002 Casablanca (1942)

Casablanca is a night club in Europe run by a cynical American who can't bring himself to care enough about the political situation to do the right thing until the love of his life walks through his door. She's in trouble, and she needs his help to get out of the country. She was in love with someone new, but he was true to his love for her, and he helped her and her new love, and he lost everything in the process. It's a wonderful love-conquers-all story. In the end the Bogart character is completely transformed from an amoral war profiteer to one of the good guys. I only wish I had seen this movie when I was younger (12-13), before I had heard all the best lines quoted and misquoted out of context. I should buy a copy of this film and put on an annual schedule
