Casablanca
In days of peace, Casablanca (1942, PG) is loved as one of the best acted-and-scripted love stories ever made. In an unsettled world, it inspires with its stand for freedom and democracy. It is set in an occupied North African city during World War II, where an apolitical American (Humphrey Bogart) runs Rick’s Cafe. Unfazed by his motley crew of customers (partisans, Nazis, desperate refugees, swindlers, and more), Rick’s cool is only shaken when the woman who left him in Paris (a luminous Ingrid Bergman) walks back into his life.
