It is indeed difficult to do so, drystyx--just wait until mikef6 gets to this poll!--but I am going with some conventional and some unconventional choices (by "unconventional," I don't mean that they're considered bad movies, just that I'm choosing them instead of some more well-known pictures on this list):
Conventional: The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, Casablanca, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Somewhat Less Conventional: Passage to Marseille, The Caine Mutiny, To Have and Have Not, The Barefoot Contessa (I would have put Across the Pacific on this list instead of Passage to Marseille if it were here.)
I'm choosing those instead of some possibly more celebrated Bogie performances in The African Queen (fun but overrated--more slow-moving and less amusing than I had expected), Key Largo (best thing about it is Eddie G.), and High Sierra (I'm just not that fond of it, unfortunately, though Lupino's superb).
I'm a big fan of Angels with Dirty Faces, but, as this is a Bogie poll and Bogie's something of a bit player in that one, I'll leave it off this list.
And a shout-out to Return of Dr. X, a terrible-but-very-fun movie, with a wildly miscast Bogart, that telegonus , mikef6 , and I were discussing on another thread.
