<I>The Apartment</I> is easily my favorite Wilder; one of my top favorite films, period. I'll watch it whenever it's on.
I just saw one that's a bit of a rarity, <I>Ace in the Hole</I>, which is about the media culture, basically. It's pretty good, with an unyielding performance from Kirk Douglas, but I feel like the criticism in it isn't quite on the mark. Great film though, without a doubt.

I'll go Sunset Boulevard. Truly one of the great directors, haven't seen a film even approaching bad.

Double Indemnity for me. Truly the definitive film noir. A close second though is Some Like It Hot.

Wow! Sorry, I couldn't pass this thread up.
1. "Some Like It Hot"
It would be impossible for me to rank all of the ones I've seen but a few gems that immediately come to mind are "The Major and the Minor", "Double Indemnity", "Sunset Blvd.", "The Apartment", and "The Fortune Cookie".
