"The Two Mrs. Carrolls" Watched it on TCM. I knew Bogart had played bad guys in other movies, but this was the first one I actually saw all the way through. I love the second in the movie, when she realizes that he(Bogart's character) is trying to poison her.

Those are both great films. My five personal favorite Bogey films, in no particular order:
The Maltese Falcon (duh)
The Big Sleep (likewise duh)
Casablanca (nuff said)
The African Queen (maybe the best film he ever made)
We're No Angels (showed his gift for light comedy)
Boru
Damn it, I hate it when you agree with me. We are supposed to be "up vs down" " left vs right" "Ford vs Chevy".
In all seriousness, in my older age, I do find myself defaulting to older movies that rely on physical acting and facial expressions than graphics. Bogart hands down, was one of the best, if not, the best actor of all time.
Bogart's "Petrified Forest" was another one I like.
But as much as I love Key Largo, after two days ago, I have to say that "The Two Mrs Carrolls" is my favorite.
The best part of "Key Largo" was when Bogart's character had Rocky cornered on the boat with no way out.
