One of the American Film Institute’s most celebrated films, CASABLANCA (1942) first appeared at #2 on the original list of America’s greatest movies, remaining within the top three for the 10th anniversary edition a decade later. Apropos for Valentine’s Day, it’s also ranked #1 among cinema’s love stories – and was included among the art form’s greatest triumphs and thrills, with six quotes named by AFI as the most memorable of all time. Dooley Wilson’s iconic performance of “As Time Goes By” was included among the art form’s greatest songs, and Humphrey Bogart’s character Rick Blaine was ranked #4 on AFI’s list of the greatest screen heroes – with Bogart himself named the #1 screen legend of all time on AFI’s 100 YEARS…100 STARS.
