One of the most beloved American films, this captivating wartime adventure of romance and intrigue from director Michael Curtiz defies standard categorization. Simply put, it is the story of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a world-weary ex-freedom fighter who runs a nightclub in Casablanca during the early part of WWII. Despite pressure from the local authorities, notably the crafty Capt. Renault (Claude Rains), Rick's cafĂ (C) has become a haven for refugees looking to purchase illicit letters

Nothing short of an invasion could add much to Casablanca.
Top CriticFilm should be a solid moneymaker everywhere.
Part of what makes this wartime Hollywood drama (1942) about love and political commitment so fondly remembered is its evocation of a time when the sentiment of this country about certain things appeared to be unified.
Across seven decades, the Humphrey Bogart-Ingrid Bergman starrer has emerged as Americans' default favorite movie.
Yes, indeed, the Warners here have a picture which makes the spine tingle and the heart take a leap.
The greatest pleasure anyone can derive from this movie comes through simply watching it.
Every kid should see this Bogart classic.
Although it was made in 1942, "Casablanca" is still the greatest romantic drama ever made.
This is it. The best movie ever made.
This handsomely packaged three-disc DVD box set is jam-packed with extras, meant to please fans and cinema history buffs alike.
The movie has a peculiar magic to it, and it's in the richness of its details that mostly go unnoticed because of the film's pace.
What more can a person say about a movie that defines the word classic? (Blu-ray Ultimate Collector's Edition)
It is the product of numerous accidents, all of them happy, and I laugh, cry and have my better instincts appealed to whenever I see it.
It is one of the most timeless of all movies in terms of topic, emotion, acting and motivation.
There's a reason the world loves this wartime film, now digitally restored: more memorable dialogue than should be strictly legal, heartbreaking performances from the two leads and a plot that works with Swiss-watch precision.
Irresistible, big-hearted film-making.
Rightly one of the most popular - if not the most popular - films of all time.
As time goes by, the appeal of Casablanca shows no sign of diminishing.
One of those rare films where every shot and every quotable line of dialogue counts, there's not a dead patch in Casablanca.
It is a true timeless classic and will stay so as long as time goes by.
A joy to watch over and over, this one has everything going for it.

One of the most perfect movies ever made. Everything from the story, the pacing, the dialogue and the casting are flawless. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman are phenomenal. A must see for any movie fan in general.
