Movies for Valentines Day: My Favorite Classic Love Stories

With Valentines Day quickly approaching I've been thinking about my favorite romantic movies. There are so many of them but the ones that fill my heart and sometimes my eyes with tears are the five classic oldies but always goodies, I am going to share with you in this review about love stories that never die..

One...A True Classic
Casablanca

If ever a love story was about self sacrifice and bravery than this is the one...This classic movie stars Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine, a man who has seen the worst in men during wartime and suffered a broken heart when his love, Ilsa, (Ingrid Bergman), left him in Paris during the height of war...the movie takes place years later when Rick, now the owner of nightclub in Casablanca, a free zone during the Nazi occupation in Europe. Many refugees show up there hoping for a way out...When Ilsa, is one of them, and shows up in his club with her new husband, Victor Laszlo, (Paul Henreid), a will known resistance fighter who is wanted by the Nazi's, and asks for Rick's help to get Victor out of Europe, the story evolves into a tale of mixed emotions for Rick and the eventual sacrifice one man will make for his true love...The last scene is one I have seen many times and it moves me like no other..."we will always have Paris"...how many times have you heard that famous sentence and visualized that scene in the airport as the last plane takes off...but with who aboard?

Little factoid: Boogy never really says, Play it again Sam...he just says, "Play it, If you can play it for her, you can play it for me"..

Two: This one brings tears to my eyes each time I see it
Love Is a Many Splendid thing
