Greatest film ever

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2002)

This could possibly be the most perfect film I have ever seen. 'though I can't imagine how, I understand that not everyone will think as highly of it as I do, but I felt that everything came together so perfectly.
What did it for me is the realization that, even though there are so many famous lines from this flick as to be cliche, not once did I feel like any of them were contrived (like perhaps some Arnold Schwarzenegger films may be wont to do) or out of place.
I believed that Rick's Cafe Americain existed. I believed Rick and Ilse and Victor were caught in a terrible love triangle. I believed that Victor could understand and forgive his wife's transgressions, and I believed that, despite his protestations to the contrary, Rick Blaine was good at being noble.
Goodness, how I loved this movie!
