The Bridge On The River Kwai and The Sweet Smell of Success are also from 1957! They're both better than The Seventh Seal for me. Witness For The Prosecution is good and I'd recommend you re-watch it since you quit partway through, it doesn't get going until 40ish minutes or something iirc, the trial is when it gets juicy. I'm guilty of not seeing Funny Face through from that year but in fairness, I only watched that movie because of an Audrey Hepburn crush....it's a musical and became hard to sit through.
I really gotta see more foreign films from that year. 3:10 To Yuma, A Face In The Crowd, and possibly An Affair To Remember are the only other hollywood movies from that year to interest me so overall, not really much in quantity I would say that Hollywood made that year which was highly rated compared to modern years. Don't see any good noirs, lots of mediocre looking westerns thoguh.
