I saw part of Ben Hur long ago. I plan to watch it again. I like Greatest SHow so far. It's all the fun of circuses in a Cecil B. DeMille drama.
Still, I'm slowly getting into the 50's. My top movies from the 50's are:
Sunset Boulevard
The Fly
Vertigo
12 Angry Men (best casting job ever)
Seven Samurai
Rashomon
Peter Pan
Singin' in the Rain
Alice in Wonderland
The Big Heat
I have a lot on my watchlist. North by Northwest, Touch of Evil, The Wages of Fear, I need to rewatch The Ten Commandments, Rio Grande, High Noon, some Rogers and Hammenstein movies, Ikiru, The Searchers, Othello, The Thief, Tokyo Story, Fear and Desire, Johnny Guitar, On the Waterfront (with Marlon Brando) Godzilla, etc.
