We played "Casablanca" as part of our 60th Anniversary Classics series in 1990. It was a really clean print, very sharp. Had a lot of people who had seen the movie in the Roxy when it first came out, which was cool.

Star Trek IV remains the only ST movie that I've seen. I can't remember why I decided to watch it, but I really enjoyed it. I remember hearing that it was by far the funniest ST film.

One of the most popular films of all time (and the most popular Star Trek movie as well) and all this can muster is a single comment??? [Roll Eyes]

I tried to watch Casablanca once and never got into it.
Well, it was 30 years ago. Maybe I'll try again.
As for the other one, which Leonard Nimoy directed, there were numerous moments within in that are fun to pull up from memory.
"Where do we go to find a tank like that?"
*looks at the side of a building advertising the Yellow Pages*
Spock commenting on the Whale keeper's "colorful metaphors." Sounds really funny when he tries to speak like her.
Bones arguing with a surgeon with medical jargon. *after curing a woman waiting for dialysis*

Where do you keep the nuclear wessels?

I'm not sure if that was a Russian accent or Elmer Fudd as a dialog coach.

We've got Casablanca doubled with The Maltese Falcon on New Year's Day. Haven't run them for a while, so hopefully they'll draw a good crowd.

(Excellent detective work John [Wink] )

To be honest I'm not overly impressed. They at least managed to get it right and actually have it at 1.66 and in mono, but it's very noisy, and it's quite an obvious digital noise to my eyes. We have an original 35mm trailer which has had about forty million frames cut out of it but has a much cleaner picture. The 16mm exteriors suffer the worst.

But of course it's better than nothing and could be far worse.

I liked that the scene partly came about because Nimoy had the same thing happen in real-life and said "If I was really Spock, I'd pinch his head off."

And that when he didn't feel the music that was pre-selected for the scene represented the character that well, one of the associate producers wrote and recorded the song used in the movie.
