To Have and Have Not, based on a Hemingway story, starred Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Barrymore, Lauren Bacall, and Bogart against his gangster type persona...
I believe you mean "Key Largo" -- both films are great, though.
I'd have to second pretty much everything listed so far. You can't go wrong with most of Hitchcock's American work (and a couple of his British films, too).
One I don't see mentioned is "Touch of Evil", 1958. Kinda both a comeback and last gasp for Orson Welles. If you can suspend your disbelief and accept Charlton Heston as a Mexican it's a great film.
Just thought of some others..............The Grapes Of Wrath, African Queen, White Heat, The Champion with Anthony Quinn and Jackie Gleason, The Godfather, On The Waterfront, and Harvey.

You're right Dano, realized it after I posted. Was gonna edit but didn't think anyone would notice. That says something about you or me or both of us. I liked Have and Have Not as well, but not as much as Key Largo. Bogie and Bacall, and Edward G. was great in that, as was Lionel Barrymore. Love that growl of his. Thanks. Both were based on Hemingway stories, if I got it right this time.
Would agree that all the ones mentioned so far as good ones. There are way too many to name, but I'll add a few I don't think have been mentioned:
Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
Birdman of Alcatraz (1962)
The Thin Man (1934)
Ace In The Hole (1951)
The Hurricane (1937)
How Green Was My Valley (1941)
The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939)
