You also should note then that this title ends in a preposition (which is grammatically incorrect, if you want to be so anal).
If you're so smart, how come you didn't realize that?
"Here" is not a preposition in this context (nor is ending a sentence with a preposition grammatically incorrect. That's a grammatical myth.
I know something you don't know ... I am ambidextrous!
"Here" is never a preposition--not in English. Maybe in Ibo.

Ending a sentence with a preposition is definitely not grammatically incorrect.

Thank you. I mentally correct this phrase in my head anytime I hear it said in movies or on TV. But I can tell you, we're fighting a losing battle, people.
shareI think he should change the title to:
"I wish I had been there"
or
Something more strong like:
"HERE!...that's where I wish I were"
"Wish I Had Made a Good Movie"
shareOr he could have name it "Wish You Were Here" and have the soundtrack be provided by a certain English heavy progressive band that I like.

the titles meaning i about wishing you where here in this moment.
as in "I wish i was here in this moment for ever"
was is correct in this case as its not contrary to fact.
was is perfectly fine in this case.
Zach seems like they type of chap who "could" care less...
