Humphrey Bogart remains a towering figure in classic cinema, particularly known for his roles in film noir. Over his career, he starred in 75 films, yet only ten have achieved a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Notable Films with Perfect Scores
Among Bogart’s films, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre stands out with 55 reviews, all classified as fresh. This film showcases Bogart’s range as he plays a paranoid gold miner. Other titles achieving a 100% score include:
- The Petrified Forest
- Black Legion
- Angels with Dirty Faces
- The Roaring Twenties
- Marked Woman
- Kid Galahad
- The Barefoot Contessa
- The Harder They Fall
- All Through the Night
High Scores, Fewer Reviews
While many of Bogart’s films are critically acclaimed, some of those with perfect scores have few reviews. For instance, Kid Galahad has just six reviews, while Marked Woman has five. This limited feedback may skew perceptions of their quality.
Despite the impressive achievement of having ten films rated 100%, the context of these scores is essential. High ratings can be easier for older films with fewer reviews, highlighting the nuanced relationship between a film’s score and its critical reception.
For those interested in exploring Bogart’s work beyond the classics like Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon, these ten films provide a worthwhile starting point.
