He made a lot a good ones  :thumbup:. One of his least known that I like is JEOPARDY (1953) (http://imdb.com/title/tt0045932/).

Saw part of THE SATAN BUG on Encore or FLIX a couple years ago and would like to see the whole thing. Others that I would like to view are ESCAPE FROM FORT BRAVO, A GIRL NAMED TAMIKO, and HOUR OF THE GUN.

Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape are a couple of my all time favorites from my childhood. McQueen was the man! You could never get that many big stars in a film together now.

I've always loved big Ernest Borgnine getting his ass handed to him by the one armed Spencer Tracy in Bad Day at Black Rock.

THE MAGNIFICIENT SEVEN is in my top 3 all time films. Will watch it any time it comes on no matter what part of the film its at.
