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.

Every single bit as great as everyone says it is and anyone who says it's not is either a liar or flat out wrong. Bogart is absolutely amazing. The script is razor sharp in it's wit. From start to finish this film is sheer drama of the most captivating kind. Essential watch.

One of the most well-known and best-loved classics and it is in many ways a flawless pic. You'll be hard pressed to find anything to dislike about it. It has wonderful moments and great dialogue. Uniformly excellent cast members, best of which is, of course, Bogart.

This film is proof that even when working with a conventional formula you can still make an astounding film if all the elements are strong. It's pretty close to perfect in every way, the highlight being Bogart and the wonderful lines he's given..

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.

One of the most important movies ever made and a definitive tier 10 film. If this doesn't make your tier 10, what will? It's a perfect movie witha few flaws that don't really matter in the end. Great chemistry and a million quotable lines. I wish this movie never ended.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Casablanca is everything what Hollywood should be offering. Brilliant writing, edgy dialogues, unsentimental romance all performed by a couple of amazing actors/actrices and directed with flare and vision to become a masterpiece of entertainment. So to still be enjoyed 60 years after release.

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.

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.

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.

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. It's not only endlessly quotable and iconic, but it also effortlessly deals with so many universal themes (love, war, patriotism, morality) while telling an intimate human story. It's breathlessly paced, intelligent, perfectly acted, rousing, funny, thrilling, romantic and every other superlative that you can come up with. As close to perfection as Hollywood cinema gets.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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. It's amazing how so much story, so much character-depth, so much great politics and emotions fit into so little time. I don't want to join the 'the good film's dead' crowd, but this film helped me comprehend their arguments...

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.

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. [Full Review]

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.

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. The script isn't just snap and wit; there's some pretty deep, branching character development going on here. All of the characters fit perfectly into the puzzle.

I cannot imagine a picture more mesmerising in it's words, more beautiful in its simplicity or more overwhelming for the energy you feel that passes between the characters. Bergman and Bogart are an onscreen couple that have to be seen to be believed, playing out the turbulence of emotion caught within an unemotional world.

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."

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.

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.

Casablanca has been referenced and parodied so much that it almost doesn't warrant viewing: the one liners are so embedded in pop culture that they may as well be carbon dated. Whether it continues to 'speak' to contemporary audiences is debatable, but it would be churlish to deny the craftsmanship on display, or the quality of the screenplay which features an economical narrative, engaging characters and witty dialogue revolving around a club run by the immortal Bogie. The rest is history.

This film feels like a painting. Every shot is beautifully lit, a true film noir. The music is amazing as well, compared to other films from the time which have blaring orchestra's, Casablanca sticks mostly to an ambiance of piano which accompanies the story and relationships in a great way. To finish of Humphrey Bogart is a very suave man.

This movie seems to have been written for Humphry Bogart, even though he is perhaps best known for his tough guy roles (The Maltese Falcone, for example). Something about the flow of the direction of the movie (Michael Curtiz) keeps it moving quickly as three stories emerge: life in wartime Casablanca/Rick's Cafe, the Resistance hero and two old lovers whose paths cross after many years. With a great supporting performance by Claud Raines.

"Casablanca" is the ultimate expression of what could be so great about the Hollywood studio system. That's not to say it's the best film the studios turned out, although it's certainly among the very best, but everything that's great about it is due to the way the studios worked.

I would go as for to say that Casablanca is the best-written film I've ever seen. But to me, this a movie that represents something no longer present in most - if any - films today. It's hard to put a name on what I'm referring to. It's more of a feeling. And Rick's actions in Casablanca remind me of how people can change, how they can rebuild from the ashes and sacrifice all they care about in order to make the world a better place.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect of it going in, having heard little of what the plot really was. That said, I was really impressed with what I saw. This is a clever, comedic, dramatic, romantic, and thoroughly engaging story that moves along quick and never really slows down, with little a dull moment throughout. Good performances, a good script & plenty of Old Hollywood charm make it the classic that it is, and it still holds up surprisingly well over 70 years later. Very worth seeing.

It's a war picture, it's a love story, it's a bit of a musical - and it's a café picture. You have only to think of To Have and Have Not to see how many genres can coexist (like all those refugees) under the roof of a café picture, an uneasy haven close to the battle lines, a place where every supporting actor can have his or her moment. It stands for brave movies in a just war. It may be America's great moment: hard-boiled, soft-centered, and with a dream coinciding with the real.

Anything I could say about this movie would be a gross understatement. It is damn near perfect. The uncertainty of the time period (middle of WWII) parallels the uncertainty of the characters' fates. The dialogue, the plot, the characters, the cinematography and even the music form a harmonious synergy. This deserves its reputation as an iconic masterpiece.

Casablanca is an undeniable masterfully executed dramatic Hollywood romance and stands out as the best of its kind. Personally, I tend not to like overblown Hollywood romances and this is hardly an exception. So even as I admire Casablanca's flawless execution and its cinematic importance, the movie hardly speaks to me on a personal level or even one of thorough enjoyment.

Casablanca is to some the best movie of all-time and I can see why. The story is engaging, the dialouge is enthralling and the acting of Bogart, Rains and Bergman is just fantastic. However time has taken a bit of a toll on it and it feels quite slow up until mid-way through when the real character development kicks in. It has some of the most memorable lines of all-time as evidenced by the fact that most of it can be quoted without one actually having seen the movie. No doubt a classic.

The cynic in me wants to move Casablanca below the top 5 movies I've ever seen, but objectively or subjectively it can' be done. There isn't an element of this movie that isn't done perfectly, and anyone who doesn't call this film magnificent is deluding themselves.

Casablanca, sinema tarihinin klasiklerinden biri ve iki muhteşem oyuncu Humphrey Bogart ve Ingrid Bergman, filmde adeta yaşayarak oynuyorlar. Aynı zamanda Dooley Wilson’ın As Time Goes By şarkısı ile de zihinlere kazınan Casablanca, sinema tarihinin en iyi filmlerinden birisi.

The better part of the movie is pretty standard fare, with Bogart playing the bitter ex of Bergman's somewhat two dimensional heroine. What bails the cliche story out and makes this a cinema classic is the last half hour; which, even though spoiled by how ingrained the movie is in our collective culture, comes out of left field and hits all the right notes.

After everything I've heard, I just had to watch this one and now I realize why it's such a classic. This is storytelling at his best. In se nothing much, but all brought to perfection. A devestating story with some of the most memorable characters in cinematography, but brought with guts, wits and a pacing we haven't got nowadays. Flawless but the ending, which I found a bit disappointing because it was so simple.

Powerful and dramatic performances with a rock solid plot and brilliant characterisation. I can't think of a more complete example of the traditional Hollywood system. If this film doesn't move you then it's official - you're already dead !

Sometimes while watching his movies I wonder about why Bogart is so appealing (talent for banter aside). Then I saw the bit where Rick makes Sam play "As Time Goes By" for him, and he gets this incredible, faraway look as the music goes on. I saw that and I thought damn, this guy was -good-.

Required viewing for all fans of old movies. The Nazis never had a 77mm gun, and it's difficult to imagine Le Gaulle's name carrying any weight with the Vichy French, but why carp?

Mike: Everything it's hyped up to be. Hard to beat.
Sophia: This movie tops every list, and for good reason. We watched this because I had never seen it. With all of the hype I didn't expect to like it, and I had it in my head that it was a light, romantic, pastoral, shakespeare affair. In fact, it was a romantic, wartime, starcrossed piece, that was much more interesting to me. And furthermore, I love Humphrey Bogart.

Watching the classics can be tedious. You can see why they had the impact they did but this doesn't mean you enjoy them. This one is an exception; it's worth watching even if you're not interested in cinema history.

A true classic, everything about this is superb - a great story, a well delivered witty script , iconic lead performances and interesting supporting characters, beautiful cinematography and music. All in under 100 minutes. Not quite a 10 because Bogart and Bergman are a bit emotionally cold for my taste.

"Casablanca" is well-made, has a compelling storyline, an interesting setting, some witty dialogue, fine acting and a satisfactory conclusion. That said, it's immensely overpraised. The love story was not weighty enough to be memorable -in fact, I thought Bogart had more chemistry with Rains than with Bergman and I was rooting for Laszlo to get the girl. The plot is nothing spectacular and some scenes are really corny. I liked the film, but I think it's undeserving of its "classic" status.

The greatest romance film ever, perhaps with Gone With The Wind. Makes makes this film memorable is its nostalgic merit - the characters, story, music and one-liners are firmly embedded in cinematic circles.

Effortlessly watchable. All the good things that have been said about this film are true and I shall not repeat them. Instead I will do what I do best and nitpick, specifically about the magical transit papers. Everyone knew they existed, everyone knew they were stolen and everyone knew they were in Casablanca. Everyone knew someone would try to use them but if you did - welp, I guess that's your ticket out of here! Nothing we can do to stop you despite us knowing exactly where they came from!

A still breathing and thriving example of how well a movie can age when it is beautifully executed. Magnificent performances from Bogart and Bergman and a great sense of pacing that leaves the film moving at a regular clip while still allowing the viewer to soak in its atmosphere and character dynamics all wrap up into a very engaging experience. Anyone who considers themselves a fan of film will enjoy it, it's one of the few films that is pretty much for everyone.

It's good but not aimed at me. I didn't care about the romance so the comedic moments are what made the movie for me. "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" "Your winnings, sir." "Oh, thank you very much." The fake cynic is a man who wears his heart on his sleeve.

Casablanca is a classic for many people who are suckers for romance and heart tearing dialogues. For me this movie is great Humphrey Bogart and entertaining, fast paced script. The War on the background moves it to the next level. Glad the ending did not follow the general trend of the romance genre. That is why it is different, it is sweet.

It's not just because Bogart and Bergman (and the forgotten doodley wilson) protagonized the more classic movie ever, but the way they did that. The whole context fits perfectly in the war times the movie was shot.

Cinema par excellence: a studio-bound Hollywood melodrama which after various chances just fell together impeccably into one of the outstanding entertainment experiences of cinema history, with romance, intrigue, excitement, suspense and humour cunningly deployed by master technicians and a perfect cast.

Casablanca is one of those rare films that everyone loves, but no one can really articulate why. There's no flashy camerawork, no conspicuous sylizings from an auteur director (not to say though that Curtiz wasn't talented, though.) It's just a film where everything seems to come together in a perfect way as to make a film with near unmatched capability for creating immersion. And. I mean, how can you dislike it? This is an example of Classic Hollywood at its best.
