What I Watched, What You Watched: Installment #146

Flying home from France, in-between sleeping I managed to watch two movies as we crossed the Atlantic. My flight from New York to Seattle was essentially nothing but sleep, but in an attempt to try and stay awake as long as possible and hopefully regain my bearings sooner rather than later given the time difference these are the two films that kept me company.

Casablanca (1942)

I will give Delta credit for one thing and one thing only, their classic movie selection was rather decent. My memory is failing me and I can’t remember any of the titles outside of Goodfellas, Bonnie and Clyde and Casablanca, but I was impressed.

As for Casablanca, I think I saw about 80% of it as I was nodding off here and there, but who doesn’t love this film? One thing I always enjoy watching is Peter Lorre in his small role. I love watching Lorre in anything though, but when you consider that means films such as Casablanca, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Maltese Falcon and M it’s no wonder I love his films.

The Big Lebowski (1998)

This one I put on my iPad before we left the States, just because I was getting an itch to watch it again even though it isn’t one of my favorite Coen brothers films. I know The Big Lebowski has this massive cult following and everyone loves it to death, but for me it just isn’t that funny. I laugh, I laugh a lot, but it’s just one of those cases where the massive love it has from most is just a bit unfathomable. Oh well.

Now it’s your turn, what did you watch? Any trips to the theater this week?
