What's Your Favorite Movie?

I personally love Studio Ghibli's films and indie films.

Patton, especially the opening scene where the camera pans out on the American flag and then a voice yells out "Attention!" I was undergoing my Infantry training when I saw it at the Post theater (theatre-for you Danny) and 500 trainees all jumped to attention when that happened.

Hmm I can't say I've seen any of his. I'm big on my anime series, not seen a huge amount of anime films if I'm honest.

I like studio Ghibli films as they mix their anime with european culture.
