PICK: Casablanca

Movie date: If you think dating during a global pandemic is difficult, consider the plight of Casablanca’s main characters, Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) and Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), the ill-fated lovers attempting to escape German-occupied Morocco in the midst of World War II. Yet for all their obstacles, can you think of a more swoon-worthy pair (or film) to spend Valentine’s Day eve with? Here’s looking at you kid!

Saturday 2/13, $5-8, 3 and 7pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 979-1333. theparamount.net
