Didn't care two hoots for this flick. The only performance I enjoyed was Claude Rains as Renault.

This was my second time seeing this film, and I have enjoyed it at least as much: the romance becomes less of a focus though, as the subplots and secondary characters become more of a nuanced revelation. It is a beautiful film, and a Hollywood companion to A Brief Encounter, in that both are delicate war-time pieces about unfulfilled relationship. An absence of a happy ending can still be light and satisfying.

The dialogue is superb, the acting is delightful. The sets bring to mind Indiana Jones and Poirot, rather than reality, but an authenticity is achieved through the plethora of languages and destinies thrown together in Casablanca. I think there are at least five different languages spoken throughout the film.

If Bogart in Big Sleep was a curious case for the attractive male lead, in Casablanca he is positively magnetic. Some of the acting does feel outdated and overdramatic, but the main turns and twists of the picture remain understated, balancing that.

I would like to see more of Ingrid Bergman and to find out who's responsible for that script. I feel like that could be a beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Been told time and time again that this is the greatest romance film of all time. I'm not sure about that, but I did enjoy it.

A classic maybe, enjoyable it most certainly was, yet I can't say I was as overwhelmed as this films prominence would have you expect.

I was slightly disappointed in Casablanca. I guess it's because I had high expectations before seeing it, but it didn't leave me feeling impressed. The romance between Ilsa and Rick wasn't exciting or interesting to me at all. I did appreciate the film though, and I'm probably going to watch it again.

I was really skeptic of this movie because of it's age, and it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable movies I've ever seen. Great cast, great acting, great humour, great dialogues, great plot... I can't say nothing but positive things about this movie.
