The American Film Institute named him the number one screen legend of all time, and I think they're absolutely right about that. Bogie is a guy that I just ADORE; he's not incredibly handsome but every time I watch one of his movies, his charm and charisma always speaks out, which is why I think he is *so* attractive. As for his acting ability.....well, he may be a great screen legend but as an actor he's really underrated. IMO he has given so many overlooked performances, from the cynical on the outside, but sentimental on the inside hero (Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, etc.) to the frighteningly villainous bad guy (Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Petrified Forest), the range is definitely there and he can play different types of people (see In a Lonely Place, The African Queen, The Caine Mutiny, The Big Sleep and the films mentioned above, etc. etc. etc.). He also has the sexiest way of talking, very smooth and fast but it never gets annoying, it makes him seem cool. Overall, what do you guys think of him? If you like him, cool. If you don't like him, it's cool too but just keep in mind that this is my favorite/best movie star, legend and actor of all time, my biggest idol as an actor. :cool:
