Casablanca 80th Anniversary – Cinema Screening!

Casablanca is one of my all time favourite films and for so many different reasons, I was so excited when it was announced that it would be getting cinema screenings to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the film! Across all different cinema chains, but so lucky that my local Cineworld were going to be screening it for the whole week at 7:10pm so I made the effort to make sure I got to the Friday night screening and I ended up being the only person in the screen!

I love catching up with older films of the big screen and even more so when it is one of my favourites, I feel like I have waited years to see Casablanca in all its glory on the big screen! Yes, it has been on in different cinemas over the years but not at times that I could actually make. So this turned out to be perfect time, it was also an extra lovely touch for it to be the day after my Nanna Hannah’s memory, 11 years she loved Humphrey Bogart.

Top 10 – Tragic Love Stories: Part 1

Well my original plan was to have this top 10 done and out on Valentine’s Day mainly because tragic love stories where people don’t end up together seem to be more of a reality than the rom-com’s with the whole cliché of they lived happily ever after the end. I decided to make a long list of possible films which I could have put in my top 10 list.

In the list you will find many different love stories but all a lot shorter than they should have been.

Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, The Bridges of Madison County, Splendor In The Grass, Titanic, Brokeback Mountain, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Romeo & Juliet, City of Angels, Ghost, Love Story, A Walk to Remember, (500) Days of Summer, Phantom of the Opera and The Way We Were.
