My Best Performance: Humphrey Bogart

[Spinal]

I give you an actor.

You tell me which movie contains their best performance. You get one vote.

Discussion might happen.

After a day or so, the votes are counted. I announce the winning performance.

We then move on to somebody else.

Previous decisions:
Robert De Niro - Raging Bull
Kate Winslet - Heavenly Creatures
Toshiro Mifune - Throne of Blood
Meryl Streep - Adaptation
Michael Keaton - Beetlejuice
Penelope Cruz - Volver
Charlie Chaplin - The Gold Rush
Julianne Moore - Safe
Forest Whitaker - Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
Ingrid Bergman - Notorious

What's my best performance?

[chrisnu]

In a Lonely Place

[MadMan]

In a Lonely PlaceThis is the correct answer.

[Winston*]

His performance in The Treasure of The Sierra Madre sticks out more in my mind than In a Lonely Place so I'll go with that.

[Qrazy]

I guess I'll also go with Treasure of the Sierra Madre although I hope some people go with Casablanca because although it's famous it's still great.

[Dead & Messed Up]

I could easily go with Casablanca, In a Lonely Place, or Treasure.

I'll go with Casablanca.

[Ezee E]

Casablanca. I should actually rewatch this. It's been probably over ten years.

[Raiders]

In a Lonely Place, duh.

[Skitch]

Casablanca. Most obvious choice, sure, but too great a film to skip.

[Dukefrukem]

Yup Casablanca

[dreamdead]

So easily In a Lonely Place. He's got at least three excellent options, but this one was revelatory for me.

[MadMan]

Now I know how number8 felt like in the Charlie Chaplin thread. Only I've got more support than he did.

[Yxklyx]

Beat the Devil - no contest.

[Mysterious Dude]

Treasure of the Sierra Madre

[Spinal]

Treasure of the Sierra Madre

[ledfloyd]

In a Lonely Place just for that one scene. You know the scene.

[Pop Trash]

Treasure of the Sierra Madre...though I'd be fine with In a Lonely Place winning.

[Ezee E]

All three of these are due for a rewatch actually.

[EyesWideOpen]

treasure of the Sierra madre

[DavidSeven]

Interesting. Thought this would be a blowout for In a Lonely Place.

In a Lonely Place.

[Boner M]

In a Lonely Place fo sho.

(I remember nothing of Treasure tho)

[Kurosawa Fan]

In a Lonely Place

[Grouchy]

He has many excellent ones - amongst those not even mentioned so far, The Caine Mutiny and Sahara.

But my answer is In a Lonely Place.

[ContinentalOp]

He surprised me with his vulnerability in The African Queen.

[Spinal]

Match Cut says my best performance is ...

IN A LONELY PLACE

[Yxklyx]

Going to have to rewatch In a Lonely Place - remember him more from Sahara and Sierra Madre. I love Beat the Devil though and I love his portrayal of Bogart in that one.
