Calling Humphrey Bogart iconic would be an understatement, because he really was one of the most legendary figures from Hollywood’s Golden Age. As an actor, his blend of charm, intensity, and cool as an actor continues to feel timeless, and helping this feeling is the fact that Bogart also happened to star in some of the best movies of all time. Many were good back in the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s, and remain compelling to watch to this day.
So it’s Bogart and some other charismatic figures taking on some Nazis, all with a breezy and surprisingly humorous tone, and extremely quick pacing for a film of its age. All Through the Night feels like it might’ve been intended to be wartime propaganda, to some extent, but it’s simple and satisfying and fun, featuring something of a gangsters vs. Nazis storyline that feels rather unique, not to mention entertaining.
7 'Key Largo' Director: John Huston One of several movies directed by John Huston that starred Humphrey Bogart, Key Largo depicts a tense hostage situation, a little like The Petrified Forest… only here, Bogart’s character isn’t the one doing the hostage-taking. Instead, the main antagonist is played by Edward G. Robinson, while Bogart’s character and some others – including a young woman played by Lauren Bacall – play the hostages.
Keeping the mystery alive while also having something of a tense love story at its core, In a Lonely Place certainly feels unique, and it ends up doing a great deal in just 94 minutes. It contains one of the best performances Bogart ever gave, and his co-star, Gloria Grahame, is also great, with both conveying feelings of suspicion, desire, and anxiety throughout a twisty plot that’s always barreling forward.
3 'The Big Sleep' Director: Howard Hawks The Big Sleep is even more of a trip than The Maltese Falcon, having a similar kind of labyrinthine structure and storytelling style that, by design, is very hard to get a handle on as a viewer. The case taken on by Philip Marlowe seems contained to a young woman needing to be followed, at first, but what starts as small balloons and becomes something inconceivably large and complicated as the film goes along.
2 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre' Director: John Huston A movie that was very successful at the Oscars for a Western, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is perhaps the best collaboration made between John Huston as director and Humphrey Bogart as actor. But it’s more than just a Western, given it also functions as a dark, character-focused drama/adventure movie, all revolving around a desperate search for gold in Mexico during the 1920s.
