When Harry Met Sally
Grown people, talking. The sex is a subject, not a stunt. The ending believes in a vow.
This is a conversation movie, which is why it has lasted. Harry and Sally are specific, difficult, and not teenagers. The film's famous scene is a joke about performance, and it is franker than a family hour can use. The spine, if you can keep it in view, is that a feeling is not a life until two people agree to keep showing up after the feeling has been embarrassed.
Adults. A good one to watch with a spouse and then walk. Not for the children in the house.

Industry
6/10
They have jobs and a city. The work is not the subject, and it is not a joke.
Household
7/10
The argument ends in a marriage. Friendship is the long apprenticeship.
Piety
3/10
New Year's is the liturgy. That is as close as they get.
Courage
6/10
He says the true thing in public, late, at a cost to his pride.
Republic
5/10
New York friends, a city of diners. Not a town, but not a vacuum.
Temperance
4/10
They sleep with other people and the film does not pretend it is free. It also spends a famous scene on appetite.
Truth
7/10
The question of the film is whether you can say what you mean to the person you actually want.
Stewardship
6/10
The interviews with old couples are the film admitting that the point is to last.
Live historicallySay the true thing to your spouse before the year requires a speech.
