- Cinema par excellence: a studio-bound Hollywood melodrama which after various chances just fell together impeccably into one of the outstanding entertainment experiences of cinema history, with romance, intrigue, excitement, suspense and humour cun

  This is perhaps the best film ever made, certainly in the Top 20. That says it all...
  
  There must surely be no doubt that this is one of the elite handful of best films ever made.

  Simply the best.
  
  This is one of the only films that deserves a higher rating that 5 stars. There should be a 'masterpiece' rating, and this film would get it.

  Keeps on giving
  
  There are alot of 'classics' which really have not aged well. Be it the script, subject matter or characters, Cassablanca however is different.
