Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

When Harry Met Sally... (1989)

This was probably the 5th time I've seen this near-perfect film. I love the bumper scenes with the long-term couples recounting how they met, the general banter, the soundtrack, oh -- just everything.

My first birthday after we were married in 1990, Gary bought me the soundtrack on cassette tape and loaded it into my Celica's tape deck so that, when I started my car, I heard the sweep of the big band leading into Harry Connick Jr.'s vocals of "It Had to Be You." Almost 30 years later, that is still a lovely memory. This movie is the same way -- I know what's coming and I'm in happy anticipation every moment.
