Casablanca (1942) - Many critics claim "Casablanca" to be the best film of all time.
It twists all of the drama of life into one epic story. "Casablanca" is the tale of two men fighting for the love of the same woman in wartime. Mixing politics and romance against a backdrop of World War II, this movie will make you think intellectually and it will make you cry. "Casablanca" touches on the themes of love, democracy, totalitarianism, and self sacrifice. One of the best aspects of this wonderful film is that director, Max Steiner wrote it as he directed it, meaning nobody had any idea how the story would turn out. Maybe that is what makes this historical masterpiece so memorable; the fact that the cast wants to know what happens as bad as the audience does. Watch this epic film with satellite TV tonight!
