"Casablanca" won three Oscars in 1944, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. The American Film Institute voted the film the No. 3 movie of all time, and the best love story, while movie critic Leonard Maltin deemed it "the best Hollywood movie of all time." 

"There are few things more thrilling for movie lovers than being able to experience a true classic like Casablanca the way it was originally intended: on the big screen," said Dennis Adamovich, senior vice president of brand and digital activation for TCM, TNT and TBS, in a statement.

Tickets, and a complete listing of participating theaters, are available at FathomEvents.com.
