As much as I am not a Casablanca fan, looking back at what it was up against for the best picture Oscar, I'm glad it won. The only thing in the lineup that I regard as clearly superior is Heaven Can Wait.

Just about every Curtiz film between 1937 and 1948 is worth a watch. A special prize to the absolutely bonkers Flamingo Road.

OL: I knew about the blackface scene in Holiday Inn (haven't seen it; I assume TCM plays the film intact with a warning?); I was going to mention that too.

Those three and now White Christmas are all I've seen.
No King Creole? Elvis Noir!

I've seen like two Elvis movies--Loving You and Jailhouse Rock and I think that's it. (Not even VLV, no.)
