There may be better films, but this is the one I love.

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 1999)

Casablanca is the only film I've voted for as a 10 out of 10. I'm not even sure why particularly, as technically there isn't really anything special about it, and if it weren't for a Red Dwarf episode- "Camille" I probably wouldn't have been interested in watching it. Nevertheless, there's something enduring about it that means no matter how many times you watch it, you're still not sure what the characters really want to do, Rick, Ilsa, and Renault are all 'real' characters, with choices that one wouldn't know how to make. The word 'classic' is ridiculously overused, but it was invented for this film.
