I am so, so depressed. Ever since I went on a Columbo watching spree a few summers back, I've had the biggest, doofiest crush on this guy. Come back, Falk! You always have "one more thing" to add, don't you? Doesn't that include multiple lives, like a cat?
It feels particularly cruel that he had to get struck down by Alzheimer's. Strangely enough, I never watched more than a few minutes of Columbo so I know him more for his movie roles, like Princess Bride and Murder by Death. Hence, my choice of quote.
Of all of the thousands of films that I have seen in my life, few compare to "Wings of Desire." This scene alone has the power to bring me to tears every time I watch it. Rest in Peace, Peter.
