Neither, though at least I did enjoy Casablanca a bit.
I can think of dozens and dozens of black and white films which I'd rather be watching...and yes, all of them were released before 1970.

you define these films by the fact they are black and white, you should desist from commenting ever again
shareI'm not smart enough to grasp anything else. To me, a film is either black & white or it's in color.
I'm still working hard at trying to understand the Mickey Mouse episodes. Those are more up my alley, but I find them to be quite complex a times. Perhaps the Road Runner episodes are in order here, or maybe some episodes of The Friendly Giant.
I'm still hoping that someone will explain to me how the giant in The Friendly Giant fit into that tiny castle.

Citizen kane for sure.
shareCasablanca is my favorite movie of all time, so obviously I'd choose that, but Citizen Kane is amazing in its own right (although it's not even my favorite Welles/Cotten collaboration).
shareKane. Though Casablanca is a perfect film too.
shareA+ the both of them... Casablanca is my #2 all time, Kane my #3. Pretty much sums it up for me.

funny story, a few years ago I was on vacation and actually found both of them on VHS at a thrift store. I still haven't watched Citizen Kane (I remember trying to on an especially rainy day and fell straight to sleep, but that could have happened with any movie), but I finally got around to watching Casablanca last year and I'm still not over it. What a film.
shareDefinitely Citizen Kane.
