Casablanca, my favorite movie

kpkelley · 01-29-2009, 04:20 PM

I voted for Casablanca, because the best movie of the decade or all-time for that matter didn't win - Citizen Kane.

P@t_Mtl · 01-29-2009, 04:29 PM

Casablanca

JamesKurtovich · 01-29-2009, 04:30 PM

Never seen any of these.

tacoreed · 01-29-2009, 04:31 PM

Having been the only movie that I've seen and is considered one of the best movies ever made. Casablanca

Go Blue · 01-29-2009, 04:36 PM

Haven't seen any, but the BD of Casablanca is in my queue.

toef · 01-29-2009, 04:39 PM

These threads have made the Movie section hard to look at.

Anyhow, I voted for Casablanca (the obvious choice) but Best Years of Our Lives isn't far behind, and is one of my favorite/one of the best movies I've seen.

Blu Titan · 01-29-2009, 04:52 PM

Casablanca without a doubt!

great movies. You would like them very much.

Ator the Invincible · 01-29-2009, 05:32 PM

I've seen all but 3 of these (Going My Way, The Lost Weekend, & Gentleman's Agreement). Of the 7 I've seen, Casablanca takes the cake, with The Best Years of Our Lives coming in second.

Woody · 01-29-2009, 05:37 PM

Havent seen many, vote for Casablanca.

dahoover · 01-29-2009, 08:06 PM

Casablanca is the only one I have seen but it is a great movie so I feel justified in saying that it is the best.

Ferris · 01-29-2009, 10:11 PM

I've only seen Casablanca, All the Kings Men and Hamlet. Of those, I would say Casablanca is the best.

Pirate King · 01-29-2009, 10:12 PM

Casablanca of course. But kudos to The Lost Weekend. It is a great film dealing with alcoholism. Ray Milland (Hope I spelled it correctly) was brilliant. You should catch it on TCM when you can.

AKORIS · 01-29-2009, 10:19 PM

CASABLANCA--- timeless!

kefrank · 01-30-2009, 03:29 AM

Casablanca is a fantastic movie and unquestionably one of the best movies ever, but I personally revisit and enjoy Rebecca more.

Casablanca is one of the best motion pictures of any era. It's a near perfect film in plot, acting, dialogue, cinematography, score, pace, etc. Rebecca would be #2
