It's sometimes hard to explain but this article from Smashing Magazine sums it up nicely; which I've further summarised below as:
- Click here emphasises mouse interaction (press here is more apt for a touchscreen, press enter here perhaps for a screen-reader?)
- Click means nothing if you're using a screenreader which reads links in isolation.
- Links should tell you about their destination / behaviour - "Click here to download pictures of naked ladies" vs "Download pictures of naked ladies".
- Not using click here can help you simplify your links - "Click here to see Hugh's photos" vs "Hugh's photos"

'Click here' is also really bad for SEO in comparison to using HTML tags more effectively to tell Google what the page you are referring to relates to. A HTML tag relating to the page content is much more valuable in terms of building inbound links such as Leading video production company
