A follow up frame from When Harry Met Sally where Harry confronts Sally about her home video cataloging system. In this frame he states, "...alphabetized and on index cards."

Yes, Harry, she does. RIP, Rob Reiner, you and Nora Ephron clearly understood the importance of caring for your personal media collections. Happy New Year.
