'Casablanca' on TCM tonight. And 'yes' I'm gonna watch it for the umpteenth time.

This classic fascinates me.
Every time I watch it, I see something I didn't pick up on before.

My favorite is when the civilians in the casino shut down the German officers by singing The Marseilles.

It always makes me cry. I love that movie. I've seen it at least 10 or 15 times.

"Here are your winnings, sir."
Or lines to that effect.

"I'm SHOCKED" has become an internet

'Casablance' was followed by 'Gaslight' and it was a kick to see a fresh-faced Angela Lansbury again in her Best Supporting Actress role.

In college film studies class I liked "Citizen Kane" so much I did my term paper as a shot for shot analysis. I got an A+ for my final grade... is that something to worry about...?

I too love Casablanca, great story, great cast, great ending. I have watched it too many times to count and if it is on I cannot not watch it. Pass the popcorn please, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Later, we were talking about favourite movies. I said "Casablanca". The next day, she handed me a DVD. I'd have been happy to do it without payment.
