Gable. Loved him in It Happened One Night. And, of course, GWTW.

I'm gradually coming to the conclusion that Bogart wasn't much of an actor, period.

Yes, physically a little guy but a giant of a man. Loved him in Double Indemnity, that speech where he lists the ways people have committed suicide.

He was no different from any other officer in the wardroom, they were all disloyal. I tried to run the ship properly, by the book, but they fought me at every turn. The crew wanted to walk around with their shirt tails hanging out, that's all right, let them. Take the tow line, defective equipment, no more, no less. But they encouraged the crew to go around scoffing at me, and spreading wild rumors about steaming in circles, and then old yellow strain. I was to blame for Lt. Maryk's incompetence and poor seamanship. Lt. Maryk was the perfect officer, but not Captain Queeg.

Ah, but the strawberries, that's, that's where I had them, they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist, and I've had produced that key if they hadn't pulled the Caine out of action. I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officer... Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory. If I left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I'll be glad to answer them.

Interesting debate. Although they both made roughly the same number of films, I could recall many, many more by Bogart than Gable. Although I prefer Gable's dashing good looks, I'm just not that interested in his films, aside from It Happened One Night and GWTW. I've seen and can recall many more of Bogart's, and enjoy watching him act.
