    I might be stoned for saying this,
    but I didn't find Casablanca as intruiging as the other Bogart classics:
    My favorites
    Treasure of the Sierra Madre
    Key Largo
    The big sleep

    but hubby says it's one of the best pictures of all time.
    Piano inspires me greatly as a romantic love story.

      while a great film, the Piano isn't exactly about love or romance. The love seems to be a result of the situation, in the same type of love between Nic Cage and Elizabeth Shue in Leaving Las Vegas. Her intense love for the piano and the native looks like it is an outburst of some other source of emotion. Loneliness is probably the hiding theme.

        doesn't mean it doesn't count. That is how all relationships are formed.

        She sacrificed her PIANO for her love, knowingly.
        She sacrificed her finger, unknowingly, for love.

        The whole film explored the idea of chemestry and natural attraction. There was nothing horrible about her chosen partner, aside from a little stiffness, especially considering the era. He lacked the passion she needed to commit herself emotionally to him.

        It is primarily a love story.

  I was hesitant to list it as it is not conventionally viewed as a romance. But is not true love letting the bird go, as the saying goes?

  Also this film has got to have the award for generating the most pop-culture phrases.

    to be the ultimate love story.
    You make popcorn, cup of hot cocoa and pull out
    a box of tissues.

    Kind of like Romeo and Juliet. Love for the sake of love. Real romance.
