Hey, I just read they finished principle photography on Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. I didn't even know they had a script, much less that they were filming it. Cool.

I've given up trying to have one movie as my favorite, there are just to many. It's like trying to decide on a favorite book. Instead, I ask most folks "if you coul watch any movie ever made tonight what would you like to watch?" For me, tonight it would be "The Keep." It's still close enough to Halloween to be a night for chills and the supernatural and that TangerineDream sountrack, the images, the historical setting, the whole vision - that's what I'm in the modd for tonight.

Of course, I would want it to be on DVD so I may have to wait for a bit longer . . .

Greydog, are you a Bogart fan? You should get Key Largo...it has both Bogart and Edward G Robinson.

I also have Dead Reckoning, To Have & Have Not, and the Big Sleep.

As for my cheesy movie favorite, it's Lost Boys. Terrible script, bad acting...great movie!

Hold your breath Matusalem, :lol:

I do not care much for Key Largo. I like Bogart but, that movie is not one of my favorites. I thought Robinson, while an excellent actor, played the character without enough evil (and he WAS evil). I like Bogart best as a heavy or private dick, with Sahara being an exception to that preference.

Thought he was great with Cagney in "Angels with Dirty Faces".

The three of them Bogart, Robinson & Cagney virtually defined the movie gangster and brought a charisma to the screen seldom seen today.

Hold your breath Matusalem, 

I do not care much for Key Largo

Greydog, I would have to agree with you.

Although, that movie is on my living room shelf, I don't watch it much.

Some of the lines in 'To Have & Have Not' were good "You know how to whistle, Steve....just put your lips together and blow". Dead Reckoning as a bit of a feel-good Bogart movie but not a strong contender. I shall taske your advice. Maltese Falcon & Casablanca I have the DVD.

Here are some I can think of off the top of my head -

I always liked the Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood movies, A Fistful Of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, as well as some of the Eastwood movies that came after.

For newer movies, I really enjoyed the Lord Of the Rings trilogy. In my opinion they could have even made it even longer, or in more parts, in order to include a lot of the stuff they left out. I've read the books at least 3 or 4 times since I was young and the movies followed them pretty well.

I also liked the Blade movies... martial arts and vampires, always a good combination !
