As an adult I have watched a gazillion movies by now in my lifetime. 1 movie has always stuck out and I grasped on to it at an early age. Casablanca.

I loved both Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn in the roles they played. Today I see that recognition has come through in the form of a poll.

HERE'S LOOKIN AT YOU KID

Just for fun I thought that it would be kinda cool if some of you chimned in with your favorites as well. I imagine that some of them are on the list as well.

So let er rip..... Let's here em.....

African Queen
The Shining (original, Jack Nicholson) I watched this movie 8 times in a row when it came out...in ONE night!(on Showtime)
