- THE MALTESE FALCON (1941) Arguably, any of the top three films on this list could land in this spot. “The Maltese Falcon” seems to have maintained the largest following, and is considered essential viewing by any true film buff.
- THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948) His most awarded film, “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” brought Huston Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay and a Golden Globe for Best Director, as well as other awards.
- THE AFRICAN QUEEN (1951) One of my personal all time favorite movies, “The African Queen” is a nearly perfect romantic adventure film. In their only onscreen pairing, legendary stars Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn have palpable chemistry as the rough gin-drinking Charlie Allnutt and the prim and proper Rose Sayer.
- KEY LARGO (1948) Huston added a twist to the genre he practically invented. Instead of the usual dark alleys and seedy apartments, this film noir takes place in the sultry Florida Keys.
- Chinatown. Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Huston. 26 votes. In the heart of Los Angeles, private investigator Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) is immersed in a web of deceit and corruption in the neo-noir classic Chinatown.
- The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean. Paul Newman, Victoria Principal, Anthony Perkins. 21 votes. Saved from near death by a young Mexican girl, a former outlaw sets himself up as sole arbiter of the law in a small town.
- Man in the Wilderness. Richard Harris, John Huston, Henry Wilcoxon. 13 votes. When an expedition of early 1800s fur trappers in the American Northwest encounters a bear while hunting, their scout, Zach (Richard Harris), is unfortunately mauled.
- Casino Royale. Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, David Niven. 19 votes. This wacky send-up of James Bond films stars David Niven as the iconic debonair spy, now retired and living a peaceful existence.

- The Maltese Falcon (1941) an extraordinary debut overshadowed only by another remarkable debut, that of Orson Welles and his film, Citizen Kane (1941), made it clear Huston was hugely gifted as a director.
- Key Largo (1947) The film brought him together with Bogart again, this time with a nasty Edward G. Robinson in a film that would win Clare Trevor an Oscar for supporting actress.
- The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) This film is a searing study of greed tinged with bitter irony, remains his greatest film, arguably the greatest film of the forties and one of American cinema’s finest, most ironic films.
- The Asphalt Jungle (1950) A heist film, a behind the scenes look at crime, one of the first films to be sympathetic to the criminals. A crew is brought together to pull off a robbery but a gun goes off by accident, spelling eventual doom for the group.
