We taped Wings and are now looking forward to it even more.
As for Casablanca, any movie that ends with one man saying to another, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," doesn't need any more gay subtext credentials.
She's not just a blob of energy, she's also a 14-year-old hormone bomb.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I was thinking of you and Hubs and your love of old movies when I watched it. It's just... oh, it's an unbearably intimate, romantic scene.
I don't know enough about Wellman or either of the actors to even guess whether it was intentional or accidental; but, watching it, I could imagine some rural teenage boy in 1927, full of feelings he can't name but that scare him shitless, ducking out of an afternoon of school or chores to see that bang-up new flying aces movie, and being completely shaken by this one brief little window into a world he hadn't imagined could exist.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH and I saw Harold & Kumar 2 last night and laughed our asses off. While there's nothing in there quite equal to the "Hold On" scene from the first one, it's still REALLY really really funny. Less pot, more sex. NPH = made of awesome.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I'm not sure it's possible to equal the Hold On scene. I keep thinking one of these viewings, it won't be as funny, but thus far, that hasn't happened.

I just checked.
Still funny.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
the single slashiest scene I've ever ever seen in an ostensibly heteronormative movie.
I was going to say, slashier than the antagonistic triangle in Gilda? But the screencap proves that the answer is yes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Thanks to Tarantino, the "you can be my wingman" bit from Top Gun is always going to hold that place for me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
the "you can be my wingman" bit from Top Gun is always going to hold that place for me.
"Bullshit. You can be MINE."
That whole movie is nothing but Teh Gay.

And the screencap is just a wee little snippet. They're stroking each other's hair, petting each other's cheeks, gazing deeply into each other's eyes, and kissing. Top Gun is all big with the talk, but a bit low on the hair-stroking and snogging.
