Morticia said that nobody minds when old threads are brought back, so I thought I'd make a few quick comments on Casablanca...
Casablanca has some timeless lines, and not merely, "Play it Sam. For old times sake."
Captain Renault: "I'm shocked to find that there is gambling going on in this establishment."
Employee: "Your winnings sir" handing Renault his gambling winnings
Captain Reanult: "Thank you very much. beat Everybody out."
The acting is extremely good for just about all of the actors.
The scene where Victor Lazlo has the band play the Marseilles (spelling?) is extremely powerful.
One interesting note to end on: the plane at the end of the movie was not actually a plane, it was a cutout. Apparantly, because of the war, they couldn't use a real plane... That's why there is so much fog at the airport scene–they didn't want people to get too good a look at the mock plane.
