Went & saw The African Queen last night.

Damn that was a good movie. Never saw it before.
Only flaw was no sex scene. Needed one after they'd been in the boat for only five minutes.

Are we talking about Bogart here, some shitty remake, or something that has nothing to do with Bogy's "The African Queen?"

Top 5 all time film. I like it better than Casablanca. It's Bogey's best movie.

Really? I'll have tp rewatch it then. Been a while since I've seen it.

I enjoy it.

well with how rife the 1950s were with sex scenes and nudity, i understand your complaint.

I saw Both for the first time this past year, and while I enjoy African Queen, Casablanca blew me away.
It was definitely a classic I had heard about but didn’t expect to live up to the hype.

African Queen is great, but Casablanca is probably the closest thing, in my opinion, to being the most perfect movie ever made.

I would argue the greatest "date" movie ever made.
Great movie, however the ending was a little weak that not even Huston was ever satisfied with.
Pretty much the whole cast and crew except for Huston and Bogart, who survived on a diet of gin, got infected with dysentery.

A little game I like to play is to find the flaw in Casablanca.
The only thing I was ever was able to come up with is the seemingly disconnect between how the character of Captain Louis Renault is written and how he is portrayed, through no fault of Claude Raines of course.
I always found it a little strange that Renault simply comes off as a lovable corrupt cop, glossing over the fact that he was a world class scumbag that would use his position to take sexual avantage of women, indeed wives, that were desperate for letters of transit to escape Casablanca.
But in the end we all love Louie and the beginning of his beautiful friendship.
Not five minutes go by where someone on this planet is not quoting Casablanca, yet other than "rosebud", I am usually hard pressed to come up with two other memorable quotes from Citizen Kane.

Great movie, and I for one am glad there were no sex scenes between Bogart and Hepburn.
The very thought of that little skinny bag of bones doing a nude scene is enough to make a grown man go "uuuugggghhhhh".

To this day, the leech scene freaks me out.

Of course, it was over half a century before folks "woke" up.
My favorite lines:
YVONNE Where were you last night?
RICK That's so long ago, I don't remember.
YVONNE Will I see you tonight?
RICK (matter-of-factly) I never make plans that far ahead.
If you want to watch a Bogart movie with great dialogue and a bit more witty repartee, check out "The Maltese Falcon".

Can't argue with that.

Have you ever seen beat the devil? Written by capote, it’s a neat sequel to Maltese Falcon.

We had it on VHS in the 80s or some bootleg (it had a label maker sticker on the cassette tape)...so watched it a lot as a kid.
Great movie but that Leech scene is seared in my memory like the opening of Jaws.

Seeing that scene on tv is one of the earliest memories that I have. Probably wasn't more than 3 or 4 at the time. It definitely sticks with you.
