My favorite movie is Manhattan by Woody Allen, my second favorite is Breakfast at Tiffany's with Audrey Hepburn. If you've seen these two movies you probably assume I'm some sort of romantic. Or, maybe just obsessed with New York, where both movies are set. Maybe there is a little truth to both. These movies are about beauty and impossible love affairs. Both have a happy ending, but deep down you know the love can not last, and they are tragic heroes which you root for because they remind you of your innocence and downright foolishness when you fall in love. Despite the fact that I always remember Breakfast at Tiffany's as being in black and white, and despite all the pictures from it on the web, it actually was filmed in color. But, just to be consistent with my mental picture, the one below is not in color.

I also liked Hackers, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and ET. I will not deny that hackers has no base in reality. Hackers are not sexy, do not have that top of the line equipment, and do not go to public phone booths to do their hacking. But it's pretty damned close to what we wanted it to be. Fear and Loathing was just plain funny, I didn't plan to see it because of the advertising turned me off, but a friend insisted I see it and she was right. Finally, ET is the first movie I remember seeing, I was six or so and I can't tell you how scared I was when Eliot discovered ET in the shed. And it began my mini-obsession with Drew Barrymore, I always liked those older women.
