Thanks for the head up! There's a few there I haven't watched. The Swimmer any good?
Here's a shot from The Killers (1946)

Atlantic City and Local Hero are prime elder Burt.
And The Professionals is so much fun.

What? No Scorpio? Atlantic City is brilliant.

The Swimmer is worth a watch, IMO.

When I was a kid, my first Burt Lancaster performance I saw was Field of Dreams. He might’ve been the most lovable older fellow ever in that movie that I’ve ever seen.

From Here To Eternity? It plays on TCM quite a bit. Maybe they just want to showcase his other movies

Some bangers.

The Swimmer is a very underrated movie. Somewhat like America Beauty, it exposes the dark underbelly of the idealic American suburban life. Lancaster is great as a man who's life has completely unravelled.

Yes, I like The Swimmer. My favorite movie listed here is The Train, Lancaster with an MP40. Excellent movie.

Scorpio may have been omitted due to Burt in blackface now that I think of it. He was a CIA field agent disguised as a black priest going through the airport:
