Casablanca
(1942)
Casablanca
(1942)
The classic and much-loved romantic melodrama Casablanca
(1942), always found on top-ten lists of films, is a masterful tale
of two men vying for the same woman's love in a love triangle. The
story of political and romantic espionage is set against the backdrop
of the conflict between democracy and totalitarianism. With rich
and smoky atmosphere, anti-Nazi propaganda, Max Steiner's superb
musical score, suspense, unforgettable characters and memorable
lines of dialogue (e.g., "Here's lookin' at you, kid",
and the inaccurately-quoted "Play it again, Sam"), it
is one of the most popular, magical (and flawless) films of all
time - focused on the themes of lost love, honor and duty, self-sacrifice
and romance within a chaotic world. Woody Allen's Play It Again,
Sam (1972) paid reverential homage to the film, as have the
lesser films Cabo Blanco (1981) and Barb Wire
(1996), and the animated Bugs Bunny short Carrotblanca (1995).

Frankenstein
(1935)
Frankenstein
(1935)
The classic and definitive monster/horror film of all time, Frankenstein
(1931) is the screen version of Mary Shelley's Gothic 1818 nightmarish
novel of the same name (Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus).
The film, with Victorian undertones, was produced by Carl Laemmle
Jr. for Universal Pictures, the same year that Dracula (1931),
another classic horror film, was produced within the same studio
- both films helped to save the beleaguered studio. [The sequel
to this Monster story is found in director James Whale's even greater
film, Bride of Frankenstein (1935).] more

The Last Picture Show
(1971)
The
Last Picture Show
(1971)
The Last Picture Show (1971) is an evocative and bittersweet slice-of-life
'picture show' from newcomer 31 year-old director Peter Bogdanovich,
who had previously directed only one other feature film, the low-budget
Targets (1967), with Boris Karloff cast as a horror-movie star.
His gritty, authentic-looking, black and white film (considered
obsolete at the time), with expressive, high-contrast cinematography
by Robert Surtees, was widely acclaimed at the time of its release
and noted as the director's tribute to the classic films of legendary
directors Howard Hawks (Red River (1948)), John Ford (The Grapes
of Wrath (1940)), and Welles himself (Citizen Kane (1941)). [Orson
Welles suggested to Bogdanovich that he should film in black and
white. The film's theme is similar to Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons
(1942) - about the passing of an earlier way of life due to the
advent of the automobile at the turn of the century.]
