(ORIGINAL) 10 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • February 6 - 12, 2022 BEST STEVE MCQUEEN MOVIES "The Blob" (1958) It can be argued that the gelatinous title monster is more the star here, but McQueen got top movie billing for the first time in this cult classic. "The Magnificent Seven" (1960) Still on television's "Wanted: Dead or Alive" when this was released, McQueen put his Western experience to good use in this iconic Americanization of Japan's "Seven Samurai." "The Great Escape" (1963) Jumping a motorcycle over a barbed-wire fence is one of the most famous images of McQueen, and this is the popular war drama it came from. "The Cincinnati Kid" (1965) An intense poker match between an ambitious upstart (McQueen) and a master of the game (Edward G. Robinson) fuels this fine drama. "Nevada Smith" (1966) The earlier years of the "Carpetbaggers" character, as played here by McQueen, are detailed in this Western. "The Sand Pebbles" (1966) McQueen scored his sole Oscar nomination as a U.S. sailor who becomes involved in the Chinese Revolution. "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1968) McQueen's bid for a more sophisticated image paid off in this classic crime caper, boasting a memorable chess game between Boston's rich but larcenous Crown and the insurance investigator very closely on his trail (Faye Dunaway). "Bullitt" (1968) If McQueen hadn't already been legendary for earlier films, this one would have done it for him. One of the truly iconic police thrillers, the drama casts him as a self-styled San Francisco police detective ... and involves him in one of the greatest car chases ever filmed (as will be seen again Monday, Feb. 7, on Turner Classic Movies). "The Reivers" (1969) McQueen tried something different with this adaptation of a William Faulkner story about a youngster's (Mitch Vogel) coming of age during a road trip with a folksy handyman (McQueen). "Le Mans" (1971) McQueen addressed his passion for auto racing with this drama, which hangs an admittedly thin story on plenty of footage of the legendary French competition. "The Getaway" (1972) Teaming with Ali MacGraw – and not just on the screen – in this Sam Peckinpah-directed drama, McQueen plays an ex-con who doesn't waste much time getting back to robbery, encountering a series of double-crossings as he and his wife (MacGraw) flee with the bank loot. "Papillon" (1973) Incarcerated on Devil's Island, Henri "Papillon" Charriere (McQueen) plots his escape in this compelling true story that also stars Dustin Hoffman as a fellow convict. "The Towering Inferno" (1974) McQueen met the disaster genre in producer Irwin Allen spectacle that returned the actor to San Francisco, as a fire chief leading the charge against a blaze in the world's tallest skyscraper. "An Enemy of the People" (1978) Taking one of the most daring chances of his career, McQueen is notable in this adaptation of the Ibsen play about a doctor who fights others over an impending health crisis in his town. "The Hunter" (1980) McQueen's final film, based on experiences of true-life bounty hunter Ralph Thorson, offered lots of the star's wry humor amid the action sequences.
