I go with Citizen Kane, but Casablanca is easily in the top 5.
CB lacks the "grey issues" that are confronted in CK. It's basically a good vs. evil film. The characters in CB are easily defined as perfectly likeable/dislikeable. I don't mean to minimize the greatness of the film, I just think the complexity of CK puts it slightly on top of CB.
Some of my other favorites: Rear Window, Harvey, A Christmas Story (Ralphie!), Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Seven
