Casablanca or Gone With The Wind?
 
Out of the two classic drama/romance movies which one is your personal favorite?

For me, it is Gone With the Wind, no contest! I just love that movie so much. It is my personal favorite movie of all time. :nod:

The reason I am asking such a question is because I just started my movie appreciation class this semester. So, I have become a little movie obsessed lately.

I was really obsessed with Gone With the Wind for a long time when I was younger. It was once on my life of top favourite movies, but I took it off recently. I dunno, they're both good. I'd be more likely to get through the entire Casablanca right now cuz GWTW in long. I haven't seen the whole thing in years. Other than that, it's pretty hard to choose between them. They're classics!

Well being from Georgia, I'd have to say Gone With The Wind. One of my mottos: "After all, tomorrow is another day."

Neither. Howzabout "All About Eve"? Or "The Women"? Those two are much better choices.

When did you drop the "topher" off your name, bubbaleh?

I agree with everyone, Gone With the Wind for sure. For some reason, I just don't like Casablanca. I always get upset when Casablanca is ranked better than Gone With the Wind on those "Best Movies of All Time" lists.

For our first class this week we watched Casablanca, which was our teacher's idea of the best American film of all time. I just can't connect with the characters in that movie the way I can with Scarlett, Rhett and Melanie.

Well I just said GWTW and Casablanca because well... I've seen both of those several times. I haven't seen either of the movies you mentioned but I will be viewing them soon since it's a requirement for the class. I'm excited to watch All About Eve because I've heard that is a great movie....

I dropped the topher because I go by Chris in real life. I don't knnow why I wrote Christopher in my signature for so long though.

I know one of the first 2 Godfather or maybe both are in the top ten too.

Casablanca all the way. A true classic. I remember watching Gone With the Wind in my high school English class one year, and I laughed when the girl fell off the horse. My teacher got mad and made me sit outside in the hall.

It's already been remade once...1956 I believe..."The Opposite Sex", which was wonderful IMO!

I would dread seeing what they did to it now though....:distress:
