I find that with many "classic" films, I have a hard time relating. The dialogue and in some cases, the central message of the movie seem so dated that I can't really get into it. There are exceptions of course, but I do find myself underwhelmed by a lot of the "classics". My mother enjoys a lot of the romantic comedies of the 50's and 60's....like ones with Doris Day. Those are just so out there, they're not the least bit funny to me, except for maybe some sight gags.

I will say this, Casablanca is a well crafted film, and the leads had some great chemistry. It probably deserves all the praise it gets.
