“Well, #art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take #cranberries and stew them like #applesauce they taste much more like #prunes than #rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.”

It’s a bit of a cliché, but God help me I love Casablanca , so:
#Casablanca (1942)
~
#TheCourtJester (1956)
~
#SomeLikeItHot (1959)
~
#TheManchurianCandidate (1962)
~
#WakeInFright (1971)
~
#TheWickerMan (1973)
~
#WithnailAndI (1987)

#TheBigStore (1941) airs on TCM Friday at 9:30am ET.
It's not their best (or even close), but it's the #MarxBros film WCBS Channel 2 in New York seemed to air the most on The Late Show back in the pre-VCR days (circa 1979-80).
So it will always have a special place in my heart.
