What are some good films about a bunch of distinct personalities clamoring to reach a valuable object? Bonus points if the star is a hard boiled private eye.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

The Pink Panther - the first one isn't very good but I've heard A Shot in the Dark is much better

I keep thinking of heist films :/

Check out The Million Ryo Pot. It's the earliest of three extant films of Sadao Yamanaka starring Denjiro Okochi as a battle-scarred samurai. Okochi is a proto-Mifune, playing tough characters with commanding screen presence.

You can guess the valuable object in this film is the million ryo pot. Ryo is a gold coin.

I just remembered there's a maneki neko (cat figurine) that gets flipped backwards and stays that way for a while. I'm wondering if anyone can explain the significance of doing that? I suppose I should go back to see what happens in the plot before the cat is moved.
