Movies that feel likeCasablanca (1943)
If you loved Casablanca, the closest films we have are Children of Paradise (1945), Brief Encounter (1945) and Great Expectations (1946). All three share Casablanca's contemplative and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Make Way for Tomorrow (1937).

If Casablanca hit the spot, these will too

Contemplative and romantic in the same breath


Romance with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Drama built on romance, twice over


Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Romance with a pulse of romance, in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: love triangle

Common ground in both: nazi and spy
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Casablanca does

A streak of tenderness through both
