What are your best/worst/favorites from this multi-talented master?

[Cyclonus]

The only one I've seen is The Maltese Falcon, which is a very good film.

Quentin, what did you think of The Bible? I hear it's one of his worst. My mom actually saw it in theaters as a kid and she recalls that it was really slow moving. Leonard Maltin gave it a rating of BOMB but he's always cranky anyways.

[Klaus Weasley]

I've seen four: The African Queen, The Maltese Falcon, Key Largo and Prizzi's Honor. All great films but I think the best is: The Maltese Falcon.

[Deckard]

[Buck Turgidson]

Everything listed here is worthy, as are Night of the Iguana (probably my favorite of his films) and the grossly underrated Moby Dick.

[ColinM]

My Top Five would look like...

1) The Maltese Falcon (9/10)
2) Key Largo (8/10)
3) The African Queen (8/10)
4) High Sierra (7/10)
5) Beat the Devil (6/10)

Still got a lot to see, though. I didn't like his version of Moulin Rouge...

1. The African Queen
2. The Maltese Falcon
3. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
4. Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison
5. Key Largo

I think The Man Who Would Be King encapsulates "epic". That's my pick.

[Buck Turgidson]

Read his autobiography, An Open Book. Very informative and entertaining.

A man's man.
