James Coburn top ten

 1) The Magnificent Seven (1960) - a guide for actors how to do a lot with very little screen time, big impact
2) The Americanisation of Emily (1964) - terrific movie, Coburn excellent as James Garner's sidekick
3) The Presidents Analyst (1967) - when Coburn became a star with In Like Flint he tried to make some "commercial" films that no one remembered and floped (Waterhole 3, Duffy, Hard Contact) but also a chance on this, which flopped but has a deserved cult
4) The Great Escape (1963) - yes it would've been better had an Aussie played this role but Coburn gets the spirit of playing an Aussie and he's great fun (and he's one of the few to escape!)
5) Pat Garrett and Billy the Kit (1973) - way out, flawed, consistently interesting Western which Coburn always adored perhaps influenced by that scene where he gets to be in bed with three hookers
6) The Last of Sheila (1973) - his part isn't that big but this is peak 70s Coburn
7) Our Man Flint (1966) - oh, look, I know, but the film defies criticism in a way...
8) Major Dundee (1965) - another memorable Coburn sidekick (I'd group it with High Wind in Jamaica)
9) Charade (1964) - from Coburn's hot streak of early 60s support parts
10) Fistful of Dynamite (1971) - look, Coburn's not Clint Eastwood but I really like the movie
