The quintessential classic movie, CASABLANCA has everything-- humor, action, adventure, but most importantly love. If you've never seen this movie, what are you waiting for? Ingrid Bergman is gorgeous, Humphrey Bogart irresistible, and the lines have gone down in history as some of classic Hollywood's most memorable. Not to mention that other famous love song, As Time Goes By.

It may be the biography of a baseball player (Lou Gehrig), but this movie is not a sports film. It's the story of an American hero who was struck down by a fatal illness in his prime, and the wife who's beside him all the way. Oscar-nominated performances by both Gary Cooper and Teresa Wright give this fine romance dramatic merit as well-- and then there's that song Always...

Gosh, I love this movie. I don't think they come much better. It's not a chick-flick; it's just an honest-to-goodness great film. Three veterans return from World War II and attempt to readjust to civilian life. Besides their own personal torments, the movie chronicles those of there loved ones as well-- it's perhaps the most thought-provoking films I've ever seen. And as far as romance goes, there's not one, but three-- featuring Fredric March, Myrna Loy, Dana Andrews, Teresa Wright, Harold Russell and Cathy O'Donnell. Don't miss this film.
