Writer Graeme Ross prepared this list. I’ve seen 19 of the 20. (I haven’t seen Detour.) Most are available on disc or shown on TCM. I agree with many of his picks but I would put them in a different order. Out of the Past is #1 for me followed by Criss Cross. The Big Sleep is a great film. I saw it recently and was impressed by how well written the script is.
I’m glad he included The Big Heat and The Big Combo. I would rank them both higher than he does.
