casablanca

This is one of those movies that I watched as a teenager, then had to re-watch in order to get how wonderful it is.


The most remarkable thing is the writing - there is not one scene in this movie that doesn't contain a total zinger. It's smart, a little off, a little poetic, and totally romantic in a real way.

Watch it again if you haven't seen it in a while! Imagine yourself in the clothes, in the cars, drinking the drinks, and having the kind of awesome sexuality it takes to create something like this. Yum.
