The African Queen has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, with the Library of Congress deeming it "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".  

I saw this film when I was about nine years old and my impression was then, as it is now, chemistry! Both, Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart had an immense presence and together they were just explosive.

Bogart and Bacall

Dark Passage  (1947) is a Warner Bros. film noir directed by Delmer Daves and starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. The film is based on the novel of the same name by David Goodis. It was the third of four films real-life couple Bacall and Bogart made together. The film is notable for its first third being shot entirely from the point of view of Bogart's character, Vincent Parry, his face never seen. The story follows Parry's attempts to hide from the law and clear his name of murder.

You Dirty Yellow-Bellied Rat

Taxi! is a 1932 film starring James Cagney and Loretta Young. The movie was directed by Roy Del Ruth.

The film includes two famous Cagney dialogues, one of which features Cagney conducting a conversation with a passenger in Yiddish, and the other when Cagney is speaking to his brother's killer through a locked closet, "Come out and take it, you dirty yellow-bellied rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!." The provenance of this sequence led to Cagney being famously misquoted as saying, "You dirty rat, you killed my brother."
Also, in a lengthy and memorable sequence, an unbilled George Raft and his partner win a ballroom dance contest against Cagney and Young, after which Cagney slugs Raft and knocks him down.

Tragic love.
