William Holden - 50 Highest Rated Movies 

I just noticed looking at this that Don Taylor, who directed Holden in Damien: The Omen 2, was in several movies with him, as was Nancy Olson.

The world of Suzie Wong and Bridge over the River Kwai, are just great 👍.

I'm a big fan of William Holden. Wow, three movies with a rating score above 9.0! I thought that Bridge on the River Kwai would be number 1, but it's not that far behind Sunset Blvd. I have seen 37 movies included in this video plus two films that were not: The Earthling which was Holden's final filmed movie but released before SOB, plus Father Is a Bachelor. The lowest rated film I have seen is Force of Arms. TCM recently had a William Holden Star of the Month when he would have turned 100. That helped my total. My favourite movies are Bridge on the River Kwai, Sunset Blvd., Stalag 17, Sabrina, Born Yesterday, The Towering Inferno, Picnic, Executive Suite, Our Town, Invisible Stripes, The Devil's Brigade, Golden Boy, Escape From Fort Bravo, Love is a Many Splendored Thing , Texas, Alvarez Kelly, and The Man From Colorado. I admire both Network and The Wild Bunch more than I enjoy them. There are some crime films on my to-see list. Favourite posters and stills are from The Bridge on the River Kwai, Sunset Blvd, Stalag 17, The Wild Bunch, Sabrina,, Picnic, Wild Rovers, Our Town, Invisible Stripes, The Devil's Brigade, The World of Suzie Wong, Escape From Fort Bravo, Golden Boy, Love is a Many Splendored Thing, Texas, The Horse Soldiers, The 7th Dawn, Paris When It Sizzles, The Dark Past, The Man From Colorado, Alvarez Kelly, Forever Female, The Key, I Wanted Wings and the final portrait.

Holden was teriffic in all of his movies but one of his best was "Boots Malone" Great script ,superb cast and he was excellent.Preposterous that it wasn't in the top ten .

best films - in no particular order ' the World of Suzie Wong", "Stalag 17", Sunset Boulevard", "the Wild Bunch'.

bill eres unico un actor inigualable te amare por siempre

A fine star.

An updated page on one of Bob and Flora's favorites. My question is when is the next update?....Over at UMR...we have 66 Holden movies ranked.....you gotta go the Full Monty...lol. Overall I have seen 21 of the 50 movies shown. Favorites include the entire Top 5. Two of those Top 5 are some of my dad's all-time favorite movies...#2 Bridge at River Kwai (not first?....shocking) and #4 Stalog 17. #30 Paris When It Sizzles is a fun movie....but gets crushed by critics. Good video. Voted up....and shared on our Holden page. Plus sharing it on some Holden Facebook pages that have been nice to our page. Good stuff.

Fairly Accurate....some great films WH made...I would have had ‘Love Is A Many Splendour Thing’ higher and Swop Places Stalag 17 with Wild Bunch...

Estamos aqui de novo 😊🙋👍🙏🙏

Parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho e com certeza William holden está entre os melhores atores de todos os tempos que filmografia linda só grandes filmes inesquecíveis época de ouro da sétima arte parabéns obrigado

Paris when it sizzles with Audrey Hepburn great movie switch on the switch on the switch

No mention of one of his last films, the little remembered movie, the Earthling, which I personally thought showed him as why he was such a great versatile actor.

Gran actor William Holden, con una filmografía muy importante. Interpretó grandes películas de Billy Wilder. Sunset Boulevard 1950. Stalag 17 1953. Sabrina 1954. También grandes dramas. Love is a Many-Splendored Thing 1955. Henry King. Picnic 1956 Joshua Logan. The World of Suzie Wong 1960 Richard Quine. Entre otras muchas también la espectacular película con un gran reparto The Towering Inferno 1974 John Guillermin. Una interesante película dirigida por el gran Clint Easwood Breezy 1973. Gran drama de Sidney Lumet Network 1976. También grandes western. Escape from Fort Bravo 1953. John Sturges. The Horse Soldiers 1959 John Ford gran película con el gran John Wayne. Alvarez Kelly 1966 Edward Dmytryk. Otro interesante western con el gran Richard Widmark. Finalmente quería comentar mis dos películas favoritas. The Bridge on the River Kwai 1957 David Lean. Gran obra maestra de este gran director con unas grandes interpretaciones de William Holden y Alec Guinness. The Wild Bunch 1969. Gran western del gran director Sam Peckinpah . Con una impresionante actuación de William Holden y también del gran actor Ernest Borgnine, de esta mítica película. Creo que William Holden ha sido uno de los grandes actores norteamericanos del mejor cine clásico.

One of my favorite Actor and his best movie The Omen

Thanks. What about Boots Malone? It is one of his best.

es unico bill holden unico yo lo amo

Bridge on the River Kwai leaves me cold.....Pretty to look at but that's about it. Some laughable scenes such as the Japanese commander bawling like a baby and our soldiers whistling a happy tune while going to work. Plus it's way too long. i slip into zzzz' s whenever I watch it on TV which is seldom. Sorry, I know everyone fawns over it. For a good war film give me Sam Fuller's The Steel Helmet any day of the week.In October 1950, Fuller made his film in ten days with twenty-five extras who were UCLA students and a plywood tank, in a studio using mist, and exteriors shot in Griffith Park[4] for $104,000. But it all works! Man, what a film . .It is much more taut, suspenseful and nerve racking than Kwai.

The Earthling 9.95

Who is William Holden?

I Like William Holden Movies I Have On DVD In Alphabetical Order Alvarez Kelly Breezy The Bridge On The River Kwai The Horse Soldiers Network Paris When It Sizzles Sabrina Sunset Boulevard The Towering Inferno The Wild Bunch

Holden was about 10 years too old for Picnic. Proud and the Profane was a From Here to Eternity ripoff.Golden Boy was stupid, even if it did put him over.Man From Colorado was good. Breezy, just plumb stupid.Streets of Laredo was a remake of The Texas Rangers.Texas was good, but silly in spots. 7th Dawn-ridiculous.Alec Guiness stole in the show in Bridge on the River Kwai. Stalag 17 was his best.

THE REVENGERS and CUSTER OF THE WEST (Robert Shaw) are possibly the two worst westerns ever made. The REVENGERS because of its cop-out ridiculous ending, and CUSTER because of its complete lack of any realism.
