Does anybody else feel this way?
IMO, "liking" as in entertainment-wise shouldn't come into play. Casablanca is an excellent, complex story of love and putting other affairs before it, which wasn't common in average romance movies. There's nothing negative I can say about it.
About Schmidt can be very boring at times, very little of it is made to entertain, and its one of the best films of the last half decade.
I can fully see how people can think it is one of the best ever, and I rate it among that list too. I don't have my top ten worked out, but I know it would have to be in my top 20.
