I have now seen 55 films that were released in 1954. The complete list can be found here. The year is known as one of the best in film history and is very strong on the top end. Oddly enough, however, I had to dip down into the films I rated 8/10 to complete my list of favorites and there were less films than usual available for me to view. I could not find Becker’s Touche pas au Grisbi for a rewatch. If I had it likely would have made my favorites list. On to 1955!
