Is "What's Your Favorite Movie Of All Time" A Valid Question?

Jan 4th 2011 12:09PM (Moviefone Blog)
The problem isn't the question itself, so much as the misunderstandings that people can have when asking. To wit:

I used to have a friend who was one of those "no good movies were made after 1980" snobs. She asked me once what my favorite movie was. I responded "Ferris Bueller's Day Off;" I was an impressionable 15-year-old when it came out, and it was the first movie to make me realize that even a silly comedy can be smart and well-made.

However, my answer prompted nothing but outrage from her. "Are you really saying you think Ferris Bueller's Day Off is the greatest movie ever made?" she demanded.

I calmly responded, "that's not what you asked. You didn't ask what I think is objectively the best. You asked what *my* personal favorite was."

She refused to accept my response, and we argued until she took off in a huff.

Are AMC Dine-In Theatres the Next Alamo Drafthouse? Give Us Your Verdict

Nov 17th 2010 2:38PM (Moviefone Blog)
Until the Drafthouse comes to Seattle, I'm sticking with Cinebarre. The ticket prices are reasonable (none of this "experience charge" crap), and you get great food and, most importantly, beer.

What's Your Favorite Pixar Ending?

Jun 25th 2010 7:46PM (Cinematical)
Monsters Inc. remains my favorite Pixar movie for that very reason. Props should also be given to John Goodman for the confrontation between Sully and Waternoose; the rage and betrayal in his voice on the line "but kidnapping CHILDREN?" was absolute perfection.
