My first exposure to Cowboy Bebop was an ad agency that wanted me to watch the movie (in theaters at the time) to get a sense of what they were trying to do with a campaign I was scoring. It was not good, but I called up a girl I knew to see if her husband was busy (he was unemployed and probably into anime) and discovered she'd kicked him out of the house. We got to talking about that, and other things, and long story short, she's been my wife for going on eight years.

I'd heard over the years that the movie is not at all representative of the series and I think I've watched the first three or so. It was shocking to me how much Firefly cribbed from Cowboy Bebop. Seeing as the girl is a big Firefly fan, maybe I oughtta drag her along.
