THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE;: I recently watched it and enjoyed very much. The acting and the direction was fantastic. I enjoyed the story and thought it was well developed. I'm giving this movie 5****STARS.
Humphrey Bogart owns this movie with his acting awesomeness. This is one of the best movies of all time. Everybody should watch it. I like it way better than "Citizen 'Overrated' Kane". Enough said.
