1. MIDNIGHT COWBOY (1969) A
2. DARLING (1965) A
3. THE DAY OF THE LOCUST (1975) A
4. MARATHON MAN (1976) A
5. THE BELIEVERS (1987) A

Like John Huston, the late, great Schlesinger earned all A's from this fan.

Midnight Cowboy is an extremely moving powerful film. It is my favorite on his resume. He will be missed.

I love Marathon Man. That movie is so intense. I'll never look at a dentist the same way again....

[Sugar Magnolia]

Of his films, I've only seen Midnight Cowboy(10/10) and Marathon Man(8/10), but both were great...

[QUENTIN]

1.) The Falcon and The Snowman -10/10
2.) Midnight Cowboy -9/10
3.) Sunday Bloody Sunday -8/10
4.) Darling -8/10
5.) Marathon Man -7/10

Unfortunately I've still not seen Day of The Locust, shame that after he reached his peak with Falcon, the rest of his films basically all were shite (besides Pacific Heights, which was decent) and that he ended on a serious down note with Eye For An Eye and Next Best Thing... He's still the man who deserved an Oscar for an X rated movie, for that alone he'd go down in the film history books...

[Annie Hall]

I know this is one of his lesser known flicks, and I know I haven't seen most of his most well-respected flicks. But, I'm going against the pack and saying

Cold Comfort Farm

I own my two favourites...

Midnight Cowboy
Billy Liar
