Join us for a discussion of Delbert Mann's directorial debut Marty. It won the Best Picture Oscar for 1955, a watershed movie year that brought the world Disneyland and James Dean. It ranks at number 44 on our Best Picture Countdown.*

Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court.

*What is this list?

We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
