Humphrey Bogart didn’t even reach the age of 60. He died of cancer. But before he left this world, he starred or co-starred in some really good movies. Whoever came up with the phrase “memorable entertainment” surely must have had plans to include Bogart movies in this category.
If you are ever in the mood for binge-watching old Bogie films below is my list. I started off the list with the movie where he won an Academy Award for Best Actor. But the second movie on the list is very likely the film that everybody remembers him for and they especially remember these 2 lines: ”Play it again, Sam.” and “Here’s looking at you, kid.” The 3rd movie on the list is for those who have a film noir addiction.

The Petrified Forest, Bogart's first big break, was released on this day in 1936. Bogie played Duke Mantee on Broadway, but Warner didn't want him for the film. He got the part because Broadway co-star Leslie Howard insisted. Bogart, forever grateful, named his daughter Leslie! pic.twitter.com/11dJ2mDgH6

#OnThisDay in 1948 The Treasure of Sierra Madre premieres.
Directed by John Houston, and Co-starred by his father, it’s the first film in history to yield father/son Oscar wins.

~ Humphrey Bogart married actress Lauren Bacall and they acted in a few movies together. If you’re interested in Bogie and Bacall flicks:

Sorry, but the African Queen is not a good movie. Humphrey Bogard should have won the Oscar before hence The Academy gave him the award late for The African Queen that is boring
Don’t apologize. I’m not in charge of the awards but I can think of a few of his other movies I would have given him an award for.
He is a legend and all of his movies are classics but The African Queen was the excuse for giving him the Oscar he deserved. I do not like “The African Queen”
I wasn’t that crazy about the movie either.
I did not realize he died at age 60. What a huge loss.
No. He didn’t reach 60. He was 58 I think.
I have not seen much of his work – that may be a movie day.
I watched his movies as a kid. He left quite an impression in me.
here’s looking at your post, kid!
epic, Casablanca remains one of the 20 greatest movies of all time!
It’s one of those movies that I don’t think they could do a remake. They could only TRY. But they will never be able to recreate that “mystique” of the film; especially that chemistry between Bogart and Bergman.
