The Big Sleep

Amy's Classic Movie Blog did another nice review of one of my favorite films:  The Big Sleep (1946), with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.  I have to completely agree with Amy's conclusion: 
This movie has everything a great detective film should have, from a long and winding cast of characters who are never quite what they claim to be to a mysterious and sarcastic leading lady.
