Coming through on my Facebook feed this morning was the exciting news that Turner Classic Movies, NCM Fathom, and Warner Bros. will be celebrating the 70th anniversary of the beloved Academy Award-winning film, Casablanca, by joining forces to bring that beautiful film to the big screen once more.
The event, which will be Wednesday, March 21st, at 7:00 p.m. (local time), is scheduled for dozens of U.S. cities....mine being one of them. You can bet I will be attending! The chance to see my #2 movie of all-time on the big screen is rather an awesome thing.

It has been over a year since I've watched this wonderful film, and I am in dire need of a "fix." Therefore, I was intending to celebrate "Oscar night" with Casablanca. Instead, I'll wait a couple more weeks and catch it during this anniversary event. The delay---along with the silver screen experience---will make my eventual viewing all the more memorable and wonderful.
Anyhow, for more information about this event and to see if a city near you will be part of it, go HERE. I definitely hope many of you will be able to partake of this wonderful anniversary celebration.
How cool is this? :) :) :) Wonderful :) :) Have a great weekend. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)
ReplyDeleteThat is cool!
ReplyDeleteCasablanca was my grandma's favorite movie. I can't watch it now without thinking of her.
I LOVE it when they bring back the old movies to see on the huge screen! Maybe it will become the new thing to do!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I've never seen this movie? And I love Humphrey Bogart so I don't know why I've never watched it!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat as Victoria.
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed to say that I've never seen Casablanca and I consider myself a Bogart fan!
Have a great week Patti.
I saw this in my news feed, too, and was so excited! Imagine being able to see Casablanca on the big screen. I'm rounding up several of my friends and we're going to go see it as a group since it's playing at the theater just down the street from us. What fun! :)
ReplyDeleteHeather, yes, way cool! I am very excited!
ReplyDeleteCharity, your grandma had good taste!!
Becky, I don't know if it will become the thing to do, and I know it isn't an old movie, but "Titanic" is being re-released (in 3D, I think) in April, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of that tragedy.
Paul and Victoria, I can totally understand not having seen it. As we have discussed before, there are plenty of "famous" classics I haven't seen yet...some I have no desire to see. And I do know a handful of people who think "Casablanca" is over-rated, so you never know, y'all may not like it, though I think being Bogart fans, you would. He is wonderful in that film...I think he ought to have won the Academy Award that year.
Eileen, we need to dress like 1940's women when we attend the showing...red lipstick, hair curled and pulled up on the sides. If I had a fur coat, my ensemble would be complete!
