Casablanca (1942)
Considered by many to be the greatest Hollywood movie ever made, this WW2 classic takes place in war-torn Casablanca and tells the tale of mysterious nightclub owner Bogart and his old Flame (Bergman), her husband, underground leader (Heinreid), and other skeletons from his past. Won 3 Oscars – Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay.
Director: Michael Curtiz, Stars: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains
“Rightly one of the most popular – if not the most popular – films of all time.” Film4
“Irresistible, big-hearted film-making.” Guardian UK
“A brilliant film that merits inclusion in every self-respecting film critic's top three.” BBC
“One of those rare films where every shot and every quotable line of dialogue counts, there's not a dead patch in Casablanca.” Total Film

The Big Sleep (1946)
L.A. private eye Phillip Marlowe takes on a blackmail case…and a trail peopled with murderers, porographers, nightclub rogues, the spoiled rich and more. Humphrey Boart plays Raymond Chandlers' legendary gumshoe and director Howard Hawkes serves up snappy character encounters (particularly involving Lauren Bacall), brisk pace and atmosphere galore in the certified classic.
Director: Howard Hawks, Stars: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, John Ridgely, Martha Vickers.
“One of the finest mainstream noir-thrillers ever made.” Time Out
“The direction, cinematography, screenplay, brooding score and acting in this movie are all without fault. If you see one film noir movie in your life, make it this one.” Film4
“No screen couple, before or since, had as much chemistry as Bogart and Bacall…It's un­missable, irresistible.” Guardian, UK

Key Largo (1948)
A hurricane swells outside, but it's nothing compared to the storm within the hotel at Key Largo. There, sadistic mobster Johnny Rocco (Edward G. Robinson) holes up – and holds at gunpoint hotel owner Nora Temple (Lauren Bacall), her invalid father-in-law (Lionel Barrymore) and ex-GI Frank McCloud (Humphrey Bogart).
Director: John Huston, Stars: Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, Lauren Bacall, Lionel Barrymore
“Perfectlty tense atmosphere and performances, with the sparks flying between Bogart and Bacall.” Empire Magazine
“Adapted from a stage play, this is an exercise in claustrophobic tension that is far superior to an overrated film like Hitchcock's "Rope” for example…With a hurricane brewing and day turning to night, the tension builds to a nerve-shredding conclusion." BBC

The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Sam Spade is caught in a frantic search for the jeweled falcon of Malta and his partner's killer. His pursuit leads him to a group of desperate individuals who also want the bird.
Director: John Huston, Stars: Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Gladys George, Peter Lorre
“..among the most important and influential movies to emerge from the Hollywood system – as significant in some ways as its contemporary, Citizen Kane.” ReelViews, James Berardinelli
“If ‘The Maltese Falcon’ doesn't qualify as the best private-eye yarn ever filmed, I don't know what does.” Movie Metropolis
“This is one of the best examples of actionful and suspenseful melodramatic story telling in cinematic form.” Variety

To Have And Have Not (1944)
Help the Free French? Not world-weary gunrunner Harry Morgan (Humphrey Bogart). But he changes his mind when a sultry siren-in-distress named Marie asks, Anybody got a match? That red-hot match is Bogart and 19-year-old first-time film actress Lauren Bacall. Full of intrigue and racy banter (including Bacall's legendary whistling instructions), this thriller excites further interest for what it has and has not. Cannily directed by Howard Hawks and smartly written by William Faulkner and Jules Furthman, it doesn't have much similarity to the Ernest Hemingway novel that inspired it. And it strongly resembles Casablanca: French resistance fighters, a piano-playing bluesman (Hoagy Carmichael) and a Martinique bar much like Rick's Cafe Americaine. But first and foremost, it showcases Bogart and Bacall, carrying on with a passion that smolders from the tips of their cigarettes clear through to their souls.
Director: Howard Hawks, Stars: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Walter Brennan, Hoagy Carmichael
“The plot's a plugger and the characters are sketchy, but the spoken words are the music to which Bogart and Bacall fall in love, onscreen and off.” Onion AV Club
“..an intriguing, romantic..pre­dictable, but entertaining motion picture. It's also one that holds up surprisingly well over time, as most of Bogart's films do. It won no major awards, but it has won the hearts of plenty of filmgoers over the years.” Movie Metropolis
“The scenes between Bogart and Bacall are so dazzlingly about attraction and sex that they encapsulate the whole magic of movies.” Hollywood Reporter

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
Wrapped in a classic tale of adventure this Academy Award winner helmed by John Huston follows a trio of gold prospectors who set out to strike it rich and agree to split the take until paranoia and greed consumes one of them. Delivering superb performances as the three miners are Humphrey Bogart Tim Holt and Walter Huston who copped a Best Supporting Actor Oscar while son John scored statuettes for his direction and screenplay.
Director: John Huston, Stars: Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, Tim Holt, Barton MacLane
“This is so brilliant that the only real effect of the other versions is to make you want to watch the original again.” Empire Magazine
“…so good that writing about it is embarrassing.” Film Freak Central
“Transcends the medium to become a mandatory viewing experience for anyone that identifies themselves as a human being, period.” Slant Magazine
