I believe that Casablanca is "so great" simply because it has more
"levels" than any other movie around.  Clearly, the movie
plays-in-Peoria.  There is enough romance to keep grandmothers
weeping for another 35 years.  It also has the nifty acting-directing-etc
the keep critics (paid and unpaid) happy.  It also . . .   Need I go
on?  The point is that almost everybody likes something about the movie,
but rarely do any two people like the same thing.  The movie may not be
the best example of any particular facet of movie-making, but is an
excellent example of EVERY facet.
