The movie title announces but Tim questions, are these really The Best Years of Our Lives? What makes the years best or even meaningful? How do we live out our lives as best we can?

Tim brings Groundhog Day and Meet Me in St. Louis for consideration, the former with it's one-liners and latter with some immortal tunes.
