As good a motion picture as has ever been made. Perfect cast, great script, beautiful and atmospheric black-and-white photographer. Watch for the use of shadows. If you don't love this, have your heart examined.

A major influence on the next decades of movie making. Impossible to deny how important it is. I wasn't impressed with Rick. Bogey's better as a private eye.

Sorry, extremely high expectations lead to feelings of "overrated" and "overhyped". I don't fault this for its age or the cast; my favorites are Citizen Kane, 3rd Man, and Maltese Falcon.

The beautifully edited, marvelously scripted, wittily acted film is always enjoyable to hear and see. There are many different reasons for this, but one is its feeling of oasis and respite. The war is very much a part of the plot, but it…
As good as it always is every year. We know so many of the lines we can say them word perfect,! Don’t miss the bonus material narrated by Pia Lindstrom.

A hallmark of what great cinema should be. Bogart is fantastic as the stoic anti-hero, but Claude Rains steals the show in any scene he's in. Show it to the youth of today to give them a slice of true story-telling without non-stop…
In evaluating this movie, one has to place ones' opinion back into the time period the movie was produced. I saw the original. Compared to the musicals and comedies of that era, this noir film was different and shocking. Most drama movies…

A monumental American classic! Its so deeply entrenched in cinema that its familiarity and later references (including from the comedic classic "Play It Again Sam") means that it has at many points become clichéd, through no fault of its…

VERY GOOD 1943 bit of film noir - with Humphrey Bogart doing his thing (including his almost stereotypical 'dark n' low' vocal timbre). Interesting West African setting, also when political differences descended on the various flavors of…

75th anniversary of the "best movie ever made". I always thought it was a bit corny and still do, but we watched it again anyway. Maybe because there are so many famous one liners that it has become a cliche. Ingrid Bergman is very…

Casablanca is pretty much a perfect movie. Action, romance, comedy, gambling, violence, betrayal, lust, tough guys, handsome heroes, beautiful women, Nazi goons, weirdos, freaks, sleazebags, amazing music, and never a dull moment. What…
