Here's looking at you kid...

I finally managed to watch Casablanca fully. The past two times I've tried to, something always interrupted me. Don't ask me why, but I seem to be taken into some of the older films these days.

Watched Citizen Kane sometime ago as well. Heard so much about it and just had to see what the fuzz is all about.

Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a critic. I don't usually connect with many old movies (Casablanca being an exception), until I read up more on them. Then you read about certain aspects of the film that made it what it is and go 'Oh yeah...'.

Well, think I'll go hunt for some other old movies to watch. Feel free to make suggestions :p

Try Ben-Hur.
It is a good movie directed by William Wyler.
Ben Hur film version of Lew Wallace's novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1880).


The DVD released in 2005 (4 Disc):

Disc One & Two: The Movie
Disc Three: The 1925 Silent Version
Disc Four: About the Movies


Hope you'd been entertained by watching this movie.

Hm... why the marathon? Dunno...
What's worse is I sat through the 4 Batman movies at one go... ><
Head was swimming after that.

@Angel: 1880 movie? I didn't even know they made movies at the time... Anyhow, I've seen the Ben Hur movie with Charlton Heston (as well as his Ten Commandments). Any others? :p
