I actually mis-read it the first time and was guessing which one you WOULD
watch.  LOL, I see my error now.  If I had to choose one of them, it would
also be that one.

The Maltese Falcon was a Sam Spade movie, and a Dashiel Hammett (sp?) book.
 The Big Sleep was a Philip Marlowe movie, and a Raymond Chandler book.  I
think they are easy to confuse because Bogart played both Sam and Phil.
After seeing Bogart play Marlowe, Chandler supposedly thought he was the
best one to have played him (even though he was not crazy about some of the
story line changes).

Two of my favorite movies and books.  :)
