My Robert Aldrich Top Ten

1) The Dirty Dozen (1967) - one of the greatest guys on a mission films
2) Kiss Me Deadly (1955) - nihilistic film noir at its best
3) Vera Cruz (1954) - great adventure film
4) Too Late the Hero (1970) - flawed but enjoyable tough actioner
5) Four for Texas (1963) - not beloved by cultists but I've always loved this
6) Twilight's Last Gleaming (1977) - some terrible moments but lots of fantastic ones too
7) Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) - gothic horror with fantastic performances
8) Ulzana's Raid (1972) - bleak, full on Western
9) The Big Knife (1955) - sweaty, intense Odets melodrama, very interesting
10) Apache (1954) - expert sympathetic Indian tale
