Casablanca is the one that really comes to mind

When Rick comes over all pissed at Sam for playing As Time Goes By and Dooley Wilson just kind of cocks his head in Ingrid Bergman's direction like...Dude...look...

And he sees her...and that look on his face is a mixture of excitement...and joy...and love...and anger...

Bloody friggin' brilliant moment for Humphrey Bogart.

I was talking to my mom about the movie, and she was saying "I don't understand the big deal about Humphrey Bogart, he's really not good looking at all!"

I was trying to tell her that his acting was incredibly subtle and real compared to others of that era (in my admittedly limited experience). He was not a pretty boy, he was an actor.

But I am pretty sure we'll have the exact same argument again.

And this was the performance that made him a leading man. Up to this point, he played thugs (Petrified Forest) or toughs (High Sierra, Maltese Falcon). Absent Casablanca, there never would have been To Have and Have Not, Dark Passage or Key Largo.

I think the unlikeliest of his roles was as Linus Larrabee in Sabrina. How he pulled out that curmudgeonly-yet-charming persona is amazing, to me.

Valmont was released AFTER Dangerous Liasons and I felt no need to see "another version" of such an awesome movie.

Genesia - have you seen both versions? If so, which one did you see first?

Valmont came out only a few months after Dangerous Liaisons - so it isn't like it was a copy. They were in production at the same time.

And I saw Dangerous Liaisons first. I still like Valmont better. I think the performances are subtler and more finely drawn. IMeg Tilly is a much better Madame de Tourvel than Michelle Pfeiffer. And Henry Thomas was about a thousand times better than as Danceny than (ew) Keanu Reeves.

THAT'S the movie I was thinking about a month ago. I've only seen it once and it's been a few years but I never knew the name of it, seeing all the comparisons here brought it back to memory. I liked it and I wanna see it again. I wondered then if it was a remake of DL, now I know. I couldn't make a comparison it's been a while since seeing both but it would be and interesting project.

I am not sure if these are the BEST, but I was just reminded of them, and they were movies that I really enjoyed.

Before Sunrise/Before Sunset

I definitely would have fallen in love with her!
