2.Casablanca [1942] starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt

VHS : Casablanca [1942]
This used to be my favourite. I went to see it at a cinema in the 70s, when it was distinctly arthouse. Times change, though. Now the racism grates too much. When it was made I'm sure it was meant to be radical. Rick saying he does not sell human beings when offered a price for Sam might have been cutting edge in '42. Not now.

It does not matter how captivating Ms Bergman is, I cannot see past her using that American racist insult, 'boy'.

Sam, of course, does not even have two dimensions to his character.

VHS : The Maltese Falcon [1941]
At least for two reasons, "The Maltese Falcon" is a milestone in the evolution of American genre cinema. First, this is one of the very first pictures that ushered the era of classic film noir. Its bizarre characterizations, twisty plot and cliché-drenched events serve as a perfect template that has been utilized in countless films through six decades after its making. Second, this is the movie that catapulted Humphrey Bogart's career into stardom. He had been a strong supporting character, mostly playing villains (as in "High Sierra" & "The Petrified Forest"). After his performance as hard-boiled private eye Sam Spade, he became a major star.

The movie represents a complex study of human psyche, especially taking a dismal look at human ... Read More:

VHS : To Have & Have Not/Dark Passage [1945]
This was billed as "Hemingway's To Have and Have Not," but if there is one thing it isn't, it isn't Hemingway's novel. It is a fine quasi-remake of Casablanca (1942) with Humphrey Bogart playing essentially the same kind of character he played in Casablanca, a worldly wise, cynical America ex-pat who doesn't want to get involved in politics as the storm clouds of World War II gather. Instead of a saloon in Casablanca Bogie has a fishing boat in Martinique. Instead of Ingrid Bergman he has Lauren Bacall. Instead of Claude Rains as perfect of police, he has Dan Seymour as Capt. Renard working for the Germans. Instead of Dooley Wilson to play the piano and sing, he has Hoagy Carmichael. Instead of Peter Lorre as a sniveling lowlife, he has Walter Brennan as an alcoholic ...

VHS : High Sierra/Treasure of Sierra M.. [1941]
The story of an American in Mexico who is down on his luck. He eventually teams up with some other Americans in the same boat to go prospecting. Then the trouble starts - Indians, Bandits, Federales and each other.

The old man reminded me of my dad. But I didn't take any stars off for that.

VHS : Audrey Hepburn Collection - Special Edition Box Set [1953]
I was given this last Christmas and enjoyed it immensely - not only was it great over the dragging holiday period where the dang shops are shut and there is nothing of any worth on TV - but during the year I came back to this collection of some of Audrey Hepburn's best films (maybe excluding Paris When It Sizzles) and found that there is a film in this box for every mood. Roman Holiday for when you are feeling in love (but alone), Breakfast At Tiffany's for when you have a sinfully big box of chocolates you just must get through, Funny Face for when you want a smile to extend from cheek to cheek, Sabrina Fair for one of those happily retrospective nostalgia days, and Paris When it Sizzles for when it's raining and dull outside and you need a little reminder of what life's really ...
