- The Lineup (1958) The Lineup is not the only film of Siegel’s where his love for San Francisco is just seeping through the screen. In 1958, Siegel did the same as what Hitchcock did in Vertigo where he uses San Francisco as more than just a setting.
- The Killers (1964) Siegel outlines one of the themes that he will repeatedly come back to for the rest of his career in The Killers. There are no good guys, just bad guys and worse guys.
- The Big Steal (1949) Siegel dabbles into tropes of film noir in every single one of his 60s’ and 70s’ crime films, but The Big Steal is his best full blown noir.
- The Beguiled (1971) What a strange film this one is, but strange fits the film. The first Siegel/Eastwood collaboration to appear on this list, The Beguiled tells the story of a wounded Union soldier (played by Eastwood) who is sheltered by an all girls boarding school in Mississippi.
