20 Movies We Would Go Back in Time to Show People

The 1950s were different in a lot of ways: People were slightly more afraid of communism, almost nobody was allowed to get married, and if you told people a movie was made by a computer, they’d probably say, “What’s a computer?” Hell, they’d barely just worked out how to make the talking pictures the same color as the real people talking. They were not ready for Benedragon Cumbersmaug.

So let’s say you’ve been sent back to the ‘50s, not burned at the stake as a witch for your time-traveling powers, and charged with the task of arranging a movie night for a contemporary audience of a movie from your time. That was the question posed by user jbuk02 to r/AskReddit, where different prospective cinematic ambassadors adopted different strategies. Some chose to amaze with the marvels of modern technology, some chose to shock with the progress of modern society and some chose Cats.
