So many great Bogey movies, all but 1, I think, in B&W. Casablanca is my favorite movie of all time but beyond that it's hard to pick a favorite. I love "To Have and Have Not". An interesting thing about it is that IIRC it was done on kind of a dare. The director (I forget his name) said that he could make a good movie out of the most mediocre Hemingway book and that became the movie "To Have and Have Not". I would say that he definitely won the dare.

I am a huge fan of film noir, but I am going to try and limit my choices of those films to get a more rounded lineup."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

Fantastic pick with "Rebecca". It was pretty high on my list."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Casablanca over rated???? Any particular reason(s)?
I never really gave it much thought other than The Big Sleep is easily my favorite.

Gregg with 2 great picks. The original King Kong, while seeming a bit hokey nowadays, is a a monumental film.
Abbott and Costello Meet frankenstein is a rip roaring good time!"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
