Top Films:
Casablanca - don't be put off by a black and white film - this movie has it all. Drama, espionage, humor, romance, and an all-star cast. You've probably seen this movie parodied or spoofed dozens of times, most likely through cartoons.
 
Who Framed Roger Rabbit - before there was Space Jam (or Space Jam 2), there was this perfect noir, live-action/cartoon hybrid. It's the only film that has both Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny in it!
