The big one for me was The Shop Around the Corner from 1940. For some weird reason I'd barely ever heard of it, even though I've since learned that it's quite famous. Every scene was so damn delightful.

I've always admired Jimmy Stewart, but I'd never seen Margaret Sullavan before and she was a revelation. The two had excellent chemistry.

It was one of those films that I will watch every year for the rest of my life.

Also, an unintended prequel to You’ve Got Mail!

Yes, I watched that afterwards and enjoyed it too. It was an excellently cast film. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are great, of course, but it was also one of those films where every member of the supporting cast was memorable. I didn't expect to see David Chappelle show up.
