The Treasure of the Sierra Madre: Keep
The African Queen: Cut
Anyone else disappointed in The African Queen when they watched it (not just for cutting purposes but in general)? I've only seen it once, and I liked Bogart playing against type, but other than that I found it to be a pretty uninteresting film.

I've only seen it once, and I liked Bogart playing against type, but other than that I found it to be a pretty uninteresting film. It's almost completely carried by star power and location shooting that probably seemed really exotic in the 50s. There isn't really much to it beyond that. They say John Huston just made it as an excuse to go to Africa and do a safari on the side and I believe it. |

I don't think I'll add any for the moment. There are already movies up that I plan to vote for.

If Neverending keeps Roger Rabbit as one of his, then make my third All That Jazz. If he doesn't, then make it Roger Rabbit. |

They say John Huston just made it as an excuse to go to Africa and do a safari on the side and I believe it. Yeah it seems odd that film historians still rate the film so highly. I don't think it's a bad film, but there's nothing about it while watching that's impressive either. It's a good concept, but it's honestly just not as creative or fun as it could've been. |

The missing chunk on Donny's is "The Royal Tenenbaums". Formatting issue in the table.
