"Oh God, I Loved That Movie!"

As Jamie reported a little while ago, we lost Nora Ephron today, which is just a huge loss. She had an amazing ability to make a 'chick flick' never seem like...well, a chick flick.
Except when actually having a character describe a chick flick, as Rita Wilson did so hilariously in Ephron's Sleepless in Seattle, when she was trying (and failing) to explain the ending to 1957's An Affair to Remember without bursting into tears:
Just wanted to add a tribute as well, since I don't know anyone who can talk about a tearjerker ending without referencing this scene. Between that, and watching Tom Hanks trying to get Rob Reiner to tell him what tiramisu is, I'll always love this movie.
