my worst list are all 5/10 rated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
