Lately I've been in the mood to watch a 50s-themed movie. Can you recommend a movie that takes place in the 50s, but that was made after the 50s? I've already seen Far From Heaven, The Hours, Back to the Future, Grease.
I've never seen Pleasantville, but I think it's a comedy, and I'd prefer to see dramas only. Preferably dramas about suburban life (though it's not a requirement).
Rear Window
The Help
Goodfellas
The Seven Year Itch
Sunset Boulevard
All About Eve
Strangers on a Train
Long, Long, Trailor
The Bad Seed
Sabrina
Dial M for Murder
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

I think it's classified as a comedy/drama, but personally I think it's more drama than comedy.
Ordet (1955)
M. Hulot's Holiday (1952)
Pickpocket (1959)
Floating Weeds (1959)
A Man Escaped (1956)
The Red Balloon (1956)
Sansho the Bailiff (1954)
Equinox Flower (1958)
Tokyo Twilight (1957)
The Swindle (1955)
Diary of a Country Priest (1951)
Thanks all for the recommendations. However, I was looking for films made after the 50s (set in the 50s) rather than films made in the 50s. A couple of you mentioned Pleasantville, so I'll check that one out first.

What better way is there to get a true feel for the 1950's than to see a film made during that decade
(just saying )?
