I turn 60 next Thursday and I'm doing a movie binge-athon all day [View all]

I have never seen Casablanca, believe it or not, so it's first on my list. I also have never seen Citizen Kane. I have Amazon Prime which includes movies, and I'm also going to raid Google Movies.

Any other suggestions ? I do prefer color over black and white and newer over later, but if it's a classic older movie, I'm open to it. They don't have to be comedies but nothing really sad, please.

I see my older brother the next day, so that will be wonderful. He lives 4 hours away.

Suggestions ? Thank you very much in advance!

Steve
