Great list. A few I haven't seen haven't seen.

"The Long Good Friday" I think is one of the best gangster films ever made.

I didn't see "Alfie" or "Billy Bud"

Billy Budd is a 1962 film produced, directed, and co-written by Peter Ustinov.[1] Adapted from the stage play version of Herman Melville's short novel Billy Budd, it starred Terence Stamp as Billy Budd, Robert Ryan as John Claggart, and Ustinov as Captain Vere. Stamp was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and received a Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Male Newcomer. The film was nominated for four BAFTAs.
