If you&rsquo;ve never seen it on a big screen, this is your chance. &nbsp;As described on The Cinefamily web site, the experience of <em>Casablanca<\/em> is potently satisfying on enough different levels (comedic, philosophical, visual, verbal, political, musical, etc.) that it&rsquo;s fair to call it one of the most absolutely romantic movies of all time. Its love triangle between the owner of the Moroccan nightclub for ex-pats (Humphrey Bogart), the dame who disappeared from his life once the Germans invaded Paris (the ravishing Ingrid Bergman) and her new resistance fighter flame (Paul Henreid) is so endearing that, like all great love songs, we must play it again!<\/p>\n<p>Dir.

According to The Cinefamily, this mix will feature everything from misguided educational sex ed films to weirdly romantic TV ads, homemade atrocities to their favorite sleazy &ldquo;how to score&rdquo; films!
