How about you?

Manhattan

(1979)
OK, this was work-related: in the book I'm proofreading, the author refers to a character in this film who gives a tour of the city's architecture. Now I know my Woody well enough to have recognized immediately that he's confusing this with Hannah and Her Sisters, but I thought the responsible thing to do, never mind that I've probably seen this close to a dozen times, would be to confirm my recollection that there's no scene here that could be described thus. Recollection confirmed.

And if I were making my list of things that make like worth living, I might well include that moment when "Strike Up the Band" segues into "But Not for Me" as Isaac sees Tracy again, separated by time, space, and glass doors.
