Halifax’s only single screen theatre, the Oxford, is celebrating 75 years of movie going. The Oxford opened its doors in 1937 on the corner of Quinpool Road and Oxford Street. To celebrate, they will be screening iconic films from the past 75 years.

The first Film will be something from the 1930s/40s..and we get to vote.. i have untill the 28th of June to make my choice, which one should it be?

I've seen Casablanca on the big screen, and it was great. I think it has just a little bit more spectacle than the other two, tho Mr Smith has great senes in the Capitol Building. And It Happpened One Night has great scenes taken on location in rural California. Really, I'd love to see any of them.

Great looking theatre! "Here's looking at you, kid"

Casablanca would probably be the biggest crowd pleaser -- it did very well when we showed it here -- and Mr Smith wins the appeal-to-lost-populism vote. But my favorite is It Happened One Night -- a film that wins over even the most hardened "I wont sit thru a mouldy black and white movie" crowd.

I love all three of these films, but the one that would really bring them in is Casablanca.

I've seen all three films several times, and I do like all the films, however, the only one I own is Casablanca, and I really think given the choices Casablanca is the film to go with.

I too voted for Casablanca. It's the one great classic that everyone recognises. If that don't pull people in off the streets, nothing will.

I voted Casablanca. People need clarification on the always mis-quoted classic, "Play it again Sam"..
