This is my personal list of the movie films that I recommend for both entertainment and content value.

1. Casablanca. An insight into foreign policy during the World War II era.

2. Yankee Doodle Dandy. A biography of the famed songwriter and playright, George M. Cohan, during the World War I era.

3. Pride of the Yankees. The true story about, Lou Gehrig, a great athlete and person.

4. Gunga Din. Based on a poem by Rudyard Kipling, with superb acting about the British empire in India.

5. Gone With The Wind. A historical drama about the challenges during the Civil War.

6. Animal Crackers. The Marx Brothers at their zany best.

7. Tora Tora. The events leading up to World War II, and the attack of Pearl Harbor.

8. Citizen Kane. The rise and fall of a giant .

9. Inherit The Wind. Clarence Darrow portrayed as the lawyer who defended a teacher accused of teaching the theory of evolution.

10. Young Man With a Horn. Kirk Douglas is a very talented musician seeking fame and fortune.

I have always been a motion picture fan and have many other favorites.

Relax and see a movie.

You are obviously a romantic. You make Casablanca sound like a documentary.
