RIDDLE-ME-THIS WEDNESDAY: what's your favorite movie?

The answer to this is very difficult for me because anyone who knows me knows I love the art of film. I have since I was a kid. Sometimes I love a movie for how it's made and looks but I hate the story and plot itself: (i.e. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, complete wastes of anyones time, but visually dazzling.) Or sometimes love the story and plot of a movie but hate how it looks or was made (i.e. The Illusionist and Twilight).

But to answer the question, ultimately it would have to be Big Fish. I

love this movie; ever since the first time I saw it six years ago. I love it love it love it. I love the visual amazement of it all and I love the story. I love the way the popcorn freezes mid-air when Edward Bloom see's the woman he's going to marry someday.

I love the joined-at-the-hip Siamese Vietnamese twins. I love the city of Spectre and that in order to live their you have to be barefoot.

I love the story of the son who doesn't really know who his father is, but ultimately realizes he's known the entire time through his father's stories. I love how it's a movie where parents are actually in love and faithful to each other and don't talk about marriage as if it's a disease. I love the cinematography. I love the music (a regular on my iTunes when I'm doing homework...). I love the book on which it's based. And yes, I even love the Miley Cyrus 6-year-old cameo pre-Hannah Montana.

So yes, Big Fish would be it.
