info_outline⭐Samuel Fuller’s 10 Grittiest Films Ranked⭐
🍿This ranked video surveys the raw, uncompromising cinema of director Samuel Fuller, a former teen crime reporter and WWII combat veteran whose films fuse grit with social critique. Topping the list is Pickup on South Street (1953), a Cold War noir where pickpocket Richard Widmark lifts microfilm and collides with both Feds and Communist agents; Jean Peters and Oscar-nominated Thelma Ritter sharpen the ensemble. The countdown also highlights The Big Red One (1980), Fuller’s personal WWII saga later restored with roughly 45 minutes of footage; Shock Corridor (1963), a psychiatric-ward murder probe steeped in commentary on racism and hysteria; and The Steel Helmet (1951), an early Korean War picture marked by moral ambiguity. Visual bravura surfaces in House of Bamboo (1955), a CinemaScope gangster tale in Tokyo, while The Crimson Kimono (1959) threads an L.A. murder mystery through interracial romance. Genre boundaries bend in Run of the Arrow (1957), a revisionist Western notable for Sioux language and early blood squibs, and controversy trails White Dog (1982).🍿
