You need to watch more "old black & white" movies. Some of the movies that exploited the limitations of the film for effects are far more a reflection of cinematic arts than most of the crap done today. Not to say there wasn't a lot of crap then but.
At a minimum you need to watch some of the other Bogie movies, if only to see where the cliches you hear a lot came from. He was in some really great movies.
Casablanca - one of the best movies made, special effects suck, but everything wlse is great, "shocked shocked" " Round up the usual suspects" "Of all the gin joints"
The Maltese Falcon - Private Eye "that's what dreams are made of"
Treasure of Sierra Madre - Badges, we don gotta cho you no steenken badges
African Queen
Other good b&w
Stagecoach, Yankee Doodle Dandy - Jimmy Cagney at his best
