Both worthy noir classics, but I have a personal preference for The Asphalt Jungle.

Winslow Leach · 03-12-2022, 08:22 PM

A tie for sure! Both are stone-cold classics.

The Killing

The Asphalt Jungle, and I say that as a big Kubrick fan. The Killing is his first great movie, but from Paths of Glory he was making masterpieces.

the asphalt jungle, I really think in terms of construction and direction deserves to be in the all time top 10. I loved the killing last time I saw it but the asphalt jungle is on a whole different level. Just the acting from Sam Jaffe is a thing to behold, but the atmosphere in a pure unadulterated film noir form, is a delight for people who like cinema. I was enjoying my viewing like a little kid eating a box of chocolates, its an incredible film, and has aged like a Bordeaux wine

This one was too tough so I called it a tie.

You can't go wrong with either, but its the Killing for me.

The Asphalt Jungle. One of Huston's best films. Plus Marilyn Monroe.

Having said that – of the two films, I've actually seen The Killing more times.
