It's tough picking a favorite movie. You would be better off asking me what was my favorite black and white movie; favorite animated film; favorite movie by a particular director; foreign film; etc. Because movies, as with real life, are made up of lots of different experiences, textures and memories.
Here's an incomplete listing:
Favorite Hitchcock: Rebecca, Strangers on a Train
Favorite Scorsese: Age of Innocence, The Departed, Raging Bull
Favorite Coppola: Apocalypse Now
Favorite Wilder: Some Like it Hot
Favorite Hughes: 16 Candles
Favorite Malick: Days of Heaven
Favorite Spielberg: Minority Report (weird that it's not Schindler's or Saving Private Ryan. Can't help it!)
Favorite Eastwood: Gran Torino
Favorite Capra: It Happened One Night
Abrupt halt....I've done it. I want to make a ton of sublists and spend the next few days watching nothing but movies. Lists are swirling through my head: My favorite Clark Gable, my favorite costume designs, my favorite foreign, best soundtracks..... Gosh, not easy to plunge into, but this just might be a fun weekly feature!
