#1What Is Your All-Time Favorite Movie?
Posted: 6/7/07 at 4:25pmDespite only coming out last year, my favorite movie of all time is INLAND EMPIRE. It may not be for everyone, and some may just absolutely abhor it, but this film is an absolute masterpiece and the experience of watching it in the theater is one that shall never leave my head.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

The problem with these threads is that I see everyone else's answers and think "oh yeah! I should have said that too!"
I don't have one favorite. Movies bring so many different emotions out depending on where a person is (figuratively) when they see it. And then there are those that are sheer masterpieces of craft.
I simply can not choose.

Posted: 6/7/07 at 5:14pmMy sentimental choice would be It's a Wonderful Life, but it's really tough to single out one favorite.

Posted: 6/7/07 at 6:15pmSunset Boulevard. I just think it is an overall strong movie amongst all the others that I like with more flaws to them or aren't as repeatedly viewed as this one gets in my house.
