Casablanca
19Dec2005 [movies]
All I can say is: the is the first 'classic' I've _ever_ seen that I've actually enjoyed. Entertaining, and well made. Though I had to cringe every time they dropped another oft-quoted line.
On top of all the classic quotes, was some interesting dialogue in there about the war - around the whole question of whether or not one should get involved. Also really liked the way they put together a bar full of outcasts.
Wow. I'm surprised, really. Am glad though, as I can't keep disagreeing with people's estimation of 'classic'.
