Great list, Malte!

Well, I normally would count Golden Age until around 1959 and had totally missed that at first.

Well, there’s no 100% answer. But generally, 1948 is used as the cut-off point because the Paramount verdict ended vertical integration, and television challenged feature films. So it’s generally seen as the fall of the classical “Golden Age” Hollywood studio system; they at the very least had to re-think their strategy (with indie films, spectaculars etc.). But I know that the late, great David Bordwell extended the type of films made until about 1960 in his seminal book Classical Hollywood Cinema (1985), even if the studio system was rather different after ’48.

So just a convenient cut-off point for lists and recommendations like these.
