Casablanca (1942)
When people say they love old movies, this is likely the old movie they’re picturing. It’s perfect from beginning to end.
Ingrid Bergman, who also appears later on this list, is captivating as Ilsa Lund, a woman torn between love and her duty to fight fascism. Humphrey Bogart, as her ex-lover Rick, is as good a male lead as any movie had ever had.
But Casablanca is a movie where every single person is giving it their all, from director Michael Kurtiz to writers Howard Koch and Julius and Philip Epstein.
Everyone has their favorite moment, but ours is “I’m shocked, shocked” which we think about every time we read the latest headlines.
