No, 'The Maltese Falcon' or 'The Big Sleep.'

Sentimental attachment to Casablanca aside (and I for one prefer Ingrid Bergman to Lauren Bacall any day), I agree that Bogart acts rather better in The Big Sleep.

It's how I survived 22 years in the army  :D

he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Even 22 years in the army do not prepare a man for the Wrath of Christo.

Why he'd want to kill a one-fingered man, I'll never know.

Groucho's Nurse: I'm afraid I'll wind up an old maid.

Groucho at 70-plus: Well, bring her in, and we'll wind her up together.

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.

Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

What a tough choice.  I could come up with a list of 100 pretty quickly, so I deliberately chose six from different decades.  (Alas, no Mulholland Drive, but it's nice to see it getting so much love.)

La Grande Illusion (Renoir, 1937)
The Third Man (Reed, 1949)
The Importance of Being Earnest (Asquith, 1952)
Chinatown (Polanski, 1974)
Blade Runner (R. Scott, 1982)
The Silence of the Lambs (Demme, 1991)
