Movies about the 50's

There were so many movies that were made about the 1950s in later decades. Here are some of them

Hairspray (1988)
This is a comedy by director John Waters, who always has a very different way of looking at things. There is great music, great dancing, and the movie explores the undertones of racial unrest that began to break the surface in the mid-50's leading to the Civil Rights Movement



Dirty Dancing (1987)
Dirty Dancing explores the new dance crazes that came with the music from the 50's. White teenagers looked to black culture for music and dance. Parents couldn't understand what was happening to their children. No one knew what would happen to the kids in the 60's though...



Grease (1979)
Grease originally appeared on Broadway and then became a movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.



American Graffiti (1973)
American Graffiti has some of the most popular music from the 50's and early 60's. It's about cars, rock and roll and being a teenager in post war America.
