Respectfully disagree, Michael. Among the great films of all time, to be sure. But I believe that - frame for frame - Casablanca is darn near a perfect movie. The Third Man has the better cinematography (did I spell that correctly?) but Casablanca's screenplay in my view is the best ever written. Just no flaws in it.
Casablanca is great and I'd put it in contention with The Third Man. That was one reason why I slipped "Perhaps" into the title of the post. In fact, it's hard for me to think of a film that is close to those two.
