When it comes to picking your favorite movie

I don't think you CAN pick just one!

I think you need to pick your top THREE

to truly triangulate your profile as a moviegoer!

And my top three are:

Rear Window, The Dark Knight and Saving Mr Banks.

Rear Window, because it's the first film I appreciated

not just as entertainment BUT as a work of art!

I wrote a paper on Rear Window in film school

and I still remember being so proud that I figured out

that each apartment in the courtyard depicts a different romantic situation.

Then, until The Dark Knight, people viewed comics books as something for kids - or immature adults!

Which was not only UNTRUE

but kind of offensive to comic book readers like myself!

Then Christopher Nolan comes along

not a comic book reader

and takes the source material as seriously as if he were adapting a novel or a play!

The Dark Knight went on to become the first comic book movie

to make a billion dollars at the box office

and be a serious awards contender!

If it wasn't for The Dark Knight we wouldn't have movies like Mad Max Fury Road

my favorite movie for 2015.

As for Saving Mr Banks

that's a movie about two creative geniuses

Walt Disney and PL Travers

forced to compromise, the result being the movie Mary Poppins.

Now when I was little, my dad watched Mary Poppins like on a loop

and I couldn't understand why

until I saw Saving Mr Banks!

And I realized that Mary Poppins is actually a movie about saving fathers

who can also have a really rough time

and that movie helped my dad

when he needed it.

Rolling...

Rear Window, because it's - hmm.

Also, um

a little less purposeful with the turn - it's looking a little, like, movie villain.

I need a cat!

A little Blofeld there.

Sorry to disappoint you Mr Bond

but you're not on my list!
