I absolutely love Casablanca. It is so very subtle, and the interaction between the characters are what makes it classic. There was no melodramatic outbursts, merely a tenseness that happens in a triangle situation like like Laszlo , Ilsa and Rick. Also the fact that enemies co-existing in a tense peace on neutral soil is a very interesting concept. My fav is the interactions between Lorre and Bogey, that's classic! "You know, Rick, I have many a friend in Casablanca, but somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust."

It's very well produced, that's for sure, and has action. romance, etc.
The end line by the way is:
"This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship"
Which Rick says to Louie. They dubbed the line in after filming, as it looked funny to have the two guys walk away silently.

Agree! Humphrey B doesn't do "happy" very well though. In the flashback scenes in Paris, he looks like he's passing a kidney stone. That aside, it's in a class of its own. The singing of the French anthem... can that be beat?

It's one of my favorites,too !
My husband and I have "favorite" scenes-
Mine is with the German officers singing a propaganda song (I think)
and then Laszlo tells the band to play the Marseilles (sp). I love that part!
We also know some lines "I am shocked that gambling is going on in this establishment" (or something like that)

I'd go with African Queen, as a better Bogart movie, and Some Like It Hot, as a better black and white one.
ps he never said "play it again Sam"
he said, something like you played it for her, play it for me, PLAY IT!"
I think this is now one of the most misquoted movie lines of all time!

Yes. Gone With The Wind as good.

Agree!!!!!!!!!!!! When those evil tv bastards put in on colorized, I fiddle with the color until its b/w again.
Side note to Taff: I'm sure everyone knows this anyway, but Rick NEVER said "Play it again, Sam." What he did say was.
"If she can stand it, so can I. Play it."
