Windbreaker,
They might be all you got but they're both right. I'm wondering if this could be harder than I thought it would be.

Loki,
You really are a mischevious God! What a couple of obscure ones to get! Yes, they are all correct.
Indy,
Full marks to you also.
Cat,
Sorry, Bogie's character in The Desperate Hours was Glenn Griffin. You got the other two, though.

Gambo,
Yep, all correct. Not three of his best films. In The Oklahoma Kid with Cagney he displayed his clear discomfort with westerns. and The Return of Doctor X is one I think everyone would rather didn't happen.
Indy Gent,
1. is spot on. High Sierra was the first film that Bogie got the lead. In his previous film They Drive By Night, he billed fourth.
However, as I indicated to Cat earlier, Bogie played Glenn Griffin in The Desperate Hours; therefore, 15 is wrong.

Judging by the hints, #10 must be "The Petrified Forest".

Indy,
#10 is certainly The Petrified Forest. Considering it was a landmark film not only for Bogart but for Bette Davis, I am surprised that it didn't go off immediately.
