I love the movie Casablanca. It has the great Bogie

That just reminded me of a Beatles interview where Ringo says, "Isn't Humph wond?" (as in- "Isn't Humphrey Bogart wonderful?") Hay anyone seen it? Its in the depths of Youtube somewhere but I can't be bothered to trawl through looking for it right now.

I love the movie Casablanca. It has the great Bogie. The scene when they play Le Marseilles might be my favorite movie moment.

The line when Sam tells Rick how the Germans will be after him. Rick says " I left a note in my apartment if they want to find me."

The Thin man movies are great as well.

I love the old gangster movies with Cagney, Bogart, and Edward G Robinson

I have actually never seen the movie

I've actually never seen a lot of movies: The Lion King, Titanic, Avatar, Schindler's List, Snow White, Toy Story (I have seen 2 and 3).

There are a lot more, so stay tuned. Or don't. I really don't care.

That's the one! The whole album (A Touch Of Schmilsson) is like that. My favourite song on it is Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You):

There should probably be a Harry Nilsson thread actually. So I'll make one.

Oh, I'm a Casablanca fan! Never miss it when it's on. I love Claude Rains' scenes - he's so cheerfully cynical!

Oh yes He is

Joe is the version you were talking about? Wonderful

Yes, Play It Again, Sam was based on a stage play written by Woody Allen, which he adapted for the screenplay. It was way before the 1990s though.

I've heard that version and I love it!!!

And Joe, isn't it that movie based on a play? Or is the other way around? Because in Mexico in the 90s (or 00s, don't remember well) there was a theater company that had a production of Play it again Sam. I never had the chance to see it.

I don't think I've ever seen Casablanca all the way through. My favourite film, though, is Play It Again, Sam by Woody Allen, so make of that what you will.

Anyone heard Harry Nilsson's version of As Time Goes By? It's on an album of standards that he did, A Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night, which was produced by Derek Taylor. It's an excellent album (I'm a huge Nilsson fan - he was a friend to The Beatles, John in particular) - the song reappears as a motif throughout the record.

(Not trying to derail the thread or anything - this ...

I'm not practicularly familar with that film, but I watch a lot of black and white movies.

Like A Hard Day's Night?

Well yes, but I was referring to "The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer" type movies, and like "Rebel Without a Cause."

Have you seen any of The Thin Man movies?

The film was a gimmick to get United Artists Records a deal to release the soundtrack in America.

Stop fighting me on everything, M3. It's aggrevating.

I'm not fighting you. If you want to know what a fight is, go see one of the locked threads. ("What does Paul say at the end of 'Cry Baby Cry'" and "Bass: Paul vs. George.") Really. I'm not fighting you.

EXAMPLE OF A FIGHT:
"You're a baby"

"Shut up"

"It's not my fault if you disagree with me even though anyone with half a brain can see I am right and you ...
