I’m a bit of a sucker for the movies of Hollywood’s golden age.  There’s something amazing about how they can be both wonderfully cheesy and brilliant at the same time.

I have lots of favourites, a few being It’s a Wonderful life, Gone with the Wind and Casablanca.  All fantastic movies.  I doubt we’ll ever see anything like that time again, so watching these movies and getting a blast from the past is fun.

Some of the most memorable movie quotes of all time came from this era, and they’re definitely more romantic then what is heard today in terms of pick up lines.  Would the quote from Casablanca “I was informed that you were the most beautiful woman ever to visit Casablanca. That was a gross understatement.” be a good pickup line today, if Casablanca was replaced with [appropriate location]?  I think it could work, sheer flattery is always nice!

You could always try it on the next person you see, or if you want to test out it’s effectiveness first.. play the Ultimate Flirting Championship, put on by Extreme Style by VO5 here. Get flirting!
