This essay is brilliant. Having grown up watching these old movies, some of them on late night TV as a teen, Sarah has captured the allure and the fascination these films commanded in their avid audiences.

I can't use words like Sarah can, but she touched my heart when she wrote that she didn't text or scroll. She just watched, engrossed in the story and the characters. Laughed about Citizen Kane. I agree! Weaving her own story of grief as she left her apt. made these film forays even more significant and relatable. So well written. Thanks, Sarah!
