  I hate it when people say stuff like: "You should watch this because it's a masterpiece!"

  Those people are annoying idiots.

  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 their 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.

  It's strange to think about Casablanca in any way other than saying, "duh, it's Casablanca".

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.
