Whirlpool
Fallen Angel
Laura
Where The Sidewalk Ends
Anatomy of a Murder
His noir films are fantastic although I've thrown Anatomy of a Murder into my five purely because it's a hell of a film. I never really think of it as a 'Preminger' as much as I do the others though. -

"Laura" and "Anatomy Of A Murder" are tied for his best film.
All his comedies are weak though,and "Skidoo" is a train wreck of major proportions.No wonder his estate will not allow the film to be released on home video.

frankly i thought anatomy of a murder was overratedi mean its an all right enough of a filmbut jimmy stewert performance asideits really nothing you havn't already seen before. of course i guess this was one of the first really big courtroom movies in that sense it was important.

Laura is terrific. One of my favorite films not just by Otto Preminger, but by any director. I really liked Where the Sidewalk Ends as well, because it was another chance to see Gene Tierney in a Preminger filmI liked Whirlpool, but not to the extent of the other two.
Anatomy of a Murder is great because of James Stewart.
I think after those, my next favorite is Bunny Lake is Missing. At times it feels very different than most of his movies, but it's still fantastic.

My own favorites: 'Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon', 'Where the Sidewalk Ends', 'The Thirteenth Letter', and 'Advise & Consent'. In each, Preminger's direction magnified great script, cast, photography, with a human flavor unique to Preminger.
Of course there's another great film: 'Laura'; but while the others are so underated, 'Laura' sounded a chord in the great public's psyche. Our perception can make it seem not comparable to the others.
Meanwhile, I'm more reticent praising 'Man with a Golden Arm', 'Bonjour Tristesse', 'The Cardinal', 'Porgy and Bess'; have yet to see 'St Joan', 'Court-martial of B M', 'In Harm's Way'; need to see again 'Anatomy'. -

I've seen 8 Premingers. Love all of them.
I probably like Laura the least. A fine noir by any standards but somewhat stagey
