But anyways, this wasn't very good. I was done with the movie and there was still a whole hour left!

Which old Greek movies from the 50s through 70s are the best?

Based on a combination of film critics' choices and my personal taste, here's a Top 10 + 2 in no particular order:

Η Κάλπικη Λίρα - The Counterfeit Coin (1955)

My all time favourite and always mentioned in the top 5 of film critics, if not first. It's a dramedy of four different stories connected through the creation of one counterfeit coin. A bloody genius, bittersweet film.

Ο Δράκος - The Dragon (1956)

Drama / Thriller. Starring the great comedian Dinos Iliopoulos in his only dramatic role, it's the story of a quiet, ordinary man who realises he looks a lot like a wanted criminal. When I watched this movie, I felt so much pain for the fact that Iliopoulos did not play another dramatic role... Not that he had any problems, he shone in comedy and is one of our most successful actors but he was SO good in drama. Like most great comedians, actually. I believe you can find the movie on YouTube.

Της Κακομοίρας - World Gone Mad (1963)

With a title that was never sufficiently translated to English because it's a colloquial phrase meaning something close to a "mess", it is considered the best Greek comedy, which means a lot because this is the Greek cinema's specialty. It is also known by the alternative title Ο Μπακαλόγατος which means something like a colloquial "The Grocery shop man" and it is a story about a grocery shop owner who hired the weirdest person possible as a right-hand. This movie is rated with an 8.8 in IMDb, an insane rating as comedies go. Posting a vid because this scene may kill me someday:

Στέλλα - Stella (1955)

Romantic drama. The volatile relationship between an emancipated and lively woman with a selfish and controlling man and its consequences.

Ο Θίασος - The Travelling Players (1975)

An internationally acclaimed and awarded film by the famous Greek director Theo Angelopoulos, photosets of which you might see often on Tumblr. It's a long film with the notoriously slow style of Angelopoulos, which is something you either love or hate. It is Greece's history from the '30s through the '50s, as experienced by a travelling music company.

Η Θεία Από Το Σικάγο - The Auntie From Chicago (1957)

Comedy. Calliope, a Greek expat in Chicago, USA, visits her brother's family in Greece, only to realise her retired colonel brother is a very strict and conservative father, making it very difficult for his four daughters to enjoy their youth and find love. Calliope comes up with wild plans to marry her older nieces and make her brother Charilaos more open-minded with progressively ferocious ways.

Συνοικία Tο Όνειρο - A Neighborhood Named "The Dream" (1961)

The second movie directed by famous actor Alekos Alexandrakis is now considered one of the best Greek movies with an incredible score, but back in its day it was hated and heavily censored for showcasing the struggles of the people living in a poor neighborhood in Athens, causing debts and dismay to its creator.

Το Ξύλο Βγήκε Από Τον Παράδεισο - Maiden's Cheek (1959)

Comedy. A young teacher with a humble background gets his first job in a private high school with rich and insufferably spoiled girls. While the rest of the teachers have entirely given up, he is determined to discipline this wild school. In order to save some space here, a movie shot in 1963 with the same protagonists, about a girl willingly dropping the last class in high school to marry but then regretting it, Χτυποκάρδια Στο Θρανίο - Thorbs At The Desk, was also critically and commercially successful.

Τα Κόκκινα Φανάρια - The Red Lanterns (1963)

On a totally different climate than the above, this one was a drama nominated for Best Foreign movie in the Oscars, about the lives of five prostitutes working in Troumba until the enforcement of a law that was banning the brothels of the area (area in Piraeus, the port of Athens).

Ευδοκία - Eudocia (1971)

A movie that typically critics love and it was called by the Greek Films Critics Association as the best Greek movie up to the '80s, something that I don't see reflected in IMDb though. Anyway, this is an erotic drama of a surgeant falling in love and quickly marrying a prostitute working near the military camp. The marriage is tumultuous and the surgeant is both very attracted and repelled by Eudocia. The couple tries to resist and rebel against the stereotypes and toxicity of the narrow-minded society, to no avail. The movie is very famous for its score as well, which Greeks genuinely consider "our second national anthem".

Ιφιγένεια - Iphigeneia (1977)

The ancient tragic tale of Iphigeneia, daughter of King Agamemnon, who was sacrificed in order to appease the gods before the journey of the Greeks to Troy.

*Note: This list is critic-centered. There are however numerous Greek comedies produced in that period ranging similar ratings and being hugely commercially successful. It's just that I had to stop somewhere and include a variety of themes. But honestly any Greek comedy of the 60s is pretty entertaining to watch, with very talented actors.

Chistuck, from the Greek letter Χ (pronounced like chiropractor).

Fankids but genetically descended from the Alpha Kids and raised by the Beta Kids, who in turn have raised themselves. "What the fuck", you ask?

(There's not that much writing below.)

There was a space-time rift of weirdness on the meteor when the young ectobiologist (John) was creating his friends and their parents. Duplicate timelines that merged ended up with the guardian babies all deceased on the meteor, but all the Beta Kids and these weird, never-should-have-existed kids, being sent back in time to yet another different strange Earth.

So, in canon it goes:

Mom+Bro=Dave & Rose, and Nanna+Grandpa=Jade & John.

Here it is all mixed up and genes get crossed, with one kid from each new bond. That means:

Mom+Nanna=Kid, Mom+Grandpa=Kid, Nanna+Bro=Kid, and Bro+Grandpa=Kid.

They are not all related to each other by blood. The Nanna+Mom Kid is not related to the Grandpa+Bro Kid, and the Mom+Grandpa Kid is not related to the Nanna+Bro Kid.

The timing of the meteors has also changed so that the Beta Kids, who act as guardians to these Chi Kids, each raise each other in succession at the tender age of 16, with the exception of Jade who arrives first and is raised by the First Guardian.

I want to, at least for now keep some mystery, so when I refer to "second, third" Chi Kids, I am not referring to their order in the photoset. I am keeping it vague.

First Guardian: Arrives billions of years ago on Earth.

Jade: Arrives in 1943, is raised by the First Guardian.

Dave: Arrives in 1959, is raised by Jade and the First Guardian (sorta).

Rose: Arrives in 1975, is raised by Dave.

John: Arrives in 1991, is raised by Rose.

Oldest Chi Kid: Arrives October 23 2006, is raised by Jade.

Second Chi Kid: Arrives October 24 2006, is raised by Dave.

Third Chi Kid: Arrives March 14 2007, is raised by Rose.

Fourth Chi Kid: Arrives November 2 2007, is raised by John.

Basically long story short is that Andy, the Sylph of Time is going to try and go back to the Chi Kids origins and try to direct and navigate their team members through into the Beta Kids session, follow John onto the battleship and eventually to LOWAS after Game Over and then into the retconned Alpha Kids session to claim their prize so that they can live too, because they have no Space player and the Chi session is doomed no matter what so they have to get out of dodge, so to speak.
