Now that we are transitioning from superheroes to mainstream movies. A  shout-out to one of my favorite actors of all time.

Love this scene. Shows he is a good guy. I can relate.

Good interview with Bogart.

Other fans post. Very welcomed.

Dark Passage is definitely my favorite of the Bogey and Bacall flicks. The tensions are definitely rife especially when he is hiding out in her apartment. Of course the iconic "escape" intro is also unmatched.

For his solo endeavors I definitely loved In A Lonely Place and the African Queen. One thing I've always noticed is that Bogart always had female co-stars that matched his acting style and I've never quite seen that again (at least in succession), with Gloria Grahame matching him with wit and Katherine Hepburn matching him in independence in each of those films.

 

As a co-star I could probably say the Roaring Twenties as being his best. Him and Cagney really let the scenes simmer with their characters' tension.

African Queen was another good one !!

Casablanca is my all time favorite film.

The first time you see Bogart, he's having a drink and a smoke while deep in thought during a chess game . . . with himself. Right there, is everything you need to know about that character.

Brilliant.

The Maltese Falcon and The Treasure of The Sierra Madre are two of my favorites.

My son is a huge Bogart fan too.

He bought a 1951 Chevy Styleline and added a personalized license plate which reads BOGART.

Excellent idea for a thread.

Casablanca is my favorite film. Something that I watch a few times a year.

Same.  I had to watch Casablanca for a english class in high school.  I thought it would be awful and I've watched at least once a year since then.  It's a really good film.

I now have the urge to watch Casablanca. Haven't seen it in a while.

My favorite movie all time. Just something about it.

They got Casablanca in 4k now. It's even better when we watched it .

Ugarte:  You despise me!  Don't you, Rick?

Rick:  I probably would if I gave you a thought!

Such great dialogue in the film. No wonder it won the Oscar for Best Screenplay.
