How many times can you watch Casablanca?
This is the umpteenth time for me.
Every thing else on my Dish Network sux.
A Brazillion channels and everything else sux.

What the hell.
I still enjoy Casablanca and still see little things/hear lines that I missed before.

"Of all the gin joints in all the world..."

It's still the same old story.
A fight for love and glory.
On that you can rely.
The fundamental things apply,
As time goes by...


Here's looking at YOU, kid.

9. I like the movie but
I find myself laughing all time. The phrases from that movie have been so overused that they almost parody themselves.

10. Once was enough.

It's become one big cliche.

Umberto Eco wrote a good essay on it:

11. How many times can you watch
"Monty Python and the Holy Grail"?

Same answer.

If I could have only one DVD, the decision between those two would probably cause my brain to implode.
