I know this has been mentioned in several different ways around here.
My office is closed today (large convention this weekend, so we get Monday off). I found "The Bishop's Wife" playing on TCM and decided I needed to watch it again. It's one of my favorites, and it reminds me that there's something so gratifying about the simple art of storytelling. There's no CG. There are no slow-mo explosions (I'm lookin' at you, Michael Bay). It's all cuts and dissolves, contrasty lighting/exposure, and a really good story. Plus the casting is supreme.
By the way, if you haven't seen "The Bishop's Wife" (1947), put it at the top of your Netflix list.
