Casablanca (1942)‚ directed by Michael Curtiz‚ is a perennial favorite‚ depicting unique Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman characters caught in situations out of their control.

One of the first major differences between the films is the amount of close-ups that are involved in The Matrix and Metropolis.
