I hate it when people say stuff like: "You should watch this because it's a masterpiece!"
Those people are annoying idiots.
Also:
You should watch this because it's a masterpiece!
"Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine."
i got to see humphrey bogart say "we'll always have paris" on the big screen and i need to be carried out of this theater in a stretcher
i like how i slowly went from "hmmm... this will probably be overhyped" to "lovely movie but i'm not feeling it" to "that's there song and sam is playing it... again" to "wow, imagine watching this in 1942 when you didn't even know if the Allies would prevail against the Nazis and here they are singing in a bar with fear and courage on their faces" to "WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE PARISSSS" as i fling myself on the couch.
Nobody fucking told me that THAT was what Casablanca was about. It's midnight and I'm sobbing like a fool. God. Some things are just too beautiful.
the two main men in this movie look exactly the same. she didn’t really have to choose, could’ve just picked either one and used her imagination a bit
Three times. Three separate times I have tried to watch this, falling asleep each time and never being able to finish it. Not sure if I should blame the movie or my horrible sleep schedule, but it took way longer to watch this than it should’ve. Anyways, yeah it’s fine but not my type of thing.

It's strange to think about Casablanca in any way other than saying, "duh, it's Casablanca". Often films accumulate such an impact on popular culture, and find such success in scholarship and academia, that talking about them as 'movies' is weird! Possibly to the point of feeling reductive. But yes, Casablanca continues to be one of the best, no matter its enormous popularity and influence. It's a ravishing studio-backlot wartime romance that practically leaps off the screen with the help of Bogart's existential pain rendered physical and Bergman's angelic close-ups. If this movie were made today, it would be a plodding 2 hours and twenty minutes of clumsy set-up and obvious screenwriting. As it stands, Casablanca has the energy of…
sometimes with classic films my expectations are unreasonably high and i end up disappointed, but casablanca lives up to its reputation and then some.
"here's looking at you, kid."
