Presence

I really love the David Lynch movie "The Straight Story".  This movie re-tells the true story of an old man (Alvin) riding a motorized lawnmower, because he doesn't have a license, from Laurens, Iowa to Mt. Zion, Wisconsin to visit his dying brother (Lyle), who he hasn't had a good relationship with recently.  *Spoiler Alert* The story's pretty boring, so the whole film you're kind of waiting for Alvin to finally reach Lyle, and waiting for something exciting to happen.  When Alvin finally reaches Lyle, nothing exciting happens.  The two men civilly exchange a greeting.  When they each take a seat on Lyle's porch, Lyle asks Alvin if he traveled all the way to see him in a lawnmower.  Alvin says "yes", and then the movie just ends.  I think this movie expresses a valuable lesson about life.  I think the lesson is, as boring as things migh be, live in the moment, and don't be anxious about arriving at a certain moment.
