An 8.5, really?

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2017)

How the hell does this classic masterpiece only rate an 8.5? One answer is the army of eye raped pseudo cinephiles who prefer the Fast and the Furious movies! Put down the crack pipe and broaden you cinematic horizons! 8.5, my ass! I love TCM and Fathom events and love them even more for bringing movie classics back to the BIG screen on a monthly basis. I saw "Casablanca" today for it's 75th anniversary. A truly awesome cinematic experience. Hollywood during it's early glory days, firing on all cylinders. Bogie and Bergman at their best and in their prime (You can see why they were friggin' stars!). The incredible cast, writing, direction and onslaught of memorable and most quoted lines...All there, where it should be, on the big screen and with an audience I urge anyone who loves movies to start going to these classic screening and see what real movies were all about!!! "Here's looking at you, kid"... This is unarguably a 10!!!
