Play it again... and again, and again

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2001)

How do you begin to review a film generally considered to be the best Hollywood picture ever made? Casablanca may be the ultimate movie crowd-pleaser. It has everything you could ever want in a movie; love, war, intrigue, an exotic location, and fantastic performances. It's only after you see this movie for about the fifteenth or sixteenth time that you can truly appreciate its perfection. Take note of its sheer flawlessness.

Bogart and Bergman are undoubtedly the screen's greatest couple. They appeal to anyone who has ever lost love or ideals, and show us how to get them back again. They pull the audience into their world, and indeed, we'll always have Paris too.
And aside from all this, Casablanca is a great entertainment. It's smart, funny, and heart-wrenching. It's one of those rare movies that everyone knows all about, whether they've seen it or not. Casablanca is a timeless classic to be viewed over and over.
