Films noir is the proper plural.

Whàt a selection !!

THE best Western no one knows about is, IMO, the 1966 Masterpiece by director /producer Ralph Nelson, " DUEL AT DIABLO " . James Garner in a straight dramatic role------Sidney Poitier playing an ex Army scout-------Dennis Weaver as the villain --------Swedish actress Bibi Anderson ---------British actor Bill Travers--------all combine for one of my all-time Top 10 Westerns ever made.------------------------MJL, 78 y/o

Spartacus

2:55 HAWK TUAH

The Quiet Man

I love THE BIG COUNTRY

Oh, I do love it when I’m told what I have and haven’t seen!

My personal favorites are They Were Expendable and The Searchers instead of Young Mr. Lincoln and My Darling Clementine. I think Abe Lincoln in Illinois is a much better in-depth film about Lincoln's pre-presidential life. My Darling Clementine in my view has too many superfluous characters, woeful historical inaccuracies and a weak half-hearted town setting with only Victor Mature's great performance keeping it from being a complete dud.

Maybe ~ Last train from gun hill~ Kirk Douglas, Anthony Quinn, good story.

Im about to watch this video but heres the top 5 from my head 1 - The Searchers 2 - The Grapes of Wrath 3 - The Quiet Man 4 - How Green Was My Valley and Stagecoach 5 - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Not one of his best but I enjoyed The Two Mrs. Carrolls.

I've seen all of these movies so how could they be never seen.

No Spartacus? Unbelievable.

I've seen most of these - a good list.

Nice work!

“Ace in the hole”yeah that’s a good one.

I love this shit

I think most people over 60 will have seen all or most of these films, I am 70 and have seen eight of them.

Mine: 1. The Swimmer 2. Run Silent, Run Deep 3. The Train 4. From Here to Eternity 5. Local Hero

FRANK ZAPPA MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Too bad Bogart never made a film with Hitchcock. In A Lonely Place would have been my candidate for that collaboration.

Il avait un jeu d'acteur très éclectique, il etait inclassable, le duo avec Gary Cooper dans "Vera Cruz " est resté......légendaire !

You undermine yourself somewhat with the poor pronunciation of French names. It's not "Elaine" Delon. And "Jean", as you pronounce it, is a man's name, which is different from "Jeanne" (a woman's name). You can look up these pronunciations online.

Spanish scenery, not Itailan....but great recommendations. Thanks!!!!

you missed 'The life and times of Judge Roy Bean', surreal but brilliant.

I have seen all on your list. The majority of your list is very well known. You need to pick b minor films from Eagle Lion or RKO that are not talked about.

Terrific selections. All are top notch films. Very well done!!!

Excellent choices plus mentioning Sweet Smell of Sucess. Burt Lancaster made so many fine films it is hard to narrow them down to a Top 10 or more. 🤔The Leopard was filmed without dialogue which was to be added later. Lancaster dubs his own voice for the film's American version released in 1963 by 20th Century Fox. Sadly, the Italian version which is the most prevalent today his voice is dubbed by a different actor. 😔

The Big Sky is a Kirk Classic

He was making the Leopard in Paris. He flew to Washington to speak at the march on Washington, gave his speech, the took a cab back to the airport and flew immediately back to Paris. I was always impressed by that. I loved watching him - so macho and good lookking.

I would add his 1962 film, Lonely Are The Brave. His performance in it is a tour de force and the movie was actually his personal favorite too. His son, Michael, would even make a later film, Falling Down, that shares many thematic elements with it. Kirk Douglas was a master of explosive acting. I'd say he(alongside Burt Lancaster & James Cagney) pioneered & perfected that intense acting style that you would later see in the likes of of many great actors after them(Jack Nicholson comes to mind, who coincidentally played the character in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest that Kirk Douglas originated on the stage first). This was a fantastic list. Kirk Douglas definitely is one of the greats!

I have lucky to see 8 out of 10 of these great films. I bet if they made Sweet Smell of Success today the Hudsucker character would most likely be a social media influencer.

Wonderful overview, thank you!

What about A man called Horse with Richard Harris well worth a mention

Shame on you i think "7 Days in May" will always be my favorite Lancaster film. He plays opposite Kirk Douglas another great actor.

Murder by Contract is the only one I haven't seen at least once. But good list.

Perhaps you could list "Top Ten Noir films featuring Lisbeth Scott". Too Late for Tears, Dead Reckoning and The Strange Love of Martha Ivers.

Great list!!!

How is Grapes not number 1??!!!! Idk.... It's a perfect film. Even the many small part actors are memorable. Its like you're watching the actual depression

THE Searchers is the Laurence of Arabia American epic and Fords masterpiece.

He was amazing! I'm so glad he met Betty on set and he finally had true love

For a month 😂😂😂😂

Sounds like something Megadeth would do

Nice playin but I call bs on not playing for a month 😂

The greatest actor ever. Tough talented. And very funny those were the days it's hard to pick but here go's 1 vera cruz 2elmer gantry 3 the swimmer 4 lawman 5 sultanas raid. And the rest are close. Thanks burt😅

SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS is a key 50s film & others not listed here but deserving of attention are KISS OF DEATH, FORCE OF EVIL & OUT OF THE PAST. All these are great noirs as are many of the others listed here. How about IN A LONELY PLACE, one of Bogart‘s greatest characterizations on the level of his Fred C. Dobbs.

Most of these here are especially fine Ford films but I cannot put THE SEARCHERS on the same level which. I realize is a minority opinion. Wayne‘s performance here though may be his best in a Ford film but the movies racism & all too typically inane humor compromises it’s better moments such as an early revealing & beautifully understated scene between Wayne, Dorothy Jordan, & Ward Bond. A better Ford western, IMO, remains SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON.

I will say to the viewer seek out one of Lancaster‘s best films & most unusual characterizations: SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS. This is also a key Hollywood film of the 50s & definitely deserves to be on your list. The other films listed here are all notable achievements as well & THE LEOPARD especially.

Gotta see gun crazy good list
