Who says great films should last more than 3 hours, just take a look at this little gem right here. Not just an engaging romance story, but a solid war film aswell. The dialogues are quick, funny and smart, the music sets the tone just right and Humphrey Bogart together with Ingrid Bergman contribute vastly to this one of a kind masterpiece. I hope Hollywood can learn from this.

One of the greatest scripts ever written. That's what stands out about this movie to me: the amazingly snappy dialogue and well-written romantic scenes. In fact, this movie might be the most romantic ever made. Bogart is heartbreaking as the weary and cynical bar owner, and Bergman the tragic lever between his and Heinreid's love; she was never more delicate or vulnerable.

It must be because I've seen so many shitty movies recently, but I'd almost forgotten just how great it feels to watch a previously unseen classic and be blown away by a production where everything is close to flawless. So dense, slick, cool, sharp and witty that it left me dizzy. What a wonderful feeling.

Finally got around to seeing this. It's easy to approach films which have attracted universal praise with a degree of scepticism; any such scepticism I had was dispelled within a few minutes. This film is excellent, pretty much flawless. It gets more done in its short running time than most films twice its length could achieve. Beautifully crafted, and incredibly efficient. And the performances are pitch-perfect - Bogart is tremendous. It's romantic, witty, exciting and hugely involving. See it.

If a greater movie was ever made by Hollywood, it must be in very scarce company indeed. Most films are lucky if they spawn one memorable line; Casablanca has a whole page. People even name other films after its lines! We first meet Rick playing chess (Bogie's own idea--he was by far the best chess player in Hollywood, and indeed used to make a living hustling games in his early days in New York when acting jobs were scarce). The screenplay was named best ever by some bigshot panel or other.

The pinnacle of great romance films. Everybody adores Casablanca, and for good reason. First off you got Bogey and Ingrid, both of which play unforgettable characters, especially Bogart as Blaine. Then you got a razor sharp and extremely witty script to back up the characters. The script is something else, I mean before you watch Casablanca, you can still recognize a lot of the lines said in this. It is a great romance, and definitely has one of the, and if not the greatest romance story ever.

Truly perfect. Aside from a perfect story you've got some deep, true art that really make the film the classic it has rightfully become. Bogart may not be the greatest actor to ever grace the screen, but he doesn't need to be. He's perfect, just like everyone, and everything else in the film.

Of all the movies, from all the countries, in all the world, this would be one of them. One in which just so happens to be debated as the greatest movie ever, after you round up the usual suspects of films like "Citizen Kane"(1941), "The Godfather"(1972), and "Gremlins 2: The New Batch"(1990). So I knew that I would have to watch it, or I would regret it...maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of my life I would've been left to wonder exactly what all the hype was about.

There's a reason it hovers near the top of most greatest-movie lists. No one could play sarcastic and bitter with a heart of gold better than Bogie, and Bergman made a rather weakly-written part memorable. The supporting cast (especially Claude Rains) is excellent, and there's something to please everyone - romance, drama, comedy, tragedy, and suspense.

The most fitting Bogart role I've ever seen, I wasn't really impressed by Ingrid Bergman, and could have done with a lot more Claude Rains and Peter Lorre. My main reason for rating this movie so high is not because of how much I liked it (I thought it was decent, but not great) it's because of the sheer lasting power/influence, and the number of quotable lines, that even a ten year old probably knows.

This movie simply has everything - action, mystery, romance, music, Nazis, a terrific script with a sharp sense of humor and one of the best casts ever assembled (I'm especially fond of Claude Rains, who easily gets some of the best lines in the film). Best of all, its one of those rare movies that gets better with each viewing; I've seen Casablanca at least half a dozen times and am still as captivated by it as I was the first time I watched it.

When Ilsa comes into the club for the first time and asks Sam to play the song, Curtiz lingers on Bergman's face. The camera stops moving, the edits stop coming. We are left with a human face. We have hints of painful memories, but that we don't yet know the specifics makes it all the more impacting. That moment is the pinnacle of a film filled with great moments and great performances. Virtually everything works beautifully, and because of that, this film has amazing staying power.

Deservedly famous entertainment is essentially the ultimate movie: weaving a touching romance, delicious comedy and exciting action against a vivid historical back drop. Entire cast is sensational, highlighted by a subtle Bogart, bemusedly venal Rains and gorgeous Bergman. Writing is so acrid (and bitterly cynical at times) that it is hard to pick it as a 40s film, but the undercurrent of genuine romance and human emotion eliminates any nasty after-taste. See it in a theatre if you can!

Earns its reputation and then some. It absolutely has one of the greatest screenplays ever written.

Truly brilliant script. It's unfortunate that it's taken me this long to see it. It's amazing that you have heard some of the classic lines so many times but then when you hear them delivered (mostly by Bogart), there's an entire emotional/cool depth to 'em that make them sound fresh. That's both a compliment to him and the script. Everything else about the movie is great. It's simple on the surface but it tells a classic romance about people in hard, oppressive times. Also, Ingrid is beautiful.

I found the political angle to this film even more moving than the love story that everyone always gushes about. The last shot of the film has Bogart and a local Vichy government puppet walking off into the mist to join the Free France movement. As we see "THE END" come up on the screen, the French national anthem plays. My God! I got chills! Had I seen this is '42 I may have ran right out of the theater and enlisted right away. Viva la France!

The thing that makes Casablanca so special, and a true legend in the history of cinema, is that at its core it's a simple love story. It's about a man and a woman who are in love. And it follows through with that and goes through the tribulations that these two people must face, and the sacrifices they deal with, for the greater good. This emotion is carried so well by the great performances by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Overall, Casablanca is a masterpiece in romance and drama.

Truly a classic in every form of the word. A film noir like no other, mixed with a romance like no other. The chemistry between the three leads is magical, and Casblanca sports one of wittiest scripts I have seen in a long time. Plus for 1942, it's direction is almost unparalleled. It's a classic in every form of the word, and almost perfect.

I never felt truly immersed with Casablanca, but the film really is a testament to a strong script. The setting and perspective (which would have been contemporary at the time of release) are more interesting than the plot itself, though the fast-paced ending was my favourite part. I gravitated towards the more comedic elements, and as such Rains (Capt. Renault) was my MVP. Ultimately, I'm interpreting the ending to be Rick's gamble on a beautiful friendship over an unconvincing romance.

This was surely the most significant film I had just never gotten around to seeing for whatever reason. I had, of course, seen the big scenes, heard the iconic quotes (and misquotes), and known the famous ending and soundtrack, but finally seeing it all in context was a treat. Glad to finally check the box on this classic.

When you're showing a brutal dehumanizing villain machine like the Nazis (and their refugee collateral damage), I'm not sure it makes sense to call Sam "boy" and treat him as a stereotype. Yet, outside of the racial politics, the film is uneven as a work of cinema. Rick's recurring "I stick my neck out for nobody" line is too on the nose. The flashback is forced. And the repetitive song/music theme gets annoying. Still, the dialogue has some jokes, including in that final scene. Recommended.

Bogart gave some pretty wooden line readings, but I'll be damned if he doesn't tear me to shreds. This is peak Bogey. Bergman doesn't play off him as well as Bacall, but she's got another guy in this anyway. So, we got a great day at the office from Humphrey, and what else? Well, lots. We've got the duelling anthem scene, we've got Peter Lorre being all espionagey, we've got nazis and politics and a point-of-view and all of it is plenty easy on the eyes. Overrated, avoid.

Perfection in celluloid form? Definitely one of the best films ever, and the genuine classic, much imitated and revered. Halliwell's guide says of Casablanca, "..after various chances [it] just fell together impeccably into one of the outstanding entertainment experiences of cinema history". For Casablanca virgins cynicism comes easy - how can it live upto all the plaudits? Within minutes all that cynicism totally evaporates and the film demonstrates its masterful technique.

Lives up to its reputation with one of the best scripts ever. Bogart is at his most charismatic, Bergman is almost hopelessly romantic, and together they are tragic.

An American standard, required viewing for any serious fan of cinema, and one film that lives up to the critical hype. One of a handful of American films that are defined largely by individual moments as opposed to an overall narrative or storyline (such as the patriotic singing duel between the Nazis & French patrons of Rick's cafe, Bogart's famous "here's looking at you, kid" line or Bogart & Claude Rains walking into the foggy distance at the end of the film). A ligitimate film masterpiece.

Look, I know it's well done and romantic and a classic. I still hated it. How are we supposed to root for Ilse and Rick's relationship when there is a good, honest man like Victor who will be endangered if they get together? I won't deny it was well done and if the iconic lines hadn't all been spoiled for me, it might have been mildly clever to me. In the end, I was more than underwhelmed by this "classic."

Casablanca isn't a classic, it's the classic. There are precious few films that have ingrained themselves so deeply into our culture that we reference them without knowing we are doing so. Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, the original Star Wars films, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial - and Casablanca. It's a celebration of love, life, and the days of yore in Old Hollywood.

An incredibly tense and well-paced film about the horrors of war wrapped in a tragic love story. I love how almost the entire thing is driven by atmosphere and well-written dialogue; there are only a few amounts of memorable scenes, per se, but an astonishing amount of memorable quotes. Fantastic character development as well, especially with the prime performance that both Humphrey Bogart and Claude Rains put in. Sophisticated propaganda, great manuscript and generally just a true classic.

A near perfect movie. Bogart is incredible as Rick in this war drama set during WWII. There are just so many good things about this film. The use of lighting is spectacular. The plot is as good as anything released today. Ingrid Bergman honestly might be the most beautiful woman in Casablanca. This movie is also really funny at times and really tense at others. It even tackles some really tough subjects during a tough time in history. Just a gem of a movie that will remain a classic.

For once I have to swim with the crowd - Casablanca really is one of the most perfect films I've ever seen. Although I sometimes have troubles relating to older movies this one really got to me.

I don't want to join the 'the good film's dead' crowd, but this film helped me comprehend their arguments...
