“We’ll always have Paris” – Rick Blaine
If there was a vote taken to choose only one film from the 20th century to preserve for future generations to experience, my guess is that Casablanca (1942) would be that film. It is so iconic, so memorable, so enjoyable to watch, that it’s no wonder that it is one of the most popular entertainments ever made. The film has been copied and parodied so often that people know of it without ever seeing it. The story of Rick, Ilsa, Victor Laszlo, and their love triangle is one of the most famous stories ever seen on screen; it is a representation of all that is great with the movies.
