Wings of Desire or Der Himmel Über Berlin, as it's originally called, I think. Directed by the great Wim Wenders.
I've had this on my "to watch" list ever since Mr. Maelstrom recommended it a year ago or so, and only just got to see it yesterday. And boy, am I glad I did. I won't even attempt to describe all the things that are so fantastic about this film; I have neither the time or mental capacity for that right now. Suffice to say it encapsulates almost everything that's so sublime and mysterious about being human, thinking, loving, just being.
It meant a lot to me, especially right now. I have a feeling I'll see this film again soon, and then several more times, just to catch all the nuances I felt like I might have missed from the sheer impact of watching it the first time.
