30 Day Movie Challenge: Day #1

Day 1. Favorite Film

Because I am a huge movie buff, I dread the question, “What is your favorite movie?” There are too many movies to pick from and it usually comes down to what kind of mood I’m in or what was the last movie that I watched that I absolutely loved. Going to school for film, I realized that I had to come up with a go to answer. After going through my very big movie collection I have come up with a top five favorite movies. Many have been longtime favorites while others just recently made the list. These are in no particular order.

  • Some Like it Hot (1959)–When two musicians witness a mob hit, they flee the state in an all female band disguised as women, but further complications set in. Billy Wilder writes and directs while Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon star.
