It was a great film.

30. Spectacular movie (and what I came in to post)!

I still remember the first time we watched it: we were getting dressed to go to a work party, with the TV on in the background, kinda half watching, and we got to Homer's "...well, you see, I've got a girl." Two and a half hours later we were like, uh, were we supposed to be going somewhere?
