Hands down the greatest romance/film of all time. It never gets old but ages like fine wine. I also watched my copy and the transfer is brilliant.

The regular edition is $11.49 on amazon: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Casab...Blu-ray/41224/


EDIT: I'm not 100% sure that the double pack below includes the 70th anniversary edition

Alternatively, you can get it with The African Queen for $14.99 at BB, it releases on 3/12:

....in 2 months.

Still, a great deal if you don't mind waiting and don't own either one.

On Sale : They just moved this price down to $11.49 on Amazon. But, when I tried to report that Best Buy had it for $9.99, a glitch they're "working on" prevented their system from accepting Best Buys url (even though it accepted a report I sent in on Ben-Hur - which they matched down to $9.99)! I reported this to them twice and, since they couldn't get the glitch fixed in time, they gave me $3 off my order! So call first if you want to get the $9.99 price.

Looks like it's time to finally retire my HD-DVD copy of Casablanca. $10 for one of the greatest movies ever made is such a steal.

Was thinking about picking up the Steelbook from the UK due out in a few weeks, but for $9.99 at Best Buy, I couldn't pass this deal up!

Agreed. Probably my favorite film. Ordered from Best Buy and cannot wait to enjoy it again.

Wow, glad I got this yesterday from Amazon (with a PM discount). And good news for all who got it from Best Buy, because they're now out of it in stores and online. No backorder or delay offered - they just dropped it from my cart!

Good luck with that plastic garbage bag Best Buy ships in when you only order one Blu.

Thanks!

Best Buy has an Oscar end cap with this 70th anniversary edition, Ben Hur, Network, Amadeus (non-book) and several others priced at $9.99. In typical Anderson fashion, half of the titles weren't stocked yet. I think the sale tag said the deal ends sometime next month, so these would be great upgrade and save choices.

Does this version have any extras? I am hoping everything that was on the box set edition except for the physical extras.

It has all of the extras found on the first disc, but none of the Warner brothers docs found on the 2nd disc, which is only found in the UCE

You can see the list of extras here (anything that says Disc1, nothing that says Disc 2): https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Casab.../33623/#Review

Thanks. This version will work for me.

It's too bad they never released a stand alone 2-Disc Blu Ray version of Casablanca without all the extra stuff, like they did with Oz and Gone with the Wind. I would so buy that!

cough up the $45 and you'll enjoy it
