That's a sizeable list. I can barely read it without getting dizzy.
I can only imagine this is for some kind of research project. No one else would have a reason to embark on such an undertaking.
Anyway, I commend you.
I'd like to contribute some titles but the thing about "made later" is throwing me way off.
"Force of Evil
" (1948) –I feel this should count
"The Phenix City Story
" (1955) –ditto
"Kansas City Confidential"
(1952) –maybe not
"High Sierra"
(1941) –yes, it's by Burnett
"Johnny Eager"
(1941) yes, count it
"Side Street"
(1949) yes, count it
"The Asphalt Jungle"
(1950) - yes count it in
"Murder, Inc."
(1960) yes
"The Killers"
(1946, Burt Lancaster)
"Violent Saturday"
"The Enforcer"
(Bogart)
Not sure these fit:
"Key Largo"
(Bogart)
"White Heat"
"The Big Combo"
"Thieves' Highway"
"Angels with Dirty Faces"
…not just '
Thieves Like Us'
(Robert Altman) but whatever the Farley Granger version was called… do you have that as well …
(possibly) "
The Night They Raided Minsky's"
dir by Friedkin
p.s. aha! Where is "
Scarface
" (1932)? Am I just not seeing it?
If it is not listed then yes that would certainly be the biggest omission
p.s. more Eddie G. titles?
Where are:
"Little Caesar",
"Black Tuesday",
"Brother Orchid",
"Our Vines Have Tender Grapes"?

Elliott Gould
James Caan
Michael Caine
Some of the best period photography ever
"
Lucky Lady
"
Liza Minelli
Burt Reynolds
Gene Hackman
Rum running
Very well done aerial dogfights.
The crew from this film went on to make something called 'Star Wars'
