This 'Year in Film' project has already been so enlightening. It is just mind blowing the number of films that were produced in basically any given year that are really memorable. For this list I take you back to the year 1956. Several all-time favorites for me here including Kubrick's THE KILLING and FORBIDDEN PLANET. Also SEVEN MEN FROM NOW and the SEARCHERS, both great. Oh and two(!) from Douglas Sirk: WRITTEN ON THE WIND and the woefully underrated THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW.

I liked The Girl Can't Help It, but it sure was a schizophrenic movie. On the one hand it was a grown up movie about a gangster's moll, on the other it was a teen movie and they had all these great Rock 'n' Roll acts. I reviewed it at my blog with lots of screen caps.
Love the poster for The Wrong Man with Hitch in the background!

I saw Written on the Wind for the first time two years ago. It is a beautifully shot and designed film and proves that Rock Hudson was a terrific actor. Great list as always!
