Casablanca
Casablanca is the story of a little café in 1941(?) Morocco, a country where everyone in is dying to get out and flee to then-neutral America for the promise of safety and opportunity. After their bearers are murdered, two travel visas find their way - somewhat accidentally - into the hands of the café's owner, Rick. And that wouldn't be a problem, except that the former love of Rick's life appears on the scene and suddenly there might be a reason for those visas to be used.
My roommate has been trying to get me to see this movie probably since the week we moved in. Casablanca is a classic, and I understand why. I think it's one of the few films that to me captured the feeling of what it is to be in love, and so in love that you're willing to do things that have no benefit for you because of it. I loved the way the music was intricately woven throughout the storyline, which was far beyond just being a love story, but a tale of murder, corruption, and intrigue on the backdrop of World War II. Not a new favorite, but definitely a good use of an evening.
