film actors today are ropey I feel. about my all time favourite actor is humphrey bogart the lead actor in films like casablanca the treasure of the sierra madre the maltese falcon the african queen ect ect . have you seen any bogart films what do you think of him do you have a favourite film mine is either treasure of sierra madre or casablanca I think casablanca or the african queen are his to best performances
I've never seen Casablanca, though feel I should really at some point. I have, however, seen the Simpsons lost alternative ending to it, with Hitler jumping out of the piano....
I never really got into the whole brat pack thing.. Cassablanca is excellent though, but I don't think Bogart is a patch on Peter O'Toole for films like Lawrence of Arabia (obviously), The Ruling Class (a MUST see! Hilarious and deeply sad), Murphys War (always loved that film!) It's true though, your original point, not may greats about today are there?
There are a few film stars around who are I think in that Hollywood tradition, those you really respect and admire (and fancy) and would go to see a film just because they're in it. Some that come to mind are Scarlett Johansson, Jude Law, Kirsten Dunst, Jake Gyllenhaal. They've all been in some really quality films as well as being huge names. Haven't seen "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" yet but it's on my list of things to watch I believe it was remade as "Trespass" in 1992 with Ice Cube

LOL ! Haven't heard that in years! Oh yeah! Jude law was brilliant in Gattaca, not really hollywood... but I'm into Sci-Fi so there!

I love Mr Bogart!! I have 3 of his movies 1) The african queen (1951) - Pretty much first VHS release (1979 - Magnetic Video) 2) The Maltese falcon (1941) - Pretty much first VHS release (1981 - Magnetic Video) 3) Casablanca (1942) - Pretty much first VHS release (1981 - Magnetic Video) I think it would have been awesome to meet him and be his friend and all
I liked... Dirk by the way.. Dirk bogarde.... Sir Derek Jules Gaspard Ulric Niven van den Bogaerde, known professionally as Dirk Bogarde, Better variety of films... by far!
Ah Casablanca - where Conscience (eventually) becomes Conviction. = "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"
I cant believe most of that movie was done IN A STUDIO!! (It looks like it was done ON LOCATION IN CASABLANCA)
