It's maybe the perfect gateway movie to black and white and for those not generally inclined to watch the oldies.
I think so too. If you can get somebody to watch Casablanca and like it you can usually get them to watch or two other Bogart movies and then from there it grows. Next thing you know you're a classic movie fan.

If you liked Casablanca, then check out "African Queen" with Bogart and Hepburn as the 2 main characters and getting most of the screen time.

Casablanca is in my top 5 films (#2) along with The Godfather, Chinatown, On the Waterfront, and The Wizard of Oz

How is the Maltese Falcon?
Posted on 3/17/25 at 4:01 pm to CBandits82
I think almost as highly of The African Queen and The Maltese Falcon as I do of Casablanca
Posted on 3/17/25 at 4:55 pm to CBandits82
Maltese Falcon definitely in my top 15

How is the Maltese Falcon?
as much as i love Casblanca, if given the choice i would watch Maltese Falcon 9 times out of 10
as an aside, its remarkable how much one man can change his physical appearance in a year’s time:
Peter Lorre, June/July 1941 (Maltese Falcon)
Peter Lorre, June/July 1942

I waited way too long to watch it like most in this thread so I watched it when they closed the great movie ride in Disney world and it blew me away

Don't forget The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, it is a top 10 all time for me. Bogart made some of the best movies in film history and a bunch more that were really good, ie In a Lonely Place, To have and have not, The Caine Mutiny, etc., etc.

If Casablanca is a 5.00*, the MF is 4.99*
Bogart was only 57 when he died. Think of the great movies, in color, we missed out on. As mentioned Sierra Madre is great also.

What other suggestions do ya'll have for oldies that I need to watch.? I watched both Casablanca and Lawrence for the first time last year and would love to check out more classics. I added all the ones already mentioned in the thread to my list.

Bogart films are all good.

Have you ever been stung by a bee?

Bogart, Walk around me Slim.

Oldies are subjective I suppose but counting over 50 years old then how about
Early Kubrick including Strangelove
Old Newman including the hustler and cool hand Luke
Early Eastwood with Leone
Early Brando including Streetcar and Waterfront
A couple John Wayne movies including True Grit
Some Steve McQueen including Bullitt

quote:Another good WWII movie that was also made in 1942 is Mrs. Miniver.
Crazy this was made while the actual war was going on.
quote:
Mrs. Miniver is a 1942 American romantic war drama film directed by William Wyler, and starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. Inspired by the 1940 novel Mrs. Miniver by Jan Struther,[3] it shows how the life of an unassuming British housewife in rural England is affected by World War II. Produced and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, its supporting cast includes Teresa Wright, May Whitty, Reginald Owen, Henry Travers, Richard Ney and Henry Wilcoxon. ...

Plot
Kay Miniver lives a comfortable life in Belham, a fictional village outside London. Her devoted husband, Clem, is an architect. They have three children: the youngsters, Toby and Judy, and an older son, Vin, a student at Oxford University.
As World War II looms, Vin returns from university and meets Carol Beldon, granddaughter of Lady Beldon from nearby Beldon Hall. Despite initial disagreements, they fall in love. As the war comes closer to home, Vin enlists in the Royal Air Force, qualifying as a fighter pilot. He is posted to a base near his parents' home and can signal his safe return from operations to his parents by "blipping" his engine briefly as he flies over the house. Vin proposes to Carol in front of his family at home. ...

It's on MAX
Some of the movies mentioned are on the TCM part of MAX.

Anything with Bogart.
Others actors at that time with good movies, there or about.
Spencer Tracy- Judgment at Nuremberg
Gregory Peck- of course, To Kill a Mockingbird & one I like The Paradine Case
Brando
Montgomery Clift-The Misfits with Marilyn Monroe
Clark Gable-Also the Misfits & Mogambo
William Powell-My Man Godfrey (one of my favs) & The Thin Man
There are so many great classic movies.

John Ford's cavalry trilogy
Paths of Glory

The Ten Commandments*
*I assume everyone has seen it on Easter at some point. But, if not, the DeMille-ian grand spectacle is a must see.

One of my favorite things to do is watch Casablanca at the Alabama Theater here in Bham. It’s an amazing feel to an already amazing movie. Off the charts if y’all ever have the opportunity.
OP, the Maltese Falcon has to be next. I recommend watching it twice back to back. A lot of the dialog is fast and you’ll miss some things you’ll catch on the rewatch.

I have never seen Casablanca. Not a huge fan of oldies. Not sure why.
I need to sit and watch this movie one day.
No, you don't. I hate oldies too but an ex convinced me to watch it with her one night and let's just say if I had one choice: sit through that movie again or stick my balls in a lawnmower, these nuts are taking that zero turn blade like a boss.

Posted on 3/18/25 at 8:27 am to travelgamer
