      We've all seen classic films that are undeniably excellent, yet lack the enjoyment factor. However, the movies from the 1950s strike a balance of both greatness and fun.

      Bette Davis portrays a Broadway icon determined to maintain her stardom, while Anne Baxter plays Eve Harrington, a clever manipulator aiming to take her place. This dynamic has appeared countless times since, from The Devil Wears Prada to Showgirls, but none have executed it as brilliantly as All About Eve.

      Additionally, it includes an early performance by Marilyn Monroe. Just think about how remarkable it is that the quote, “Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night!” emerged shortly after commercial air travel began to take off.

      It won the Oscar for Best Picture but isn’t one of those tiresome winners that take themselves too seriously — from the very first frames, it’s a delightful film and stands as one of the most cherished movies of the 1950s and of all time.
