In the saloon scene in Ok Corral that you showed, the guy in the rust colored clothes who's about to get stabbed, is a young Lee Van Cleef. Don't forget about Lee.

How about General Custer

I know hardly anyone is going to agree with me because he was in much =more famous films but IMO the BEST he was in was his debut. The Killers directed by Robert Siodmak,, a top notch noir. I prefer it to such biggies as From Here To Eternity.

Elmer gantry the false teacher using his personality to Convert people much like the present day evangelists!

not a bad film here. Impossible to say "best" for me. Prefer "favorite" So in no order....The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, My Darling Clementine, Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, one of the 3 most beautiful color films I've ever seen. Yes I got 6....So sorry.

Where is The Searchers?

As a noir lover I must say I've seen all 10. That aside, your list is solid. For the record my 8 favorite noirs are in no order Vertigo. Out of the Past, Touch of Evil. Kiss Me Deadly, The Lineup, White Heat, Shoot the Piano Player and The Night of the Hunter (if it is a noir) My review of Detour from a few years ago. SPOILER ALERT!!. "Saw DETOUR on Noir Alley last night. If you usually root for the underdog as I do, it's easy to like the director Edgar Ulmer. Like Joseph Lewis, he frequently had to work with small budgets and that brought out the best in his creativity. Detour is a testament to this--how a director can make gold out of rocks. Just about the most bleak, claustrophobic, downbeat, nightmarish, fatalistic noir ever made. And in the midst of all this is one of the most riveting female performances in American cinema of the 40's. Watch her hidden soft side in a scene at the apartment. Ann Savage's tour de force performance should have at least been nominated for an Academy award. But fat chance of the Academy even giving a thought to a movie such as this. The abrupt, downbeat, complaining ending is perfectly fitting for this low budget masterpiece . Here are three different views 1. " Using unknown actors and filming with no more than three minimal sets, a sole exterior (a used-car lot) to represent Los Angeles, a few stock shots and some shaky back-projection, Ulmer conjures up a black, paranoid vision, totally untainted by glamour, of shabby characters trapped in a spiral of irrational guilt." .2. " Detour remains a masterpiece of its kind. There have been hundreds of better movies, but none with the feel for doom portrayed by Ulmer." 3. From Roger Ebert. "Do these limitations and stylistic transgressions hurt the film? No. They are the film. “Detour” is an example of material finding the appropriate form. Two bottom-feeders from the swamps of pulp swim through the murk of low-budget noir and are caught gasping in Ulmer's net. They deserve one another. At the end, Al is still complaining: “Fate, for some mysterious force, can put the finger on you or me, for no good reason at all" I found these facts about the film interesting.----In 1972, Ulmer said in an interview that the film was shot in six days. However, in a 2004 documentary, Ulmer's daughter Arianne presented a shooting script title page which noted, "June 14, 1945-June 29. Camera days 14." Moreover, Ann Savage was contracted to Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC) for the production of Detour for three six-day weeks, and she later said the film was shot in four six-day weeks, with an additional four days of location work in the desert at Lancaster, California. While popular belief long held that Detour was shot for about $20,000 Noah Isenberg, in conducting research for his book on the film, discovered that the production's final cost was closer to $100,000. As detailed in Savage Detours: The Life and Work of Ann Savage, great care was taken during the post production of Detour. The final picture was tightly cut down from a much longer-shooting script, which had been shot with more extended dialogue sequences than appear in the released print. The soundtrack is also fully realized, with ambient backgrounds, motivated sound effects, and a carefully scored original musical soundtrack by Leo Erdody, who had previously worked with Ulmer on Strange Illusion (1945). Erdody took extra pains to underscore Vera's introduction with a sympathetic theme, giving the character a light musical shading in contrast to her razor-sharp dialogue and its ferocious delivery by Ann Savage. With reshoots out of the question for such a low-budget movie, director Ulmer put storytelling above continuity. For example, he flipped the negative for some of the hitchhiking scenes. This showed the westbound New York City to Los Angeles travel of the character with a right-to-left flow across the screen, though it also made cars seem to be driving on the "wrong" side of the road, with the hitchhiker getting into the car on the driver's side. The car owned by the character Charlie Haskell and later driven by Al Roberts is itself an integral part of the film's plot and is certainly the most memorable prop item in the production. The automobile is a customized 1941 Lincoln Continental V-12 convertible, a base model of a "Cabriolet" but one that features bolted-on rear wheel-well covers and some exterior components added later from Lincoln's limited 1942 version of the same model Reportedly, the production budget for Detour was so tight that director Ulmer decided to use this car, his "personal car", for the cross-country crime drama. Detour was generally well received on its initial release, with positive reviews in the Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety in other major newspapers and trade publications. Contemporary screenings of Detour were also not confined to grindhouse theaters; they were presented at top "movie houses". For example, in downtown Los Angeles in May 1946, it played at the 2,200-seat Orpheum in combination with a live stage show featuring the hit Slim Gaillard Trio and the Buddy Rich Orchestra. Business was reported to be excellent despite a transit strike. The film was released to television in the early 1950s, and it was broadcast in syndicated TV markets until the advent of mass cable systems. TV reviewers casually recommended it in the 1960s and 1970s as a worthwhile "B" movie. Then, by the 1980s, critics began citing Detour increasingly as a prime example of film noir, and revival houses, universities and film festivals began presenting the crime drama in tributes to Edgar G. Ulmer and his work. The director died in 1972, unfortunately before the full revival of Detour and the critical re-evaluation of his career occurred. Tom Neal died the same year as Ulmer, but Ann Savage lived long enough to experience the newfound acclaim. From 1985 until just two years before her death in 2008, she made a series of live appearances at public screenings of the film. Your thoughts? I'm sure many here have opinions of this movie"

What a performance in the train, one of Hollywood's greats. Not forgetting field of dreams 😊

FOR ME HIS BEST WAS " VERA CRUZ' OPPOSITE GARY COOPER AND LANCASTER"s ROLE ALL DRESSED IN BLACK AND HIS SMILE SHOWING ALL HIS WHITE TEETH AND THE SECOND "GUNFIGHT ST THE OK CORRAL" WITH KIRK DOUGLAS, WAS A CLASSIC SUPERBLY DIRECTED BY JOHN STURGES

The Swimmer is an amazing movie.

I am a huge fan of "Young Savages," which is Burt Lancaster's first collaboration with John Frankenheimer.

I saw him in professional

An <excellent> liat

seen them all. Gun Crazy has Peggy Cummins - great ass

Noir is one syllable, not two. It's not nu-ar, it's nwah. It's Billy Wilder, not Billy Wildler.

Considering Frankenheimer and Penn both came into movies from TV around the same time (along with Sidney Lumet), I'm really curious what led to Penn's firing.

Atlantic City got best picture; I believe.

BURT LANCASTER

درودبر برت لنگستر یادش گرامی ❤❤❤

I can’t believe that at all the posts,his debut film “The Killers”,where he should have been nominated for best supporting actor was not nored.s

I vote for The Kentuckian. He directed this great family adventure movie.

Joan was robbed for another Oscar for Sudden Feàr

“畢”還有一電影與“阿倫迪龍”拍攝的、本人只記得電影名字“龍虎雙霸天”、“畢”是特務人員因太太誤被ClA人員搜查期間遇害、“畢”為太太報仇親自殺死那局長🎉

“The Grapes of Wrath” is NOT “based off of” the novel by John Steinbeck! It is based “ON “ the novel! Didn’t you pass freshman English in high school?

Westerns you've never seen? Seriously? The Big Country? Gunfight at the OK Corral?

OK Corral, Apache, Vera Cruz, Jim Thorpe, Trapeze

I was waiting but I have seen them all. You loose

Also a MUST is "Out of the Past' with Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer. . .Mitchum is at his "noir" best and Jane Greer's performance is often considered the very first "femme fatale". It also was only the second film of some guy named Kirk Douglas. Great movie directed by Jacques Tourneur.

✨️Humphrey Bogart ✨️ indubitably a unique actor one of the Greatest Troubadours of Life Ever 🎭

✨️ Burt lancaster✨️ will always be remembered as one of the Greatest Troubadours of Life Ever without a doubt he's the actors actor ✨️🎭✨️

SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS

I like the quiet man, and she wore a yellow ribbon, and grapes or wrath, drums along the Mohawk.

They Were Expendable must be on any such list.

Valdez is coming.

Though I also feel there are a couple of wrong choices, I must mention that "Petrified" only helped him with an initial breakthrough, but also typed him to toil for years at Warners as either the bad guy support, or sadly miscast in featured roles, like the Irish Horse Trainer in "Dark Victory" (1939) or much worse, as the Mexican bandito in "Virginia City" (1940), before he finally became a star late in 1941 with "High Sierra" & "The Maltese Falcon".

ΤΗΕ PROFESIONALS........KILLERS........SEVEN DAYS IN MAY

All great but my personal list would start with The Quiet Man☘️

You hit the right films in his career!!!!!

All good movies, but you left out most of my favorites, just one is Jim Thorpe All American

His athleticism in "Trapeze" and "The Crimson Pirate" is unparalleled in movies.

‘The Train’ and ‘Local Hero’ definitely 👍

Not mentioned but one of Burts best was his portrail of PT Barnum. I think it was a made for tv mini series. I loved it.

Judgement at Nuremberg

Agree with you on Lee Marvin's performance in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Amazing portrayal of a vicious outlaw.

Have you ever seen Silverado? It is a great western movie.

The Kentuckian

Looking forward to checking this out. I'd love to do a remake of Lonesome Dove.

"vera cruz", "le train", "les tueurs", "le guépard", "le vent de la plaine". Comment s'appelle le film ou il promet de faire pleuvoir à des paysans lors d'une secheresse.

Left Hand of God w/ Lee J Cobb

Another great list with stellar analysis for a director that I personally would not have even attempted to summarize in just 5 films. He was a mountain. You did a great job. Love that the younger generations can appreciate moves many sadly dismiss as outdated. Today my younger collogues were talking about how songs got their names. And I mentioned that the Buddy Holly song 'That'll be the day' was from The Searchers. John Wayne's continual annoyance with Jeffrey Hunter saying the line repeatedly in a stern dismissive tone. Holly and the band watched the move and made a classic song. Of course nobody I was talking to, much younger than I, knew who Buddy Holly was or had even seen a John Wayne movie. Again, very refreshing to see others appreciate classic film. As a kid I wanted to watch My Darling Clementine because it was mentioned in a MASH episode and so began my fascination with John Ford.
