Violet was totally Teen Titans' Raven. I keep wanting to call her Raven.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Casablanca," which was No. 1 on AFI's list of best love stories
But Casablanca wasn't really a love story. I honestly have no idea why those two were in love with each other. I mean, I was told again and again that they were, and that this seemed to have happened in Paris, and they had some chemistry, but I honestly never saw the love. And then I was creeped out by the whole "think for me" thing. And then there was the completely gay ending, but I felt like that gay love story wasn't really featured as it should have been, in order to be called a love story.
Whatever. I realize my opinion of Casablanca is the minority opinion.

Yes, Casablanca is a love story, but it's not a love story between Rick and Ilsa, it's a love story between Rick and Captain Renault, but because of the era it was made in, it's very much in the closet.

If nothing else, I like it because it set up Bergman's character as a type to be made fun of by Lauren Bacall in To Have and Have Not before she and Bogie showed moviegoers what a love story was REALLY like.

Hell, Claude Rains even has a line along the lines of "If I was a woman, I would be very much in love with Rick".

Hmm. I have never seen this. I am hesitant to do so, simply because I've heard so many great things about it. And for some reason, when it comes to classic movies, when I go in expecting something good, I am inevitably disappointed. See: Casablanca, Citizen Kane, etc.

To Have and Have Not rocks like a thing that rocks. Bogie and Bacall--damn.

Yep. I don't think the actual story is anywhere as iconic as that of Casablanca, but IMHO no one has EVER rivalled the romantic chemistry those two put on screen in the film. If the print you're watching melts through, it ain't the heat from the projector bulb.
