This includes modern noir ''set'' during the Fifties like ''L.A. Confidential'' or ''The Black Dahlia''. The other popular genres in this decade are TheMusical, TheWestern, the BMovie, the EpicMovie, widescreen cinema. Formerly the 50s was considered a weak era for Hollywood, these days a growing contingent considers it the greatest period of Hollywood's GoldenAge.
