whiskey straight. probably bourbon.
 
"We're No Angels"

Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray

...saw it when I was a kid...still remember it. Okay, maybe not an Academy Award winner, but fun.
 
Another vote for 'Treasure of Sierra Madre' and 'The Caine Mutiny' with great performance's turned in by Jose Ferrer and Fred MacMurray in Caine Mutiny.
 
Well, after "Casablanca", being his most famous film and "The Big Sleep" being one of the greatest Film Noir movies ever made, (he plays the ultimate Phillip Marlowe)............"The Maltese Falcon" and
"To Have and Have Not" are all TOP films from *Bogie* which I really enjoy...............

But one of my favorite Bogart films which no-one has mentioned yet is "Dark Passage" from 1947 which features Lauren Bacall in a sensitive and daring role, risking all for love and Agnes Moorehead as the Queen of Bitches. The plot is a bit twisted and the movie doesn't work for everyone, but I enjoy the film to see the sexual tension/romance between him and Bacall, which is every bit real on the screen as off.......this movie was kinda like the end of a long Honeymoon on screen for them both, so it was really affectionate and loveable despite the desperate situation they are up against playing the characters in the film.

And another film that I find entertaining from him is 1953's "Battle Circus" which does come off *corny* at times and I think that the paring up of him with June Allyson is a little weak, BUT the movie was/is the prototype basis for the 1970 smash hit film "*M*A*S*H*". :D

Thanks for the thread Dave, I had no idea Bogart was a noun/person, I was only familiar with it's use as a verb.
 
Sorry, but The Maltese Falcon is #1. Casablanca, The African Queen, The Big Sleep, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre are in a four-way tie for #2. To Have and Have Not is in the running, too!

Maltese Falcon and Casablanca also have Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet -- both huge plusses, in my book.
 
I have a sweet spot for the maltese falcon, not only for Bogart, but for Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet that are so good supporting Bogart.

+1 on We're no Angels...
It's a funny movie and shows another side of Mr. Bogart...
 
1# Key Largo love this movie. Lionel Barrymore is just great, Edward G. Robinson performance as Johnny Rocco is superb and of course Lauren Bacall's a great beauty and actress. Always preferred her to Marilyn

Dark Passage is an interesting movie about 30% of the movie are shot from Boggie's character POV. Desperate Hours 1955 is no slouch either Bogart as an escaped convict that terrorises a familiy.
 
I have no better suggestions than those already made by others. But reading this thread reminded me of one the reasons why I like this forum so much. Photos? Cameras? Lenses? Sure, but also a bunch of friendly folks ready to share their thoughts and opinions on a wide range of other topics and interests. The end result is a nice, friendly place to hang out.

A follow-up to the Maltese Falcon with much of the same cast, including Mary Astor & Sidney Greenstreet as the "heavy." Bogie plays a pre-James Bond secret agent out to expose a Japanese espionage ring on the eve of Pearl Harbor.
Has humor & romance in addition to thrills, just like the Bond films.
Directed by John Huston.
