My Victor Mature Top Ten

1) I Wake up Screaming - a very good murder mystery
2) My Darling Clementine - a genuine classic with Mature very good
3)  Kiss of Death - possibly Mature's best performance
4) Violent Saturday - more of an ensemble piece than a Mature vehicle, this is a decent thriller
5) Demetrius and the Gladiators - enjoyable Ancient World pulp, much more fun than The Robe
6) Chief Crazy Horse - Mature surprisingly effective in the title role
7) Samson and Delilah - Cecil B de Mille spectacle, a lot of crap and good moments
8) Zarak Khan - fun British Empire pulp, the best of Mature's Warwick films
9) Cry of the City - more effective noir from Mature
10) Moss Rose - this film lost a bomb but I found it an enjoyable period noir from Mature's best era (the late 40s)

Special points to One Million BC for it's sheer oddness.
