The 180 Degree Rule is an important aspect of the film grammar. The Director's template has a tool for drawing in the 180 degree axis and it is worthwhile to get in the habit of drawing it in. Crossing the 180 degree axis can be very confusing since the directions established for the viewer is changed.
