John Marcellus Huston (/ ˈ h juː s t ən / ⓘ HEW-stən; August 5, 1906 – August 28, 1987) was an American film director, screenwriter and actor. He wrote the screenplays for most of the 37 feature films he directed, many of which are today considered classics.
- 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.
