Rating: 10/10 (15 February 1999)

Casablanca is a film I have seen many, many times. I have gone through many separate times of being besotted with the film. A few months ago, I took two of my best friends to see a new print in London - they had never seen it. Conscious of them during the movie, I realized how many lines from Casablanca are almost cliched now; they are so famous. But this does not distract. Casablanca is one of the few films that lives up entirely to its reputation. Perfect.
