"Here's looking at you, kid"

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2006)

Casablanca is appealing to me, for only a few reasons, one being the setting. The fact that is takes place in still-unoccupied France gives it a sense of danger, letting the viewer know people are going to Casablanca to get away from the war. The love story is amazing and classic, and this is coming from a guy that doesn't like romantic movies. Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa is beautiful in this movie, and it's not hard to see why Rick fell for her so hard. The music-especially a certain song-you know what I'm talking about-is still a classic. This is possibly Humphrey Bogart's most well-known role, and only a cynic couldn't see why. And the final reason, this movie has some of the most famous quotes in movie history. Just look them up and you'll see what I mean.
It's a shame more people my age can't appreciate great movies like this anymore. This movie has stood the test of time perfectly, and it will continue to do so throughout the years.
