I think it's an oversimplification to ever declare an all-time favorite movie. I'm entirely unprepared each time I'm asked what my favorite movie is. You'd think I'd have time to at least come up with a general answer. Does anyone ever have an answer to this question?
It's dependent on mood! Atmosphere! Present company!
Here are some examples of movies I love in certain situations:
-Weekend night with at least three people: Count of Monte Cristo, Pirates of the Caribbean
(Genre: Action, Adventure)
-Trying to fall asleep: 13 Going On 30, Bridget Jones's Diary
(Genre: Comedy, Girly)
-Cozy night in with a significant other: When Harry Met Sally
(Genre: Romantic Comedy)
-Weekend night with one other female friend: Amelie
(Genre: Drama, Foreign Film)
-Daytime with a family member: My Fair Lady
(Genre: Classic, Comedy, Musical)
-Night in by myself: Pride and Prejudice, The American President
(Genre: Drama, Romance)
-Lazy Sunday morning: You've Got Mail
(Genre: Romantic Comedy)
-Late autumn through winter: Love Actually
(Genre: Holiday, Comedy)
Usually, I'd love to rent something I've never seen or go to the theatre, but these are some of the movies I would watch over and over again. What's your favorite movie?
