Love with the Proper Stranger with Natalie Wood.

[@jtclaf]

Sand Pebbles is my favorite film of his, but his best acting was in Papillon....

[@shahidarshad7397]

I am a fan of great Steve McQueen. RIP. What an Actor he was ...

[@johnmiller4282]

The sand pebbles is his best movie. A movie I can rewatch and see something new every time

[@joeflores615]

My top five.Bullitt, The Magnificent Seven, The Thomas Crown Affair , The Getaway and The Great Escape.

[@xScooterAZx]

The only one I'll pass on is The Getaway. Not a fan of Ali MacGraw.

[@2011littlejohn1]

The Magnificent Seven was a very radical film for its time. The dialogue was innovative, funny and impressive. It was also the first time he was really noticed in the U.K.

[@thomast8539]

Not on this list are The War Lover, Soldier in the Rain, Tom Horn, Love With The Proper Stranger, The Hunter, Le Mans, The Reivers, and Nevada Smith. This guy didn't make bad films.

[@patbrennan6572]

I really liked soldier in the rain with Jackie Gleason. If you get a chance, watch it.

[@thierryjulien572]

Since Josh randall Steve McQueen is one my favorite actors. Dead too soon A real legend....

[@LoneStarLawman]

I really liked his performance in "Bullitt."

[@thomast8539]

He was at his most serious as Frank Bullitt. Only twice did Frank let the veil drop, when the nurse brought him a sandwich and when he met his girlfriend at her job and tried to help her with figures from a book. Frank Bullitt is probably the best fictional cop on film, next to Popeye Doyle and Harry Callahan.

[@garyt19651]

The Great Escape # 1 , I totally agree

[@stevejanowiak1982]

I love Junior Bonner and Tom Horn. Very underrated but awesome movies.

Great escape... ultimate action

[@rkpoetry6627]

With a troubled private life and a great passion for motor racing Steve McQueen(RIP) still managed to dilver over dozens of brilliant performance's in just 30 odd films which proves that King of Cool was a true professional,After the success of "Towering Inferno"Death is inevitable but at the peak of his career McQueen left the silver screen for 4/5 years which to me was very sad,An oscar and what else McQueen would have achieved in those missing Years is something we will never know..King of Cool a true Legend.

[@Lucky-zf5jd]

Not only The Magnificent Seven but also Nevada Smith and Tom Horn were great westerns featuring him.

[@cynthiashields1982]

Love Nevada Smith. Yes, Tom Horn is another good one.

[@DragerPilot]

Yep, that’s right.

[@arctodussimus6198]

I was surprised Tom Horn wasn’t on this list… or Nevada Smith. They’re certainly in my dvd collection.

[@jeffsager958]

.....I agree!!....

[@michealfigueroa6325]

The first two are a bit light weight , they are very intertaining but still light weight Tom Horn is dark, heavy and I think reflects McQueen's real self at this time of his life and work.

[@clemensmeyer7023]

junior bonner - one of the best neo westerns/rodeo movies ever. a true american movie made by sam peckinpah. great heartbreaking movie about the last run of a rodeo rider.

'Nevada Smith' was also a very good revenge movie (It was based on a character in 'The Carpetbaggers')

[@Nestor123057]

"Love With the Proper Stranger", made me want to be Steve McQueen. He was my role model.

[@thomasthomas2418]

For me, it was "The Getaway". Not only for the action but for Ali McGraw.

[@Nestor123057]

@@thomasthomas2418 He was kind of abusive towards her in the movie and maybe in real life. The way he slapped her around in the movie was always upsetting to me and hard to watch, and I'm a guy.

[@raleighsanford5111]

The Getaway is the Texas of my youth, the only flaw is Steve drinks a Coke in a bottle, a real Texan would be drinking a DP, but other than that, it is a trip down nostalgia lane every time.

[@kevinpalmer5709]

I didn't drink DP until I was an adult. Too acidic @ the time.

[@alienlv426ify]

My favorites are: 1.- Bullit 2.- The Thomas Crown affair 3.- The Getaway

[@maureencora1]

#10. "Hell is for Heroes"

[@jamesec1949]

So many great movies. This should have been the top 15. I put Bullitt first with The Great Escape second. It’s just a matter of personal taste. Sand Pebbles was also excellent but who wants to see the hero die?

[@xScooterAZx]

Third one being The Magnificent Seven.

[@georgemallory797]

My favorite is The Getaway. 2nd is The Thomas Crown Affair.

[@paulorlando5877]

The Getaway, Cincinnati Kid,Bullit.

[@geckobrah4201]

A man’s man. Every guy wants to be him.

[@cynthiashields1982]

McQueen was also fantastic in the movie, The Reivers, which is another really good movie. Actually, it's a must-see movie.

[@ellenthorne8222]

The Reivers was the first movie I saw at the cinema, a lot of my favourites on the list

[@andresferrari5859]

I agree, "The Reivers" was an exceptional film that McQueen showed his very real acting skills in.

[@mshahnazi7636]

All of your choices are great, but for me The Sand Pebbles should be Number one, The Magnificent Seven Number Two and Cincinnati Kid Three for their World-Wide Phenomenon. I can still remember as a child that I cried when Watching Steve's character Holman die at the end of The Sand Pebbles. He was also great in Junior Bonner (Directed also by Sam Peckinpah) which is the story of the Love and admiration of a son for his father. He was the Coolest Cat in the sixties.

[@xScooterAZx]

I've always loved all his movies but one/. The Getaway. Not a big fan of Ali MacGraw. This list has it right with number 1 being The Great Escape. I knew it would that one or Bullitt.

"Hell is for Heroes"should also have been included for his acting skills.

[@abjectt5440]

I forgot about that one. Thanks for reminding me.

[@seanohare5488]

[@joeflores615]

Not too many know about that film. His acting was superb. Should have had more recognition for much of his work.

[@Ron71997]

Not only was Steve the king of cool, his acting was at another level, he was a stunt man, a race car driver, a lover of life, a style icon - those crystal blue eyes were as intense as he was. A true legend. My top movie for Steve was Bullitt.

[@jerryblair6995]

Steve McQueen'The King of Cool Legend

[@andresferrari5859]

Had he lived long enough he would have eventually won an Oscar. I was and still am a McQueen fan. With one exception, I have all of the movies listed in this list. In my opinion, "The Sand Pebbles" is a grossly under appreciated movie by most people and one of many exceptionally acted in movies by Steve McQueen. I think his demeaner worked against him in the Hollywood community for Oscar recognition.

[@abjectt5440]

He was terrific. You're right about The Sand Pebbles. My favourite is Bullitt. That car chase was epic with those carburated engines growling.

[@patrickfennell6372]

He should have one one from several of his films, Papilon was his best role.

[@thomast8539]

They finally recognized John Wayne, so undoubtedly, they would have come around to give McQueen his due as well.

[@nstix2009xitsn]

@@thomast8539 John Wayne was a great actor; as Jim Garner observed, "Steve wasn't an actor." However, Cruel was very good in The San Pablo.

[@bayouboy8644]

San Pebbles could easily be his Number One Movie. It was also exceptionally written.

[@jeffj9322]

Remembering Steve McQueen born on March 24, 1930. He was an American actor. His antihero persona, emphasized during the height of the counterculture of the 1960's, made him a top box-office draw for his films of the late 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. He was nicknamed the "King of Cool" and used the alias Harvey Mushman in motor races. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_McQueen

The Sand Pebbles is by far McQueen's best movie and one of the best adventure films of all time.

[@allenwenzel7272]

It's absolutely McQueen's best film. He had to play a "China Sailor" from the 1920's, which he did perfectly. In the Great Escape, they let him wear the same clothes that he rode dirt bikes in on the weekend. Cool, movie, but The Sand Pebbles is his best, IMO!

[@photoivphoto6860]

[@ericseal9027]

The top 3. "Bullett", "The Cincinnati Kid" and "The Thomas Crown Affair." Steve McQueen's best roles in San Francisco, New Orleans and Boston. (An honorable mention- he was really good in "The Towering Inferno", too, as the no-nonsense, battalion fire chief.)

1. PAPILLON 🖤 2. THE TOWERING INFERNO 🖤 3. THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN 🖤

[@nobodyaskedbut]

McQueen ranks in the top 10 in all-time screen presence. However, he never really got very many great roles but what he did with the roles he got was amazing. His presence made many of his films very good but perhaps not a truly great one. His top 10 in no order: The Cincinnati Kid / Love With the Proper Stranger / The Towering Inferno / Bullitt / Soldier in the Rain / The Sand Pebbles / The St. Louis Bank Robbery / Baby the Rain Must Fall / Papillon / An Enemy of the People.

[@jennifersman7990]

One other point is that the list of films he turned down could’ve made him a bigger star. Among the films he turned down was Apocalypse Now, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, First Blood and Sorcerer

[@jeffs7915]

The Sand Peebles is amazing.

[@toddlenard7602]

I agree with others in this comment section. I grew up watching him on wanted Dead or alive. I still watch reruns of that over and over I thought he was awesome. I loved it when he capture someone and he just looked down and say let's go.!. He's just one of those type of people that you could tell he was battling those inner demons but yet he was using them to entertain us all. Seems like nowadays we don't have these iconic people in the movies anymore.

[@Bhakti-rider]

I'll see you now, hear?

[@nedmerrill5705]
