We'll always have Casablanca

I laughed out loud when a younger co-worker told me he had never seen Casablanca - "I don't like black and white movies" was his reason. Instead of mocking him, I felt pity - as if a person had said he had never tasted chocolate ice cream. Yes, Casablance is that good a movie. The cast, cinematography, plot, script and acting are as close to perfect as you could imagine. Bogart's stunning portrayal of a bitter, cynical man with a broken heart should have won him an Oscar. When he describes his politics to a visiting Nazi honcho with the phrase, "I'm a drunkard..." it is both comedy and tragedy.

To me, the mark of a memorable movie is if there are memorable, quotable lines and here, Casablanca leads the league. "I'm shocked, shocked! that there's gambling going on here." - "We'll always have Paris." - "Here's looking at you kid," - and the phrase Bogart never said "Play it again Sam." Actually, he said, "You played it for her you can play it for me. If she can stand it, I can. Play it!" This is probably the most popular movie in the world and I agree. You need this DVD - find someone you love, cuddle on the sofa and let time go by.

Proof that there is a higher power can be traced to the fact that B-movie icon, Ronald Ray-Gun was offered the part and turned it down. "Who wants to play opposite an unknown Swedish actress?" was his reason. The world ows a debt of gratitude to the best decision that man ever made !

Paris should be so lucky!

A film for all time! Its got Bogey, a hot girlfriend and Nazi's trying to make their day. Plus you got some great music and wonderful lines like "I stick my neck out for no man!". If you need more you are either brain dead or have no soul. Anyone who loves film should realy think about getting this DVD for their collection.

If you see only one black & white movie your whole life...

...well, then frankly, that's a real tragedy. But if you do, then THIS IS IT!

This is still my favorite black & white classic film of all time (followed very, very closely by CITIZEN KANE. Hey, I had to chose one, right?)!
This film is the whole reason I got a DVD player in the first place. Nothing looks as beautiful and as crisp as classic b&w cinema. This was the first DVD I ever bought!
Like a Honda automobile, this film speaks for itself, so I won't waste time with a rehash of every praised word that could be said. Let me say only that when the AFI recently did their list of the top 100 greatest movie lines of all time, CASABLANCA was chosen the most (6 times).

Here's lookin' at you!
