We're watching some pre-70s films first to understand why that decade was different I suppose.

I always get the name of this move confused with chess GOAT Capablanca.

Anyone here seen Casablanca?

Cinema of the 70s and they show pre 70s movies? Why not 70s films only?

Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By' for old time's sake.

Havent seen it but I do have 2 Capablanca books.

He's not the GOAT.

Morphy's the GOAT. Or Magnus.

If we're talking the THE goat, then it's Bobby Fischer for defeating the entire Soviet school's prep in a time where second best American players that could help Fischer prep were comically dwarfed by the laser guided resources of the eastern bloc.

I have not seen the film, but the chess players name comes up periodically in my crossword puzzles.

I watched Citizen Kane this weekend and was mad that it was in 4:3, then realized that it was before widescreen was a thing.

I thought it was just okay when I saw it. It probably would have hit different had I not seen so many parodies of it already.

The La Marseillaise part is awesome, though.

It's a great film. I've seen it multiple times in the theater and may see it tomorrow night. I especially enjoy when a local theater in town plays it along with the Bugs Bunny short Carrotblanca.

"I'm shocked, shocked to find out gambling is going on here!"

"Your winnings, sir."

"Thank you."

I've definitely seen this lifted 1:1 in multiple other works. This film has a funny way of sprinkling humor like this through serious scenes.

The real mastermind through all of this is Renault for turning every moment to his advantage

Have never seen it myself, but hopefully you watch some interesting ones when the class does get to the 70s.

If they really want to show the difference between cinema in the 1940s and the 1970s, they should show The Wolf Man back to back with Werewolf of Washington.
