Quandary: "Casablanca" vs "Brother Where Art Thou?"

[trof]

Casablanca on TCM at 7 CDT.
Brother on AMC, same time.
Damn.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. No contest for me, my dear trof...

Casablanca, every time!

But you're not me.........

Can you record one while you watch the other?

Good luck!

[trof]

5. I'm very sentimental about that movie.

Bet I've seen it 100 times and I STILL see things I hadn't noticed before.
I dunno.
BWAT is so funny.
Maybe I'll just flip back and forth.

2. Casablanca's such a classic but Oh Brother is my choice.

GOD I love that music. And the acting's brilliant. And it's based on The Odyssey so I guess it's a classic too, really.

3. Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.

[Moondog]

4. Casablanca shows up on one

channel or another every four to six weeks. Not so with "Brother". You have a better chance of seeing "Casablanca" again soon. So, if you're truly torn, watch "Brother". If not, for me it would be "Casablanca".

6. A very cogent comment. Thank you.

7. Why climb a molehill,

when you can go to the mountaintop.

I Like Brother, but.

8. I just had to analyze Casablanca for a Literary class

That's my choice for you--Casablanca.

10. Casablanca = no commercials

[Graybeard]

11. Always choose TCM. No commercials.

And TCM guaranties the film will be shown uncut. (Although I caught them showing Poltergeist without the scene of the parents smoking pot. But that is the only time)

12. Split the difference and watch Treasure of the Sierra Madre

13. Brother. I never got into Casablanca

[nytemare]

14. You know Rick, I have many a friend in Casablanca

but somehow, just because you despise me, you're the only one I trust.

15. Get the DVDs and have a lovely evening watching both!

- or is that cheating?

[Graybeard]

17. And the box set has 14 hrs of extras!!!

Casablanca Anniversary Set is said to have 14 hours of extras, supplements, docs, making of...etc. WOW.

16. Casablanca

My favorite movie scene, bar none, is the singing of the "Marseillaise" in Casablanca. I stand and sing along, even though I am not French.

[Hayabusa]

18. Damn!

Missed it last night and was watching Oh Brother. I love Oh Brother, but I already have that on DVD and I've only seen Casablanca once...

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. dvds were invented for situations just like this.

I own very few of them, but they are all excellent movies worth watching again and again.
