Picking a favorite all-time movie is difficult. For me, when I consider acting, screenplay, and all the major elements of film I have to go with Casablanca. It has great characters, brilliant acting, one of the best screenplays, and of course, "As Time Goes By" which I can never listen to without thinking of this wonderful movie. What I also love about this movie is the stellar supporting cast. It wasn't just a showcase for Bogart and Bergman, but also had Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, and Claude Rains (who almost steals the movie). On top of it all, this movie has characters who are complex and in the end do things for the greater good. I cannot imagine the movie ending the way it did back in 1942. It does not have a cliched "happy ending." In that respect, Michael Cutiz's 1942 movie remains near and dear to my heart. So, what about you? I'm anxious to hear from all of you out in the blogosphere!
