Shane #2
Hey Ricky….Shane gave From Here to Eternity a run for the top spot…but the Oscar win for Eternity is hard to overcome in UMR scoring formula. 2nd is still very impressive.
I have seen 54 of these movies from 1953.
Favourites of mine include:
Roman Holiday
From Here to Eternity
Shane
The Big Heat
How to Marry a Millionaire
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Pick-Up From South Street
Stalag 17
Take the High Ground
Terror on a Train
Hey Flora…your tally of 54 edges Steve’s total of 48 and destroys my total of 24. Dan’s total is much higher….but I am sure your total would increase if you added the movies in his list that are not on my list.
I have seen and liked 8 of your Top 10….I seen Glenn, Richard and Gregory each got a movie on your Top 10 (Ford gets two movies)…all three of their movies that I have seen are great movies…so no argument from me on their inclusion. I have not seen Take the High Ground or Terror on a Train. As always your feedback is greatly appreciated.
These are the 121 1953 films I have seen between December 1992 (when I saw the # 8000 movie I rated) through December 2016. Key – film, year, studio, stars when I listed (I think I stopped doing this in 2012 and it was retroactive), date seen and source whether tape, DVD or TV channel.

XXX is from the days when I logged stars. It meant either one or both of the lead players was not on Quinlan’s Guide to Actors which profiled 2000 leading people and gave complete listings of their films.
Hey Dan. Glad to see you share your list of movies watched from movies made in 1953. I always think my list of movies in our database are impressive…and then I see your list and start to realize just how many movies are missing from my list. 121 will easily win our tally contest….though I imagine Lupino will be close if looks at your list and my list. Interesting lists you have compiled over the years.
“really career”? I meant “career really”. Typing too fast and backwards too. 🙂
I would fix your error…but currently away from the place that lets me edit. I can understand you typing so fast especially when typing about box office grosses….I get excited too….lol.
1953 was a good year for sci-fi and horror fans – War of the Worlds, It Came from Outer Space, Invaders from Mars and House of Wax, the most successful 3D movie of the 1950s.
I’ve seen 48 of the 173 films listed here, I expected more. I have 70 movies from 1953 in my movie collection, so I must have seen more.
House of Wax was the third biggest grosser of the year – $415m adjusted gross, wow! George Pal’s War of the Worlds managed $87m in the US, Beast from 20,000 Fathoms nearly $100m, FX maestro Ray Harryhausen’s really career took off with that film.
The Robe was a massive success, must be close to a billion worldwide gross, adjusted? From Here to Eternity was huge too. Shane was a big hit.
A treasure trove of facts and stats. Excellent work Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve.
1. 70 movies in your collection for movies made in 1953….I imagine many are science fiction movies.
2. There are many more 1953 movies out there….this is just the ones in my database. I actually did not dig any deeper into my sources to find more movies….so I imagine there are 30 or 40 more just waiting to be unlocked….on top of the 100s more that I have no box office on.
3. Your tally of 48 doubles my total of 24.
4. I am tearing up reading you listed the box office grosses of your favorite movies….lol.
5. Sadly I do not have worldwide grosses for The Robe or From Here To Eternity….but I agree they both should be near a billion….particularly The Robe.
6. Thanks for the vote and the kind words.
