Breakfast at Tiffany (1961)
A famous movie in the 60`s until now. Not only that, the main character Holly, (Audrey Hepbrum) had become a role icon in the fashion industry. Holly is a character that does not care much of her life but she work hard for her brother. She sometimes tricks her life like a fool. Her life was so clutter with problems that she does run away with it .She got married to a Doc (Buddy Ebsen) with adoption of three children. So she ran off to Broadway that was located in New York City. While her brother Fred in the camp based back in her hometown. She missed her brother so much until she called her new neighbor Paul Varjak (George Peppard), Fred as his nickname. As time goes by, Paul felt in love with Holly. How they will end up? Then you should find out!

Casablanca (1942)
This movie had highly credited because it was produces right after World War One. Therefore, this movie sets was in World War One. Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) was a former fighter back in Europe, who has settle in Casablanca with a café that called as “Rick Café”. One night, here comes his old lover from Paris where they met that is Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) and with her husband Victor Lazlo (Paul Henreid). He was mad seeing her coming to his café.  Especially when he heard the pianist, Sam (Dooley Wilson) played “as times goes by” while it was requested by Ilsa. So, what will come after next?

In `Breakfast at Tiffany’ Holly Golightly met Paul while Doc in search of her in New York. Paul was a shock when Doc told Paul that he was Holy`s husband. As this similar story lines were in `Casablanca’ when Rick met Ilsa back in Paris without knowing that Ilsa was a married woman. When their second meeting in Casablanca, Rick only knew IIsa was married by herself. Both of the ladies in the movies have something in common is they had fallen in love with other guy while their man were not around. Add on to that, both of these movies had love triangle that cause by the ladies.

There are some different in two of this film that is the message of it trying to convey to the audience.  In `Casablanca’ they trying to convey a message about World War One and as for `Breakfast at Tiffany’ the message is about life in Broadway, New York. While at that time most of Americans is trying hard to get in Broadway for glamour.

Both movies are the best movies in all times and it got a lot of prestigious award. That made them in the segment of classical movie. It would be a great movie for a big family with different ages to enjoy watching it together.
