Casablanca

This is one of the few movies I can personally watch over and over again without getting tired of it. It’s set in unoccupied Africa during the early days of World War II. An American expatriate meets a former lover, with unforeseen complications.

When Harry Met Sally

Harry and Sally have known each other for years, and are very good friends, but they fear sex would ruin the friendship. Romantic, witty, funny, classic. And a marvelous happy end. Don’t watch the video below if you haven’t seen the movie yet – it will just ruin it for you.

Pretty Woman
