MOVIE MANIA

 

I am a self-confessed film maniac. My romance with films started when a teacher showed Oro Plata Mata back in high school. She wanted to teach us about our country. I was awed and touched and realized the power movies have. Now I watch films for many reasons. Mostly for enjoyment. Sometimes to escape into another world. Often to bitch about it in the end. Depends on the mood, really. Like when I watched “Don’t Give Up On Us” recently, I was in my please-shoot-me-now mood. Hahaha.

 

So when someone asks me what my favorite film is, I don’t even know where to start. There are way too many. But I will definitely say that Godfather I and II are my two favorite films of all time. Hands down. Which basically translates to, I can watch it over and over again and never get tired. So here’s a stab of my movie list. I may miss some. Either I haven’t watched them. Or my memory has failed me.
