I didn't want to hijack the "Casablanca" thread.

I love his classics (Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, Treasure of the Sierra Madre etc.,) My favorite is a lesser known one :

All Through the Night (1942). Bogart & his gangster pals fight Nazis in NYC after he is falsely accused of murder. Peter Lorre and some other alumni from his earlier pictures co-starred.

What is yours?

A few decades back I was a fan of Bogart, but recently not so much.

The movie of his that I enjoyed the most was The Maltese Falcon.

Certainly the Big Sleep and Casablanca were good movies also.

Bogies is the best version of The Maltese Falcon. I picked up a set that had I think two other versions and his out did any out there. BTW, that Falcon is up for Auction thanks to TCM.
 
My favorites are the standards, Maltese Falcon and Casablanca. I like To Have and Have Not, but more for Walter Brennan and Lauren Bacall. The Big Sleep is good, but not as good as the original Raymond Chandler. I was lukewarm about Petrified Forest, which features a kind of odd stunted performance by Bogart. And I can't stand The African Queen, because I can't stand Katharine Hepburn. (Now Audrey, that's another matter.;))
 
I'm going to hijack this thread and mention Katharine Hepburn, in my opinion one of the great actresses of our time. She played opposite greats like Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Spencer Tracy (whom she dated off screen), Bogart, John Wayne and Sir Laurence Olivier. What a great walk down memory lane.
 
I've only seen two movies with Humphrey Bogart in them: The Caine Mutiny and The African Queen, but I liked them both.

As for James Cagney, he is indeed a great actor and dancer...we can't watch him though, because he is the spitting image of my wife's father (or vice versa) who died when she was 14. It makes her too sad. It's uncanny how much they look alike, but sound nothing alike.

Sorry for the loss. I actually met James Cagney in L.A. circa 1981? 82?

If you all can ever get to trying him on the screen again? Get any of those Warner Brothers Gangster Classic sets. They have at least 4 sets of 4-5 movies in each. I was a big fan of Cagneys when I first saw him in: The Fighting 69th, and became a much bigger fan after seeing many of his earlies.
 
I just watched "To have and have not" the other day. Pretty good flick.

As a PI, I love "The Maltese Falcon" and "The Big Sleep".:cool:

But the best, by far, is "Casablanca". If you look at the list of the greatest movies ever made it is usually in the top three.

Should be #1. It's my favorite movie of all time.:cool:

I really like To Have and To Have Not. It would be my favorite, but for The Big Sleep. Bogart and Bacall at their best.

I have to say that The Treasure of the Sierra Madres has the most realistic barroom fight in it, when Bogey and Tim Holt attempt to collect their wages. The only other barroom fight that holds a candle to it is in Lonely Are the Brave.
 
Bogey didn't make too many clunkers, but Casablanca and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre are the most outstanding in my opinion. I've watched both of them over a dozen times each. I just don't get tired of them. Seems I remember Nixon's favorite movie was TTSM.

It's often said that Bogey and Clark Gable were admired not only by women, but also most men. I can't think of any actors of today that I admire. Or even like.
