The Biggest Disappointments

  • Casablanca (1942): I know this is a weird one to have as a disappointment. I guess that I was just expecting (after all the hype) for it to be one of the BEST films ever. It was certainly good, perhaps great... but not, in my opinion anywhere near my top picks for the year.
