I go back and forth between The Long Goodbye and The Big Sleep. Both utter classics.
Full disclosure: I actually consider Chandler the weakest of the Big 3 of hardboiled crime (behind Ross MacDonald and Dashiell Hammett), though I think no one could turn a better single phrase than he could.

I watched The Big Sleep not long ago. Maybe I'll give it a go.

It really is. His knack for dialogue is so much fun.
