Star Wars kick...
I am watching Empire Strikes Back, which I haven't seen in years and years and years, and I've forgotten how incredibly awesome and OTPish Han/Leia are. *mad squee* Yup, I just got to the kissing bit and the whole 'you like me because I am a scoundrel' thing. SQUEE

I've forgotten how incredibly awesome and OTPish Han/Leia are
Ohgodyes. This is possibly why Empire Strikes Back is my favourite movie of original trilogy. Oh, and the fact that of course it's one of the rare sequels that is better than the first film. IMO anyway. I mean,putting the H/L aside, there's battle of Hoth, YODA (!!!), Luke/Vader duel #1, "I am your father", Lando.. It's just made of pure awesome. I love it.
The last time I rewatched the movies on TV the Han/Leia hit me over the head - previously I'd been too youg to sort of realize that part of the plot but just then I fully *got* their wonderful bickering unfit but yet so fitting relationship and fell in love. I went on a huge fic finding expedition and mm, for an ancient fandom like SW there's a lot of good fic out there.
I even tried reading some of the SW Extended Universe books for H/L but it's not really the same and some fans have told me that a couple of EU authors completely fuck up their chemistry and forgot they ever fell in love and make Han just waste nights at bars and Leia all workaholic.. Of course, they do have kids and everything but after hearing about the monstrously bad, OOC book that details how they got married (Han apparently kidnaps Leia wtf wtf and the whole wedding is from Luke's perspective - again, huh), I decided screw EU, I'll just read fics.
