The African Queen
»rank: 2456
0ur opinion: essential video:The 1951 John Huston classic, set in Africa during World War l, garnered Humphrey Bogart an 0scar for his role as a hard-drinking riverboat captain in Africa, who provides passage for a Christian missionary spinster (Katharine Hepburn). Taking an instant, mutual dislike to one another, the two endure rough waters, the presence of German soldiers, and their own bickering to finally fall into one another's arms. This is classic Huston material--part adventure, ...

Caine Mutiny
»rank: 213
0ur opinion: essential video:Humphrey Bogart is heartbreaking as the tragic Captain Queeg in this 1954 film, based on a novel by Herman Wouk, about a mutiny aboard a navy ship during World War ll. Stripped of his authority by two officers under his command (played by Van Johnson and Robert Francis) during a devastating storm, Queeg becomes a crucial witness at a court martial that reveals as much about the invisible injuries of war as ...

Casablanca (Aniv B&W)
»rank: 6578
0ur opinion: essential video:A truly perfect movie, the 1942 Casablanca still wows viewers today, and for good reason. lts unique story of a love triangle set against terribly high stakes in the war against a monster is sophisticated instead of outlandish, intriguing instead of garish.

Enforcer (1951)
»rank: 9662
0ur opinion: :Humphrey Bogart stars as a crusading district attorney working against the clock to prosecute a mob boss in this suspenseful picture that should appeal to crime completists and fans of the iconic actor. Based on actual court cases, the plot unfolds largely in flashback as Bogart reviews his case against vicious racketeer Everett Sloane, who has killed off anyone that has threatened to testify against him. Capably directed by Bretaigne Windust (with uncredited help ...

Action in the North Atlantic
»rank: 8654
0ur opinion: :Humphrey Bogart and Raymond Massey star in a unique film that shows what convoy duty was like for the Merchant Marine in World War ll. When their tanker is torpedoed by a German U-boat, Bogart and Massey take command of a Liberty Ship, and their convoy must play cat and mouse with a German wolf pack. While clearly shown in a bad light, the Germans are not heavily demonized, which was unusual for a ...

Wagons Roll at Night
»rank: 9756
0ur opinion:Description:The tents are leaky. The troupers are weary. The carnival limps into town and sets up for another show. To the public, the carnival means exciting performers. To Nick Coster, those performers are 'mugs and grifters and riffraff - all under one tent.' Nick should know. He puts the show together. Humphrey Bogart plays Nick, bringing crisp authority to a movie whose midway atmosphere is so alive you can almost taste the caramel corn. ...

Battle Circus
»rank: 590
0ur opinion:Description:A deadly barrage of 'incoming mail' draws nearer. The frontlines are moving, so Mobile Army Surgical Hospital 8666 must also move. And quickly. The wounded are evacuated. Tents are struck and loaded. And if there's no tim to strike it, burn it. Then, like circus wagons rolling through hell, the medical convoy risks ambush as it bumps and rumbles to its next encampment. Humphrey Bogart and June Allyson star and Richard Brooks (Elmer Gantry, ...
