Saturday at 10 a.m., join host Lynne Warfel for classical music from the movies. Today's theme is music from all-time great movies (according to the American Film Institute).

Titles include such classics as Casablanca, Bridge on the River Kwai, To Kill a Mockingbird and The Great Escape; composers include Bernard Herrmann, Erich Korngold, John Williams and Max Steiner.

Meanwhile, MPR's Cube Critics have a look at some films that may not make the all-time greats list. See if you agree:
