How great can a movie get?

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2000)

Maltin sure knew what he was talking about when he said that everything was right with this movie. This must be THE classic in movie making. It doesn't matter how high 'The Godfather' climbs on the film-lists all over the world, how shocking 'Psycho' is, or how many fans 'Star Wars' might have. CASABLANCA will still be the one movie for movielovers. I'm not saying that it's better than all these, but it is the most memorable movie.
Let's go through all the factories:
First of all: The scene. You soon get the feeling that Rick's bar is your new favorite place, your second home even if it's just a movie. The score follows the movies perfectly.
Acting is obvious. Who'll ever forget Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in the leading roles? Paul Henreid, Claude Rains and Conrad Veidt also very good, and memorable in the side-roles. You don't want this movie to end, but what an ending it is! I really hope everyone can agree that the finale is at least one of the three best scenes ever (''Here's lookin' at you, kid'').
Dooley Wilson does ''As time goes by'' as noone else. See this movie more than once, and then... Play it again, Sam!
Don't miss for the world!: 10/10
