Casablanca (1942)

I do not know how many times I have seen this iconic film, probably over 10 times. Nonetheless, I enjoy it more each time I see it. The acting is superb, the story is classic, and the videography is perfect. Looking at Ingred Berman, Ilsa, I am struck by her absolute beauty which requires no augmentation to her body. Being a quote person, here are some of my favorites:

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.

Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Round up the usual suspects.

Play it, Sam. Play As Time Goes By.

We'll always have Paris. We didn't have it before...we'd...we'd lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.

And you never will. But I've got a job to do too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Here's looking at you, kid.
