I know that I won't be saying anything original here, but I have just watched Casablanca for the first time in a few years and I continue to be impressed by it. Not only is it not an exaggeration to call it the greatest movie in Hollywood history, it deserves revisiting--if for no other reason than to inventory the number of times dialogue, sets, plot, and characters have been "borrowed" in other movies over the last fifty years or so. Definitely deserves all the praise.

Twin Falls Idaho
(1999)
intelligent, delicately wrought film
7 February 2000
I admit that the gentle pace of this film may not be for everyone, but I think it is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. The acting was solid throughout with wonderful performances by the Polish brothers and a luminous Michele Hicks, but even more striking to my mind was the intelligence and thoughtfulness of the script, the evocation of grief and loneliness and the candor of the film's portrayal of at least a portion of the conjoined twin's experiences. It is a striking and original portrayal of both intimacy and isolation.
