Rating: Summary: The Best Movie ever made! Review: I would consider this the best movie ever made. There is nothing more that can be said that wasn't said already. The DVD video and audio quality are great on this release and the "making-of" and extra trailers make this DVD a bargan.
Rating: Summary: Must I need to tell how great of a movie this is? Review: If you know has to how great of a movie Casablanca is, then why are you reading this review? Get off your computer and watch Casablanca over and over and over again. If you don't own it yet, buy it and watch it over and over and over again! With great acting by Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Heinreid, Claude Rains and especially by Sydney Greenstreet as Sam the piano player and Peter Lorre as Ugarte, Smart humor (Which does not need a graphic sex joke or a guy molesting an animal to get laughs), a fantastic music score by Max Steiner and classic lines ("Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship", "Here's looking at you kid") make Casablanca a true classic of American cinema. If you don't like it, or if you don't want to see it, there is something very wrong with you.
Rating: Summary: Boss, You've Done A Beautiful Thing Review: Bogart portrays one of the grandest attitude adjustments in cinematic history: he's tough, he cries, he kills, he loves, he is just flat out heroic. Ingrid Bergman is stunning, absolutely gorgeous, even her voice is sexy, and Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, all playing classic characters. The Nazi's are slimey and even the most anti-Gallic viewer will get a lump in their throat when the French national anthem drowns at "Deutchland Uber Alles." Try to count how many scenes in this film have become American cultural icons, imitated and parodied now for nearly 60 years.
Rating: Summary: A Classic Movie Review: We all know that Casablanca is a classic romance. However, when you're deciding whether to buy the VHS or DVD version of this masterpiece, definetly buy the DVD. Not only are the picture and sound precise and clear, but the extra features are great. It's so neat to be able to see the original theatrical trailer, and to study the documentary. This is a must have for any movie lover! **oh, if you really want to have fun with this movie, select French with English subtitles. Hearing a Frenchman imitating Peter Lorre's "help me Rick!" scene is hilarious!!
Rating: Summary: The Greatest movie in the world! Review: If you are into old movies you must have this one! Also if you have any other Bogart movies you will enjoy this tape very much. It is totally intense and has some funny lines. I reccomend it!
Rating: Summary: CASABLANCA Review: THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OUT IT WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME.
Rating: Summary: Great, Great Movie Review: Great acting, Great casting, Great plot, Great music, Great scenery, Great lines, Great ending. One may not consider this the greatest movie of all time but we should at least agree that in terms of AFI's picks, this certainly should take #1 over from Citizen Kane. Not that Kane is bad, but Casablanca is better
Rating: Summary: Ingrid Bergman is a hottie! Review: An all time classic love story. Why don't they make movies like this anymore?
Rating: Summary: Rich, complex characters, wonderful dialogue and plot Review: If this isn't perfection then I don't know what would be. Like all great stories, it is the vivid characters you remember. Rick, the cynic with a heart of gold. Ilsa, the sweet,loyal wife with a secret past and a difficult present. Heroic idealists. Charming crooks. Danger (when this was made there was a real chance the Nazis would take over the world). An exotic setting. Romance, oh, yes God, romance of the kind that we all dream about (I would adore being Ilsa in Paris!), but romance elevated, finally, to something even better by selfless nobility in someone you wouldn't suspect capable of it at first. Don't be put off by the age of this film. After you dry your tears at the end, you will feel more hopeful about what human beings are capable of at their best.
Rating: Summary: Love hurts. Review: Bogart is the reason this film is a classic. The screenplay comes second. If you want to watch a film about a man who is so broken up by the loss of the women he loves that he doesn't care if she puts a bullet in his guts, then this film is for you. Forget the war theme, forget everything else. It is a film about a broken heart, and if it wasn't Bogart it wouldn't be a classic. By the way, the extra documentary on the making of the film is a quality piece of work.
