African Queen is my fave bogey film. I really like Bogey and while he has done better, in terms of overall faves Casablanca is there...
 
Treasure is absolutely superb as well.

Casablanca is one of the very very few near perfect movies (which doesn't make it the best, imperfection has its own charms), just one line out of place.
 
No, I can't stand Romantic films at the best of times but a 40's black and white one, get de fuck.
 
the explanation of why gold costs so much is possibly the best explanation of the marxist concept of 'value' in film
 
Barbarian. I bet you've never seen AMOLD either.

I've watched different bits of it at different times, but I don't think I've ever seen the whole thing in one go.

I've gladly sat throught all of Gone With The Wind more than one though...
 
Seen it a load of times and have a copy here on WMV format so I can watch it any time I like on the laptop.

I will play it Sam.
:)
 
Seen it LOADS of times :cool: & am seeing it again on Valentine's night (The local community film society is showing it on Valentine's Day .) :cool:
 
If have seen it many times. I wish I had it on DVD so that I could play it again.

Yes I know he doesn't really say that.
 
and what's wrong with The Big Sleep? His finest film, and possibly the greatest ever made

Great film - I was lucky enough to see a screening in a proper old art deco cinema (Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds) one afternoon. Sheer magic - especially the scene between Bogey and Laren Bacall in the back of the car.

Also must mention "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" as one of Bogey's finest moments :)

I'd have to double check, but he might say that much at one point.

The actual misquoted line (iyswim) is "you played, it for her, you can play it for me. Play it!"

But I think he might just say play it again at some other point in the film completely (as a command, rather than a drunken request)
 
aint it just? Anyone who can watch that and not want to jump up and join in is either dead in the soul or a fascist.
I've always thought it was a bit of a silly scene but after seeing the Sorrow And The Pity it's difficult to see it as anything other than a lump of cloying mythologising muck.
 
I saw it a few Christmases ago.

It was alright - fairly uninspiring considering it's meant to be one of the all-time greats, and not half as good as Withnail & I. ;)
 
I've simply never seen it. Not avoided it - just that I've never known it to be on telly when I'm watching. Never been on at a re-run cinema, etc. So I've never had the choice of seeing it even if I wanted to.

People seem shocked when I say I've not seen it, but that genre just seems so out of date anyway. Sort of thing my parents might rave over. And I am not yuf either.
