I first saw Casablanca when I was 12 years old. It's not my favorite but it'll always be the best I've ever seen. Nothing can match it, or even dare to try. It's Humphrey Bogart, and Ingrid Bergman at their best. The story is classic, and real. I've never been so enthralled by a single line, time after time in a movie.
"Play it again, Sam."
"Here's lookin' at you, kid."
Again and again, the film stamps inside of your mind the purpose and the meaning of a movie so great as this.
I couldn't tell you my thoughts when I first watched it, but I knew it was something special. That was reaffirmed time after time I watched it. Not even The Godfather can match it in stature, or importance in my own mind.
Now, that's sayin' something.
