A truly perfect movie, the 1942 Casablanca still wows viewers today, and for good reason. Its unique story of a love triangle set against terribly high stakes in the war against a monster is sophisticated instead of outlandish, intriguing instead of garish. Humphrey Bogart plays the allegedly apolitical club owner in unoccupied French territory that is nevertheless crawling with Nazis; Ingrid Bergman is the lover who mysteriously deserted him in Paris; and Paul Heinreid is her heroic, slightly bewildered husband. Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Conrad Veidt are among what may be the best supporting cast in the history of Hollywood films. This is certainly among the most spirited and ennobling movies ever made. --Tom Keogh
 Customer Reviews 
It's certainly the classic!
Rating: 5
What can one say? This is the ultimate movie ever made and it does get better with each viewing. Watching it four or five times a year always evokes a freshness in me to the plot and the character development is always remarkable. I never tire of it.
Even as I think of it now, I want to watch it. You truly cannot say that about many films that have ever been made. To think that this movie was never really intended to be a classic, yet has become one is in itself remarkable. Casablanca has intrigue, sublime action and a sensual quality between the characters that all come together and make it my favorite movie.

Timeless movie filmed in appropriate black and white. (Avoid the artficially colorized version like the plague). Again,incredibly, I've talked to many who have never seen this film! Am I the only person who's noticed that Bogart and Rains are walking the wrong way in the final scene? Or is this just a form of "poetic license" given to producers and directors? OBVIOUS MISTAKE IN ADVERTISEMENT-INGRID BERGMAN,NOT LAUREN BECALL SHOULD BE LISTED!
Excellent
