Author Comments:
I like Huston's visual style, although I'm sometimes a little less enamored with his subjects. Here's how Huston's films rate.
I've rated the films from a zero (horrible!) to four (wonderful!) star scale, with the links going to my reviews. As usual, I've only included films I've seen.
Aw, why'd you have to go and rank "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" so low? ash_campbell, man, you're breaking my heart.
Good call on "The Maltese Falcon" though. What a great movie. Also good call on not liking "Prizzi's Honor."
I almost set a stop watch to see how fast the comments on Sierra Madre would come in. For whatever reason, it just hits me the wrong way. Intellectually, I understand why people love it, but emotionally it strikes me as pretty cold.
