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.

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.
