Quote 425 of 495

It's as if I asked you, 'What kind of movies do you like?' Tell me two
or three good movies.' And you say, 'I like movies with good acting. I
like movies with good directing. I like movies with good
cinematography.' And I ask you, 'No, give me an example of a good
movie.' You don't name one. I say, 'Give me an example of a bad
movie.' You won't name one. Then I ask you if you like Casablanca, and
you respond by saying, 'Lots of people like Casablanca.' You tell me
it's widely settled that Casablanca is one of the great movies.
