1) The Dawn Patrol (1938) - Errol Flynn is top billed but really its Niven's film
2) The Way Ahead (1944) - Niven typifies British officers of the war - well meaning, enthusiastic, slightly insecure
3) Bachelor Mother (1939) - maybe Niven is miscast but it's a great comedy
4) Appointment with Venus (1950) - there's something about his performance in this movie which really nails that British officer type, once more
5) Separate Tables (1958) - Niven is a bit actor-y but it is a good performance
6) The Pink Panther (1964) - its often forgotten Niven played the title role - it's great fun, with ski fields, Peter Sellers and European beauties
7) The Elusive Pimpernel (1950) - regarded as a flop but I really like it
8) Death on the Nile (1978) - Niven is a sidekick but its great fun
9) A Matter of Life and Death (1946) - probably his best work
10) Around the World in 80 Days (1956) -I guess so!
Oh I love Guns of Navarone but Niven is really miscast.
