My favorite scene is when Ilsa starts moaning loudly in the middle of Rick's and Captain Renault says, "I'll have what she's having." Absolutely hilarious. 

Little known trivia: Captain Renault was Billy Crystal's mom.

I rewatch this about once a year. One of my all-time favorites. 

I've seen it 3 times already this year between TCM's 31 Days of Oscars and it being on a steady rotation on HBO. It's absolutely timeless.

"What is your nationality?"

"I'm a drunkard."

"That makes Rick a citizen of the world!"

How’d you get in here?  You’re under age.

I came with Captain Renault.

I should have known.

My husband is with me too.

He is?  Well, Captain Renault is getting broad minded.  Sit down, would you like a drink?  Of course not.  Do you mind if I do?

I decided to watch it again now. Couldn't convince my kids to sit and watch it with me.  

How old are your kids? I teach high school and every year I show it to my classes after the AP test. They always moan and groan when it starts, but I tell them to just give it a chance. After it's over, I always get "You were right. That was pretty good."  

"I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue."

Just finished it. I always forget how good Claude Rains is.  He steals every scene.

I'm shocked!

This was the high point of 20th century cinema.  Laszlo, having had enough of Nazi officers singing, tells the band leader, “Pleh eet.  Play La Marseillaise!” Then, when Rick almost imperceptibly gives the nod to the band leader and the house band launches into La Marseillaise, I always lose it. I mean I literally weep uncontrollably.  At “Aux armes, Citoyens!” I’m a basket case. Feels like we are approaching one of those moments today in Les Etats-Unis. Who’s gonna give the nod now? I’ll play the snare.

Without a doubt, the greatest scene in movie history

Yeah, I always loved La Marseillaise. 

Obviously, username fits.
