The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
Interesting story of greed and human nature. Takes too long…hammers home points long after they've sunk in…but still, a deserved classic.
Weirdly enough, it's Bogart who almost ruins things -- everyone else has a naturalness about them (well, maybe not the Mexican bandits -- this is the origination of the classic "steenkin' badges" line), but Bogart is almost sweating to convey his character's descent into madness. Shoulda taken it down a notch.
