This is a list of notable Hindi movies from the 1950s which I have categorized as GEMs. As explained elsewhere on this website (in the “About” section”), a “GEM” is an all-time classic which stands out from the rest (at least in my opinion); in other words, it is a Genuine Masterpiece which is greatly enjoyable and memorable.
Note that the list is sortable by each column. (Multiple levels of sorting are possible by sorting more than one column in succession, from lowest to highest.)
Most of the movies are available for free viewing on YouTube, and a link is provided below in the “Video” column. In other cases, the link may indicate that the movie is available to Netflix or Amazon Prime subscribers or for a nominal fee on YouTube. Many of the movies are also available for checkout at public libraries.
