The Third Man (1949)

The Third Man is a British noir thriller that perfectly showcases your classic "whodunnit?" Harry Lime died and there are a bunch of people trying to figure out who is responsible. The postwar film lets the audience watch as the entire mystery unravels before their very eyes.

All About Eve (1950)

Hollywood is rampant in their ageism, that's no secret. It was obvious even in the '50s. All About Eve follows the story of a 40-year-old actress (Bette Davis) as her career becomes threatened by a new, younger actress named Eve (Marilyn Monroe). Watching this film in 2021 offers a great insight into what Hollywood was like back in the day and how it hasn't truly changed for the better.
