Casablanca is 100% badass from start to finish. It's one of the few "best movie ever" hypees that actually lives up to its hype, IMO.

The la Marseilles scene always gets me. And Bogey is a joy to watch. But I have to agree that the movie is overrated. When I compare it with some of my other favorite movies, it comes out looking like a flat and pious wartime picture. And though I'm no expert, it doesn't seem to me to be very technically sound either. It's good, but all this "greatest story ever told!" and bitches dragging their boyfriends to summer screenings--it's too much. But if you like it, more power to you. Don't listen to me. After all, the opinion of one little person doesn't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.

You could be blind and enjoy Casablanca - the dialogue is amazing.

I'm not huge on Eastwood's movies, but Unforgiven was such a fine move, it can't belong on this list.

Crash is the worst movie to ever win an Oscar, and may actually be one of the worst movies ever made...

Browsing this thread I'm glad to see no one has done the unforgivable and listed The Godfather.

Pretty much any Tyler Perry movie or project, including "Precious: Based on..."

I thought Bogart (what a name!) had much of the dialogue changed because whining about a woman made him look like a pussy. So they added the romantic freedom fighter junk.

It seems like maybe it's faded somewhat, but for a long time up until the late 1990's that movie was everywhere and it seemed like everybody just thought it was so wonderful.

Other than "Mullholland Drive," I second the mention of David Lynch movies.
Miyazaki animes: beautiful, but really overly sentimental and boring. I've TRIED to like them... but just can't.

Ferris Bueller was awesome too. I remember skipping school and watching that at a friend's house.

Mulholland Drive was great, so you've redeemed yourself a little bit.

If Julie Christie didn't make this a stellar experience for you than I must inform you that you must be ghey. And that reminds me, the blu-ray has finally been released! Just waiting on Lawrence now, but I have a bad feeling Sony is goign to make us wait until 2012 just so that they can call it the 50th Anniversary Edition
