Bogart was cool, but I honestly haven't seen too many of his movies.

See, that's the point. The most imitated actor of all time is Humphrey Bogart. From Jack Nicholson to Harrison Ford on down the line, everybody wants to be Bogie. Yet if you've not seen Bogie's films you wouldn't see how so many actors imitate his moves, looks, 5 O'Clock shadow, cigarette smoking ( don't Bogart that joint comes from the way Bogart used to hold a cigarette forever while dishing out a line or contemplating something )
For the past 50 years guys have been imitating Bogart and then guys imitate the guys who imitate Bogart ad infinitum.
That's why I say Bogart is the coolest. Even my other favorites Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson imitated Bogart to a degree.
