My all-time favorite movie!

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 1998)

My first introduction to this movie was when it was purchased as a Christmas gift for me from my brother James, a career marine at the time whose favorite movies include Full Metal Jacket and Evil Dead....needless to say I was surprised when I open the package to see a copy of the old, black-and-white Casablanca, a film I had no interest in seeing. 'Its my favorite movie,' he told me, 'watch it or I'll pound you good.' Well, I delayed for a while but I finally got around to watching it and MAN WAS I SURPRISED! This was by far the best movie I had ever seen! Action, humor, romance...this one REALLY has it all. Since the first time I have seen it, it replaced Star Wars as my all time-favorite film!
