Which one.

Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder.

[RockySullivan]

I like Dark Passage too (though the persona and acting of Agnes Moorehead steals it), but I have to ask - why do you have this low opinion of Casablanca?

the more watch casablanca the less i like it. first off peter lorre dies right away and it's just so corny its like a musical. it's just so overrated cheesy. I much prefer the big sleep of the popular ones. but to each their own

I seem to remember watching "Woman In The Window" and enjoying it - until the ending.

[Mayerling]

another great list... Have to add Double Indemnity...he is just so great in it!!!

Also, not a movie, but there is a great episode of the old radio show Suspense , The Man Who Wanted to be Edward G. Robinson, where Robinson plays a man who goes to see Edward G Robinson films and wants to be him…won’t give anything away but it’s a good listen!! fun stuff

Steadmund Brand

I'd have a few others to add

A Slight Case of Murder
The Sea Wolf
The Red House
The Night Has A Thousand Eyes (possibly my favorite Robinson film)

That radio show reminds me of a guest star appearance on the Jack Benny television show by Peter Lorre, who (apparently) has either murdered or restrained Jack somehow and takes over doing a Benny monologue for the audience. It was a howl.

I didn't think I'd like Casablanca - who wants to see a film that's all about geometry? - but I enjoyed it. Here's looking at Euclid.

Good one Robert!

Fav bogart movies:

5. The big sleep
6. The big shot
7. Invisible stripes
8. Maltese falcon
9. Dead reckoning

Casablanca sucks

**** I forget my favorite one and by far the best bogart movie and best movie of the 40s Dark passage! I might have already done a bogart list a few pages back but oh well

Great list, but I have to disagree on Casablanca... infact I think it may be one of the best American films ever made.. .not just because it's popular... but because it is just that good

however my favorite Bogart film is The Harder They Fall...but as you all know.. I am a boxing guy

But most movies would be unsellable if they just stuck to the facts.

Very true GUT, very true.

[GUT]

Good one GUT. It's a good film, but (as is usually the case) overly romanticizes what happened. I've read a bit on the historical events, and while the films like to paint Rudolf as a liberal minded hope for the future of the Hapsburg Empire, the reality shows something of a selfish hedonist, who proved (ultimately) a terrible disappointment for Franz Josef.
