Also, I am completely wrong about the soundtrack of Get Carter - Monkman did The Long Good Friday, I think. The score for Get Carter is excellent - a lot of double bass - but IMDB doesn't say who wrote it.
I really liked Get Carter. And Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is an old favourite [because of my two maternal uncles, I grew up on a steady diet of war movies, westerns, kung fu movies, and spy movies]. I was quite old [17 or so] when I found out that Hollywood made romances too! Legally blonde has its moments too.
It's the conjunction of the actors and the book for me. Weirdly enough, I came to the book first, and didn't see the film for years afterwards. I always saw Marlowe as taller and slower, as Robert Mitchum, I think, and Bogart just redefined the character for me instantly.
Ooooh....Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid! I love that movie...and the bicycle scene always shows me up for the hopeless romantic that I am. But don't tell anyone, 'k?
She really was beautiful. William Goldman's recollections of her on set (in "Adventures in the Screen Trade", go buy it) are that she was just as beautiful in the flesh, too.

And "Diva" is excellent. Actually, for the first time ever, I feel better educated than you!
And there is a great bit in "Subway" where he has to find the right music before he enter the chase... Neat.
