In order of merit:
1.I'm All Right, Jack! (1959) ***1/2
2.Brighton Rock (1947) ***1/2
3.Private's Progress (1956) ***1/2
4.Seven Days to Noon (1950) ***1/2
5.Heavens Above! (1963) ***
From the rest of the films John directed (his twin brother Roy directed several others) I'd be interested in watching THE MAGIC BOX (1951) and LUCKY JIM (1957).
