The Summer of '42 - commercial free on TMC. First time decades. Forgot great of a movie it was. Easily one of the best 'coming of age' movies ever made.
And that last scene between Hermie and Dorothy is equal parts sad and amazingly beautiful. The camera work is amazing and the director having most of the scene be devoid of music or any dialogue was perfect.
O'neill and Grimes' performances are so incredible considering they had to act the majority of the scene with just their eyes and bodies.
