16. Casablanca (1942)



Casablanca (1942)
Logline: Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), owner of a popular nightclub in Africa, happens upon a former lover, Ilsa, and her Czech husband (who’s wanted by Nazis). Forced to choose between love and virtue, Rick decides to help them by rebelling against Vichy/Nazi forces, while secretly planning to run away with Ilsa.  
Memorable Moments: For all of you that love a good, passionate on-screen kiss, the final scene—when Rick and Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) cement their love for one another and lock lips—is very much your cup of tea.
Why People Love It: It’s literally impossible to reminisce about classic films of the 1940s/’50s-era without so much as a mention of Casablanca—a timeless, enduring symbol of Hollywood-style romance.
Best Quote:  Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart): “Here’s looking at you, kid.” & Rick Blaine: “Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.”
