Howard Hawks Top Ten

 1) Scarface (1932) - terrific gangster flick even today

2) Red River (1948) - terrific Western even today (I'll stop saying that)

3) His Girl Friday (1940) - terrific etc

4) El Dorado (1967) - I like it better than Rio Bravo

5) Only Angels Have Wings (1939) - guys and gal bein' tough and Hawksian

6) To Have and Have Not (1944) - watch a couple fall in love

7) The Big Sleep (1946) - entertainingly confusing

8) Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) - make more musicals Howard

9) The Thing (1951) - of course it's his film

10) Ball of Fire (1941) - good Stanwyck

No I didn't forget Rio Bravo or Bringing Up Baby I'm not really a fan of either.
