... you can learn from:
Out of Sight (1998)
Jack: It's like seeing someone for the first time, like you can be passing on the street, and you look at each other for a few seconds, and there's this kind of a recognition like you both know something. Next moment the person's gone, and it's too late to do anything about it. And you always remember it because it was there, and you let it go, and you think to yourself, 'What if I had stopped? What if I had said something?' What if, what if... it may only happen a few times in your life.Karen: Or once.Jack: Or once.
Every time I write this about a 1998 movie a little piece of my crumbles to dust, but -- a happy 25th birthday to this great Soderbergh flick! Another casualty of my busy-ness as of late was me re-watching this movie for the first time in too long and writing a piece on it for this anniversary; I've just had too many other projects due last and this week to get to this one. But I have an open little window tonight and I bought this movie on 4K recently, so maybe I'll watch it here for its anniversary proper. And maybe I'll remember what it felt like, actually liking George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez! In all seriousness though, I loved this movie and am extremely curious how it'll hold up after all these years. Stay tuned!

Still an absolute bop. The role-playing scene in the hotel lobby is cinema at its best.
Come for Clooney and Lopez but stay for Farina, Keaton, Albert freaking Brooks, and at least half a dozen others in the supporting cast, all doing amazing and very lived-in feeling work.
I saw it in the theater, and fell love with the film's sensual pacing. It does create a spell.
