Humphrey Bogart is one of the world’s most famous actors. Bogart appeared in over 80 films, was nominated for 3 Best Actor Oscars (winning one). Bogart wasn’t your typical leading man. He wasn’t particularly tall (5’8″), or muscular and he didn’t have classical good looks. Yet, the ladies loved him and he was considered a man’s man. On screen Bogart held your attention. Although he was just 57 when he died, Bogart left us with many great films. Here are my five favorites…<\/p>\n
1. Casablanca <\/em>(1942): Many consider Casablanca<\/em> to be not only Bogart’s best film, but the best film of all time. It is a classic. I never tire of watching Casablanca<\/em> and had this been the only film on his resume, it would have still made him famous.<\/p>\n 2. Key Largo <\/em>(1948): has grown on me over the years. I’ve always loved it, but Key Largo<\/em> gets better with each new viewing. Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G. Robinson and Lionel Barrymore round out the cast.<\/p>\n 3. The Maltese Falcon <\/em>(1941): Bogart plays PI, Sam Spade. The film is based on Dashiell Hammett’s classic novel, with a screenplay and direction by John Huston (his first time directing). The Maltese Falcon<\/em> features an all-star cast; joining Bogart are Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Ward Bond and Elisha Cook, Jr. <\/p>\n 4. The Big Sleep <\/em>(1946): Bogart plays PI, Phillip Marlowe. Howard Hawks directs this classic that also stars Lauren Bacall and Martha Vickers. Dorothy Malone has a small role, but what an impact she makes! <\/p>\n 5. To Have and Have Not<\/em> (1944): Howard Hawks again directs Bogart and Bacall who are joined by Walter Brennan in an adaptation of Ernest Hemmingway’s classic novel. <\/p>\n Bogart made several other films that almost made my top five: In a Lonely Place, The Caine Mutiny, The African Queen, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre<\/em> and The Harder They Fall<\/em> are also all excellent films. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Humphrey Bogart is one of the world’s most famous actors.
