Not on this list are The War Lover, Soldier in the Rain, Tom Horn, Love With The Proper Stranger, The Hunter, Le Mans, The Reivers, and Nevada Smith. This guy didn't make bad films.
The Magnificent Seven was a very radical film for its time. The dialogue was innovative, funny and impressive. It was also the first time he was really noticed in the U.K.

@@unclecreepy4324Yes, but about Bullitt don t make me wrong , I really enjoy the movie , one of the best of McQueen.The car chase is nevertheless tremendous, I enjoy the Frisco of '67 , the mood of the movie, and the cars: Mustang, Charger and the lovely yellow Porsche....
With a troubled private life and a great passion for motor racing Steve McQueen(RIP) still managed to dilver over dozens of brilliant performance's in just 30 odd films which proves that King of Cool was a true professional,After the success of "Towering Inferno"Death is inevitable but at the peak of his career McQueen left the silver screen for 4/5 years which to me was very sad,An oscar and what else McQueen would have achieved in those missing Years is something we will never know..King of Cool a true Legend.
The first two are a bit light weight , they are very intertaining but still light weight Tom Horn is dark, heavy and I think reflects McQueen's real self at this time of his life and work.
My list 1. The great escape 2. Bullitt 3. The sand pebbles (must watch) 4. Papillon 5. Magnificent Seven 6. Love with a proper stranger ( give it a watch... It's an amazing movie) 7. The getaway 8. The Thomas crown affair 9. Towering inferno
He was at his most serious as Frank Bullitt. Only twice did Frank let the veil drop, when the nurse brought him a sandwich and when he met his girlfriend at her job and tried to help her with figures from a book. Frank Bullitt is probably the best fictional cop on film, next to Popeye Doyle and Harry Callahan.
@@thomasthomas2418 He was kind of abusive towards her in the movie and maybe in real life. The way he slapped her around in the movie was always upsetting to me and hard to watch, and I'm a guy.
junior bonner - one of the best neo westerns/rodeo movies ever. a true american movie made by sam peckinpah. great heartbreaking movie about the last run of a rodeo rider.
The Getaway is the Texas of my youth, the only flaw is Steve drinks a Coke in a bottle, a real Texan would be drinking a DP, but other than that, it is a trip down nostalgia lane every time.
One for the ages, to be sure! I read a comment in another post that says it was the best ever, even ahead of the one in The French Connection, and I can't argue with that.
So many great movies. This should have been the top 15. I put Bullitt first with The Great Escape second. It’s just a matter of personal taste. Sand Pebbles was also excellent but who wants to see the hero die?
It's absolutely McQueen's best film. He had to play a "China Sailor" from the 1920's, which he did perfectly. In the Great Escape, they let him wear the same clothes that he rode dirt bikes in on the weekend. Cool, movie, but The Sand Pebbles is his best, IMO!
All of your choices are great, but for me The Sand Pebbles should be Number one, The Magnificent Seven Number Two and Cincinnati Kid Three for their World-Wide Phenomenon. I can still remember as a child that I cried when Watching Steve's character Holman die at the end of The Sand Pebbles. He was also great in Junior Bonner (Directed also by Sam Peckinpah) which is the story of the Love and admiration of a son for his father. He was the Coolest Cat in the sixties.
I've always loved all his movies but one/. The Getaway. Not a big fan of Ali MacGraw. This list has it right with number 1 being The Great Escape. I knew it would that one or Bullitt.
You have a number of good actors top 10 movies on your channel. Looking forward to seeing top 10 lists for Denzel Washington & Sidney Poitier. Will be watching..
Loved Steve McQueen. Over 60 years ago. Psrt of my psst. My favorite movie is The Magnificent Seven. Gave him his statt. Also Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn. Saw at show. Also love soundtrack.
Had he lived long enough he would have eventually won an Oscar. I was and still am a McQueen fan. With one exception, I have all of the movies listed in this list. In my opinion, "The Sand Pebbles" is a grossly under appreciated movie by most people and one of many exceptionally acted in movies by Steve McQueen. I think his demeaner worked against him in the Hollywood community for Oscar recognition.
Steve McQueen is my favorite actor of all time the academy award people did not give him the deserved recondition that he deserved his personality stoped the academy people from liking him he was such a great actor definite should of won for the sand pebbles and pappion great in love with a proper stranger baby the rain must fall the great escape nevada smith he was just superb actor and appreciated enough period 6:57
No way …#1 Magnificent 7, #2 Bullet, #3 the Getaway, #4 The Thomas Crown affair, #5 pappilion, #6 Nevada Smith, #7 the Sand Pebbles, #8 Soldier in the Rain, #9 The Hunter #10 the great escape !
je suis brun, cheveux noirs même, mais j'ai toujours été en admiration de Steve Mac Queen, quand j'étais gamin, le jeudi à 16h30 c'était à la télé "au nom de la Loi", j'ai appelé mon 2° fils Steve, mon 1er fils a un prénom de la même origine
1. Papillon unquestionably (stunning performance). One of the greatest films of all time not just a McQueen film. 2. Thomas Crown Affair (He was never more cool.) Great Escape was great but he was not featured that much. Not #1. Maybe 7 No LeMans?
Remembering Steve McQueen born on March 24, 1930. He was an American actor. His antihero persona, emphasized during the height of the counterculture of the 1960's, made him a top box-office draw for his films of the late 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. He was nicknamed the "King of Cool" and used the alias Harvey Mushman in motor races. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_McQueen
Don't forget Love With the Proper Stranger and Baby The Rain Must Fall. My favs Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt and Magnificent Seven. Coolest cop ever. R.I.P. Steve ⚘️📺❤️⚘️
I have watched Steve my whole life and I have no idea what the Oscar means. In Papillon, he is magnificent. The scenes in solitary are obviously great, but he does great suttle things in that movie. The scene where he and Hoffman are waiting for a soft job after bribing guards, and the one guards family lost all in counterfeit bonds, . Kilo forty...both of them .. what is Kilo Forty??. And Steve leans over. Great .everybody whatcha that scene again
Diese TOP 10 von Steve McQueen wird aber ganz schön schnell durchgezogen. Ist aber doch sehr informativ, RIP Steve Mc Queen ... See you in heaven !!! 😢😢😢❤😊😊😊
I agree with @Lucky, Nevada Smith was a great movie. Taken from a character in “The Carpetbaggers” written by Harold Robins and played by Alan Ladd in the movie.
Steve McQueen started on TV in Wanted: Dead or Alive. The Sand Pebbles deserves a higher rank as it is his only Academy nomination. And Nevada Smith needs a mention
"The Great Escape is perhaps one of the best war epic war films of all time." Sorry, but it's not even close. It's a great flick, but it's not in the same class as Paths of Glory, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Stalag 17, The Longest Day, Enemy at the Gates, Glory, Go Tell the Spartans, etc... My top favorite McQueen movies are Papillon, The Sand Pebbles and The Getaway (not in any particular order). I also liked his last film The Hunter.
The top 3. "Bullett", "The Cincinnati Kid" and "The Thomas Crown Affair." Steve McQueen's best roles in San Francisco, New Orleans and Boston. (An honorable mention- he was really good in "The Towering Inferno", too, as the no-nonsense, battalion fire chief.)
McQueen ranks in the top 10 in all-time screen presence. However, he never really got very many great roles but what he did with the roles he got was amazing. His presence made many of his films very good but perhaps not a truly great one. His top 10 in no order: The Cincinnati Kid / Love With the Proper Stranger / The Towering Inferno / Bullitt / Soldier in the Rain / The Sand Pebbles / The St. Louis Bank Robbery / Baby the Rain Must Fall / Papillon / An Enemy of the People.
One other point is that the list of films he turned down could’ve made him a bigger star. Among the films he turned down was Apocalypse Now, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, First Blood and Sorcerer
my man McQueen he was also good at comedy love with the proper stranger with Natalie Wood as his co-star very touching picture highly recommend that everyone watch it with the one they love on a Saturday night on the couch eating butter popcorn have your handkerchiefs ready
If you haven't seen the movie The Hell With Heroes starring this icon actor then your missing his best acting ever. And that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
Not only was Steve the king of cool, his acting was at another level, he was a stunt man, a race car driver, a lover of life, a style icon - those crystal blue eyes were as intense as he was. A true legend. My top movie for Steve was Bullitt.
Here is a little funny tidbit about Steve’s deal for “The Blob”. They offered Steve $3000.00 OR 10% of the gross. Steve took the “3 grand. His take of the 10% would have been $40,000 ! Ha, live and learn I guess !
“Nevada Smith” should be on the list....
My first thought too
Exactly
Not on this list are The War Lover, Soldier in the Rain, Tom Horn, Love With The Proper Stranger, The Hunter, Le Mans, The Reivers, and Nevada Smith. This guy didn't make bad films.
I really liked soldier in the rain with Jackie Gleason. If you get a chance, watch it.
@@patbrennan6572 It is a hidden gem. Glad that you are among those that know about it.
Love With the Proper Stranger is a beautiful film. Le Mans is underrated. I hear Junior Bonner is a good one too.
Faltó Tom horn 1980
One of his best was He’ll is for Heroes
Sand Pebbles is my favorite film of his, but his best acting was in Papillon....
I am a fan of great Steve McQueen. RIP. What an Actor he was ...
やはりスティーブ・マックイーンと言えばThe Great Escape (大脱走)だろうね。
日本では衛星含めてTV放送で毎年3〜4回は以上は何処かしら放送してるだろう…👍
"Le Mans": Steve driving a Porsche 917 at 200+ mph.
Nuff said.
The sand pebbles is his best movie. A movie I can rewatch and see something new every time
Legend.
He had so many hit movies one after another.The King of Cool has never been replaced.The Camera liked him,and he liked the camera.
And we ladies loved him.
The Magnificent Seven was a very radical film for its time. The dialogue was innovative, funny and impressive. It was also the first time he was really noticed in the U.K.

7.The Cincinnati Kid

Not only The Magnificent Seven but also Nevada Smith and Tom Horn were great westerns featuring him.
Love Nevada Smith. Yes, Tom Horn is another good one.
Yep, that’s right.
I was surprised Tom Horn wasn’t on this list… or Nevada Smith.
They’re certainly in my dvd collection.
.....I agree!!....
The first two are a bit light weight , they are very intertaining but still light weight Tom Horn is dark, heavy and I think reflects McQueen's real self at this time of his life and work.

1. The great escape
2. Bullitt
3. The sand pebbles (must watch)
4. Papillon
5. Magnificent Seven
6. Love with a proper stranger ( give it a watch... It's an amazing movie)
7. The getaway
8. The Thomas crown affair
9. Towering inferno
#10. "Hell is for Heroes"
The Great Escape # 1 , I totally agree
Everyone loves that movie.
I really liked his performance in "Bullitt."
He was at his most serious as Frank Bullitt. Only twice did Frank let the veil drop, when the nurse brought him a sandwich and when he met his girlfriend at her job and tried to help her with figures from a book. Frank Bullitt is probably the best fictional cop on film, next to Popeye Doyle and Harry Callahan.
I think Mc Queen's greatest acting was on Papillon just in front of The sand pebbles
His role in The Sand Pebbles got him his only Oscar nomination, and I certainly agree with you about Papillon!
"Love With the Proper Stranger", made me want to be Steve McQueen. He was my role model.
For me, it was "The Getaway". Not only for the action but for Ali McGraw.
@@thomasthomas2418 He was kind of abusive towards her in the movie and maybe in real life. The way he slapped her around in the movie was always upsetting to me and hard to watch, and I'm a guy.
junior bonner - one of the best neo westerns/rodeo movies ever. a true american movie made by sam peckinpah. great heartbreaking movie about the last run of a rodeo rider.
Awe,..I love Junior Bonner!
Love with the Proper Stranger with Natalie Wood.
My number one is the getaway..Im sure the amount of times I've watched it can definitely shoot a gun.
I think that "The Getaway" is McQueen's best movie.
Definitely his best film in the 1970 s
The thought of another woman playing Carol, well best actress for sure.
My favorite, but not the
best"
The Getaway is the Texas of my youth, the only flaw is Steve drinks a Coke in a bottle, a real Texan would be drinking a DP, but other than that, it is a trip down nostalgia lane every time.
I didn't drink DP until I was an adult. Too acidic @ the time.
My favorites are:
1.- Bullit
2.- The Thomas Crown affair
3.- The Getaway
Taken way too soon, this man is a legend.
Cancer, brother. It's a disease that plays no favorites.
The Sand Peebles is amazing.
Been a fan since
Wanted dead or Alive
Grew up with him
(As a fan) saw all of his
Movies.
He was the"True Rebel
Withought a cause"
Yes! Josh Randall! I used ti watch that show every time it came on.
BULLIT #ONE… shared with his immensely popular co star THE MUSTANG ! Still never tire of watching that car chase!
Those stone cold killers were intimidating.
@@abjectt5440 - For sure!
One for the ages, to be sure! I read a comment in another post that says it was the best ever, even ahead of the one in The French Connection, and I can't argue with that.
1 of the best 👌 RIP😢
So many great movies. This should have been the top 15. I put Bullitt first with The Great Escape second. It’s just a matter of personal taste. Sand Pebbles was also excellent but who wants to see the hero die?
Third one being The Magnificent Seven.
The scene in where he shot his best friend to prevent his suffering any more torture in wrenched my gut out.
I love Junior Bonner and Tom Horn. Very underrated but awesome movies.
I think Bullitt and the magnificent seven should've been #1 and 2
I. liked him best in "Never So Few" with Frank Sinatra and Gina Lollabrigida. He stole the lead right out from under Sinatra. Great film.
'Nevada Smith' was also a very good revenge movie (It was based on a character in 'The Carpetbaggers')
"Hell is for Heroes"should also have been included for his acting skills.
I forgot about that one. Thanks for reminding me.
I agree
Not too many know about that film. His acting was superb. Should have had more recognition for much of his work.
A man’s man. Every guy wants to be him.
My top five.Bullitt, The Magnificent Seven, The Thomas Crown Affair , The Getaway and The Great Escape.
The only one I'll pass on is The Getaway. Not a fan of Ali MacGraw.
You'll get no argument from me.😊
The Sand Pebbles is by far McQueen's best movie and one of the best adventure films of all time.
It's absolutely McQueen's best film. He had to play a "China Sailor" from the 1920's, which he did perfectly. In the Great Escape, they let him wear the same clothes that he rode dirt bikes in on the weekend. Cool, movie, but The Sand Pebbles is his best, IMO!
Totally agree. I got to see it on the big screen during a Robert Wise retrospective. Great movie and McQueen's best performance.
A Wise comment.
@Bob McRae True, but the secret star of The San Pablo was Dick Crenna, who should have won an Oscar.
quite right. It is a magnificent film.
One of my favorite actors l loved him in Nevada Smith , The MafitegentSeven, The Great.The King of Cool RIP
He was am exceptional after. Enjoyed his movies.
The Getaway, Cincinnati Kid,Bullit.
All of your choices are great, but for me The Sand Pebbles should be Number one, The Magnificent Seven Number Two and Cincinnati Kid Three for their World-Wide Phenomenon. I can still remember as a child that I cried when Watching Steve's character Holman die at the end of The Sand Pebbles. He was also great in Junior Bonner (Directed also by Sam Peckinpah) which is the story of the Love and admiration of a son for his father. He was the Coolest Cat in the sixties.
I've always loved all his movies but one/. The Getaway. Not a big fan of Ali MacGraw.
This list has it right with number 1 being The Great Escape. I knew it would that one or Bullitt.
He deserved an Oscar for Pappion.
Totally agree!!!
Hear-Here!!
Papillon is best, Getaway is next.
My favorit actor!

My favorite is The Getaway. 2nd is The Thomas Crown Affair.
Yes, I agree with your list and remember watching The Great Escape when it first was released. Thank you so very much.
Always I remember the great escape I was 12 years old. Never forget that film
Great escape... ultimate action
Awesome video and I have seen most of Steve McQueen movies. Yes, I agree with you. One of my favorite is Great Escape and the other The Blob!

He was terrific. You're right about The Sand Pebbles. My favourite is Bullitt. That car chase was epic with those carburated engines growling.
He should have one one from several of his films, Papilon was his best role.
They finally recognized John Wayne, so undoubtedly, they would have come around to give McQueen his due as well.
@@thomast8539 John Wayne was a great actor; as Jim Garner observed, "Steve wasn't an actor." However, Cruel was very good in The San Pablo.
San Pebbles could easily be his Number One Movie. It was also exceptionally written.
Thank You very much ! Steve is a big Legend ! Stay in peace Steve !
You missed one of McQueen's largely over looked movies that is a truly great western Tom Horn.
Steve McQueen'The King of Cool Legend
McQueen was also fantastic in the movie, The Reivers, which is another really good movie. Actually, it's a must-see movie.
The Reivers was the first movie I saw at the cinema, a lot of my favourites on the list
I agree, "The Reivers" was an exceptional film that McQueen showed his very real acting skills in.
Great great actor ! 👍👍👍

Pretty tough job, rating Steve McQueen's top 10 films, but you've done a fine job of it.
11. Hell is for Heroes, May He R.I.P.
Nevada Smith and The Hunter for The Sand Pebbles and Thomas Crown Affair. The Blob at Number 10 is okay.
1. PAPILLON 🖤 2. THE TOWERING INFERNO 🖤 3. THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN 🖤
Don't forget Love With the Proper Stranger and Baby The Rain Must Fall. My favs Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt and Magnificent Seven. Coolest cop ever.
R.I.P. Steve ⚘️📺❤️⚘️
One thing that I noticed (which was brought to my attention by a young cinema buff), is that Steve never wears a belt in any of his films.
Besides his gunbelt, he wears one in The Getaway and Hunter.
In my opinion Papillion is McQueen best performance, followed by Bullitt.
He Should Got the Oscar for Papillion. May He R.I.P.
I have watched Steve my whole life and I have no idea what the Oscar means. In Papillon, he is magnificent. The scenes in solitary are obviously great, but he does great suttle things in that movie. The scene where he and Hoffman are waiting for a soft job after bribing guards, and the one guards family lost all in counterfeit bonds, . Kilo forty...both of them .. what is Kilo Forty??. And Steve leans over. Great .everybody whatcha that scene again
Also he gives my 2 nd fave performance in The Getaway. Understated .intelligent..and so watchable
Steve was my favorite actor. I miss him in movies any more. The new ones are crap!
has to be "Great EScape" I'll go no further
Diese TOP 10 von Steve McQueen wird aber ganz schön schnell durchgezogen. Ist aber doch sehr informativ, RIP Steve Mc Queen ... See you in heaven !!! 😢😢😢❤😊😊😊
Since Josh randall Steve McQueen is one my favorite actors. Dead too soon A real legend....
I agree with @Lucky, Nevada Smith was a great movie. Taken from a character in “The Carpetbaggers” written by Harold Robins and played by Alan Ladd in the movie.
Steve McQueen started on TV in Wanted: Dead or Alive. The Sand Pebbles deserves a higher rank as it is his only Academy nomination. And Nevada Smith needs a mention
The Sand Pebble's / The Great Escape / Hell Is For Hero's / The Magnificent Seven / Tom Horn & Papillon, Were My Favorite's Of His Movie's...
Nice selections. But … where is The Hunter ?
"The Great Escape is perhaps one of the best war epic war films of all time." Sorry, but it's not even close. It's a great flick, but it's not in the same class as Paths of Glory, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Stalag 17, The Longest Day, Enemy at the Gates, Glory, Go Tell the Spartans, etc... My top favorite McQueen movies are Papillon, The Sand Pebbles and The Getaway (not in any particular order). I also liked his last film The Hunter.
All time LEGEND!!!!!!
McQueen always manufactured a rivalry with a actor / character which propelled the narrative
The top 3. "Bullett", "The Cincinnati Kid" and "The Thomas Crown Affair." Steve McQueen's best roles in San Francisco, New Orleans and Boston. (An honorable mention- he was really good in "The Towering Inferno", too, as the no-nonsense, battalion fire chief.)
Soldier in the Rain with Jackie Gleason could have made the list. Just a great movie.
McQueen ranks in the top 10 in all-time screen presence. However, he never really got very many great roles but what he did with the roles he got was amazing. His presence made many of his films very good but perhaps not a truly great one. His top 10 in no order: The Cincinnati Kid / Love With the Proper Stranger / The Towering Inferno / Bullitt / Soldier in the Rain / The Sand Pebbles / The St. Louis Bank Robbery / Baby the Rain Must Fall / Papillon / An Enemy of the People.
One other point is that the list of films he turned down could’ve made him a bigger star. Among the films he turned down was Apocalypse Now, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, First Blood and Sorcerer
my man McQueen he was also good at comedy love with the proper stranger with Natalie Wood as his co-star very touching picture highly recommend that everyone watch it with the one they love on a Saturday night on the couch eating butter popcorn have your handkerchiefs ready
Punctuation is your friend.
need to add a few numbers to the Top 1x Greatest
If you haven't seen the movie The Hell With Heroes starring this icon actor then your missing his best acting ever. And that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
Not only was Steve the king of cool, his acting was at another level, he was a stunt man, a race car driver, a lover of life, a style icon - those crystal blue eyes were as intense as he was. A true legend. My top movie for Steve was Bullitt.
Here is a little funny tidbit about Steve’s deal for “The Blob”. They offered Steve $3000.00 OR 10% of the gross. Steve took the “3 grand. His take of the 10% would have been $40,000 ! Ha, live and learn I guess !
He was in a lot of ensemble films: Great Escape, Magnificent 7, Towering Inferno. I prefer the others: Thomas Crown, Cincinnati Kid, Bullitt.
Why did you change the Mexican peasants to “red Indians”? Otherwise, you included my favorites (Bullitt, and Escape)
