Guess Who's in the Jungle

65. The African Queen (1951)- There haven't been too many movies on the list like this one. Even if there has been a love story, it does not seem to be the main aspect of the movie. Falling in love has been second or even third behind rage, wars, gun fights, and drug busts. You do not see many movies that focus on World War I and yet show barely any war at all. Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart (someone who will grace this list many a times) were simply charming. Even though the stars were avoiding gunfire, riding rapids, and making it down a river few had, it was mostly just them talking and falling in love. Hepburn's character was a missionary's sister who traveled with him to Africa. After the German Army destroyed their African Village, and Hepburn's brother died, she decided to try to avoid more destruction by traveling with the messenger steamboat man, Humphrey Bogart. She a good bible girl, him a drinking steamboat captain. A match made in heaven. The rest of the plot is about the pair getting down the river to attack a German ship with homemade torpedoes. I won't give away this ending because I think you should watch this movie! I may be a little biased since I have not ever seen a Katharine Hepburn movie I did not enjoy, but I still think this has been one of my favorite so far! Two Thumbs Up!
