As Time Goes By

Casablanca
1943 Best Picture

100 Words
You must remember this: A kiss is just a kiss. A war is just a war, against the world and against oneself. Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, 90% of the cast of The Maltese Falcon (including Peter Lorre), and the suspense of dealing with the racist nonsense of a pile of Nazis compound into a compelling love story that might be one of the most quoted Best Pictures of all time. Face it, this film has everything. This one is a classic that proves by far that the best things in life hold up time after time, as time goes by.

    The specialness of this film to me is damn-near unrivaled! I’ve seen 5 of the 10 nominees for Best Pic from 1943; I know this will be my fav, but I’ll read the rest of your posts (and check your pic) first.
