**Contains Spoilers** A film comes along all to infrequently that really requires viewing on many occasions to see all there is to see and to fully appreciate it.
Miracle Mile is one of those rarities that holds such hidden gems among it's more obvious but outstanding scenes. The character's irrationality in a situation none of us can logically identify with makes far more sense than a logical view in chaos. Imagine, you KNOW you are going to die in an hour so. What do you do? Your love on a first date becomes stronger than any love because you know time is very short and the honeymoon period kicks overwhelmingly.
De Jarnett begins this movie beautifully to set us on our way for what's to come. Harry meets his dream girl and Julie's parents speak to each other again after all those years on the last day of their lives. De Jarnett plays with the viewer allowing us to recall Harry falling asleep in his hotel and leaving an added possibility to the climax of 'is it or isn't it real' but he was never going to lose his non-Hollywood bottle.
The clocks ticking down in the department store, the "we're not people anymore" phrase used by a typically unbelieving reporter, the moving shattering finale. Memorable.
A national treasure. Seek it out and watch it again and again. It will affect you.
