I have seen it 9 times all togeather (5 on screen, 4 on tv); and I like it just as much every time I see it. It is great for all of the reasons that have been mentioned here! That's what makes it such a wonderful movie: EVERYTHING! The characters, the acting, the direction, the plot, the universality, the intrigue....on and on and on. I think that the reason Casablanca stands out from many other pictures is that everyting is very good. One can't put a finger on simply a single aspect of the movie and say, 'This is why it's great!'. One must consider the picture as a whole and realize that it is very well done in every possible aspect. Tom Peschman (uiucdcs!uicsovax!peschman)
