9/10 Only thing that bugged me was I didnt buy the romance between 2. Shes like 25 and hes 40+? Maybe it was common back in those days. IRL Bogart was 43 and Bergman was 27 but she seemed older than that and until you mentioned it, I never even noticed the "age difference". In some movies the girl seems way off in age for the love interest (See Love in the Afternoon .. Gary Cooper / Audrey Hepburn.) Also IN REAL LIFE Bogart and Bacall had a 25 year age difference and that seemed just fine too.

This scene says a lot of why it's a 10/10 And how 'bout that scene where the ham goes flying out of the oven? Oh wait... I'm thinking of the wrong movie again.

6/10. I give it 6 for its technical achievements and slick (and hokey) manipulative elements as a war propaganda film. Having watched it again recently it is unquestionably a movie about a man rekindling his love affair with anti-fascist mercenary work--Ilsa is the inspiration for that, but not the cause of his lapse--he had already abandoned it when he met her--it was Victor who makes him get inspired to join the fight again after losing in Spain. Renault is more intriguing because he is motivated by self-interest not politics. In joining Rick at the end it seems less a patriotic act on his part, but more about loyalty to Rick and going with the flow of the moment.

an IMDb "user review" by sandwiches … rather well known for his spoof it rocks or it's rubbish reviews Casablanca (1942) This movie SUCKED 6 August 2007 I wish I could give no stars to this film as it was so rubbish. It was so boring I thought I was going to cry. The film is about a man who runs a cafe in Casablanca (where the film gets its title), but instead of hot drinks his cafe serves actual alcoholic drinks, as demonstrated in several scenes where people act drunk after drinking them (either from a glass or the bottle). He meets a woman but instead of falling in love with her husband he falls in love with her and they make plan to escape together and go to America. That's it. That's what the whole film is about. I told you it was boring. The actors look miserable except the piano player who is the man's friend who looks happy. It's also pretty bad to be filmed in black and white at a time when colour was invented already which just made it more boring.

Very good film, one I've been meaning to watch for a long time, I think three of the cast were also in The Maltese Falcon, good pacing and the performances all fine.
8/10

I gotta be honest... I turned it off @ 47 minutes due to boredom and boring is pretty much the worst crime a movie can commit.
2/10 (boring)

One of those established classics that lives up to its lofty reputation. Pure joy which does not get old- few films are as rewatchable as Casablanca. Strong contender for greatest and most iconic cast ever assembled in Hollywood. 10/10

I think it is still the most wonderful film I've ever seen.

Ingrid Bergman was one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the silver screen. I could watch 1 hour and 42 minutes just of her doing nothing.
The film does have its contrivances. The Bogie line "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." Um, you're in Casablanca, which from the opening voiceover we all know is one of the very few places people can flee from Europe. Plus, your nightclub is a prime meeting point for people trying to buy exit visas. Jeez!
Also, while Bogart/Rick is extremely charismatic, he's got ZERO sex appeal. Yet we're supposed to believe that he's the kind of man that all the women fall for, and Ilsa is head over heels for him, despite being married to another man.
And the Nazis in this flick are nowhere near as monstrous as they actually were in real life—or as they have been depicted in generations of films produced since Casablanca and the end of the war. Granted, the wider American public did not know about the full extent of the atrocities at the death camps in early 1942, when the film was being planned (or in 1940, when the original play was written); but anyone watching this film who did not already know a fair amount about the Nazis and the Gestapo might have a hard time understanding why they were so hated and feared, because all the violence is implied. (There are only two violent acts in the whole film, as I recall—one where Ugarte fires a gun as he tries to escape from being arrested and the other when the Nazi officer draws a gun on Rick.)
Finally, that scene where Ilsa refers to Sam, the piano player, as a "boy" grates.
10/10 for cinematography and lighting 10/10 for directing 9/10 for acting
overall 9.5/10
