I've always been a fan of Where the Sidewalk Ends, with Dana Andrews as a cop with anger issues who isn't afraid to rough up someone. When he accidentally goes too far he chooses to do a cover-up and...

The first movie from my list has made it, This Gun for Hire. Alan Ladd is great as the killer and Veronica Lake is, as always, killer in her own way. I had it at #20.
