Here's looking at you kid...
What a film that was, I watched it a couple of days ago and I now know why it so often gets in lists of the best film ever. No film I've ever watched ever had more quotable lines than this one - and even ones attributed "play it again Sam" which were never actually said.
I don't often watch black and white films, and for the first few minutes it was a culture shock, but after a while I grew to see how it worked exactly with the old-fashioned charm of the characters. Characters like Rick were just the right mix of devilishly charming and with just enough virtue so you think he'd do the right thing in the end, and it was obvious why Ilsa was wanted by two men.
The ending, although predictable from my cultural point of view, was perfectly done and the final line remains the best end to a film I've ever seen.
"Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"
