- Double Indemnity (1941) Widely considered one of the best film noirs ever made, “Double Indemnity” is often cited as the film that set the standards for the genre, with director and co-writer Billy Wilder working around the Production Code to create one of the most cold-hearted onscreen crimes of the era.
- The Apartment (1960) In a career rooted in playing the good guy, it is remarkable that MacMurray’s best roles are men with questionable character, and it’s almost criminal that he received no nomination for his performance in this Best Picture winner.
- The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) MacMurray received his only major acting nomination (a Golden Globe) for his portrayal of Professor Ned Brainard, who accidentally invents “Flubber” (flying rubber), which becomes more powerful each time it strikes a hard surface.
- The Caine Mutiny (1954) When the mentally unstable Captain Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) shows signs of paranoia and cowardice aboard the USS Caine, possibly endangering the lives of the men aboard, Lt Maryk (Van Johnson) takes over, leading to a charge of mutiny.
