Casablanca (1942)

Here is another golden oldie - considered by many as one of the greatest films of all time, the iconic Casablanca.

The film features Rick (played by Humphrey Boghart), who plays a slick and unscrupulous American ex-pat that runs a night club in Casablanca during World War II. Through a series of flash backs the audience comes to know his long lost love, played by Ingrid Bergman. The two split inexplicably after a short stint together in Paris. Years later, Rick leads an emotionless life after his heart break. Finally one day, by chance, Bergman's character walks into Rick's bar and upends his life. To further complicate matters, she is married to a prominent player in the resistance against the Nazi occupation of France. Oh yeah, and there are a few other delightfully corrupt characters to mix up the pot. Political and romantic tensions combine to make a really great drama.

I am a big fan. This movie has everything - romance, drama, backstabbing, politics, great music, and even a little comedy here and there. If you haven't seen this movie, I accuse you of not being a true fan of the silver screen.

At the risk of giving away the end of the movie, I am giving a clip from the final scene, which is easily the most iconic and memorable. If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch the clip below - although, it is so famous, you have probably already seen it.
