Top 5 movies of all time...

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2010)

I think you can judge a movie by how many times you watch it...I have watched Casablanca over 50 times! The characters, the location, the music and the story all come together perfectly to form a masterpiece that never grows tiring. This is a movie that definitely grows on you. The first time I watched it I was somewhat confused by the story but after a few more viewings I fell in love with the movie and all the personalities. Rick is a character that exudes leadership and it shows by how much his staff at Rick's respect and love him so very much. They seem so genuine and that feeling of love rubs off on you and suddenly you find yourself loving and respecting Rick as well. It's these types of emotions that make this movie so powerful. The music is another element of the movie that stirs up your emotions from the scene at Rick's where Laszlo is singing of the Marselliase and Yvonne's 'Vive La France!...just so very inspiring. You must see it for yourself...but please don't judge it on the first viewing...give it a few tries on a cold dark night and I promise you will fall in love with this movie.
