Casablanca

[Mr. 'H']

I watched Casablance today on the silver screen! There is an "arty" movie house in the city center that shows cool pictures every now and again.

It was so cool to see it on the big screen. I love the theatre aswell; it is really golden era. Gentleman beside me had a fine fedora. I had my '40s tie....

What a great flic, it has it all. I just love the cinema experience - it is so much better that watching something at home.

A nice little interlude for 1.30 in the afternoon (shhhhh!!!!! )

Sounds great! I've only seen Casablanca a few times on pitiful televisions -- I'd love to see it on the big screen.

According to miss Beaucaillou, Casablanca is going to be shown here in Portland at a similar, artsy movie establishment. I am excited.

Do go see it, it is well worth it.

My brother just rented this movie on DVD and I am going to watch it with him tonight. He hasn't seen it yet and he's pretty excited. However, I think seeing it on the big screen would be much better.
This last summer I was able to see The Maltese Falcon on the big screen and that was exciting. It's incredible just how much you miss watching a movie on television.
Anyways, that is pretty cool that you were able to see the movie that way!

Yes, I watched "Key Largo" in the same movie house a while ago and it was RIVETING!!!

I went to see this at a close by 1920's movie palace this November, and even though I'm not an enormous devotee of the flick (an opinion I know is next to blasphemous here ), it was quite a treat! An entirely different experience from the small screen. And what an audience there was that night! There was hardly room to breathe! Considering my city is fairly small, and people rarely come to the monthly classic movie screenings at this theatre, this was doubly surprising!

Yes, I bet he is to watch "Casablanca" for the first time ...that will be a treat, that's for sure. Let us know if yor brother liked it NRay.

My favorite movie, no question. Has everything I could want in a flick.
My second favorite..(here goes...)..."Titanic". Not a perfect movie by far, but what can I say, love the period, the romance of it and I'm a Titanic buff..

Don't be ashamed -- I saw it twice in the theater. I blamed my girlfriend, but I secretly went back to hear DeCaprio cry, "I'm the king of the world!"

Ben Affleck and Cate Blanchett are both in it. The movie is OK. It has been in theaters for a while, I think...

 

[Stoney]

LOL griffer...

I've seen it too many times to count, on the small screen. It would be great to see it in a real old time move house, but alas none like this in Tidewater.

 

[RyFranzese24]

Ahh, I love Casablanca. That would be great.

The only disappointment is that on the big screen it still won't be widescreen. It was shot fullframe (4:3). Oh well...

Is Sydney wearing a cummerbund?

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

I think it's perfectly OK to like "Titanic" (1997) but I'm not sure one ought to admit it in public. lol

 

[Feraud]

It looks like Greenstreet is wearing cummerbund.

 

[Hemingway Jones]

The "Fat Man" can wear anything he wants. Oops, wrong film.

.. correct sentiment.
He also sports a fez in the film and looks great!

He had a certain fluid grace to his movements, owing in part to the tremendous cut of his suits.

Although I've seen Casablanca dozens of times, today was the first time I took notice of the cummerbund. [huh]
