How can you pick a favorite movie or TV series or just a few. For those of us who've been around for awhile the list gets longer and longer because there's been some pretty good ones over the years (and really bad ones). I'm almost embarrased to post my lists because they're so long compared to everone else's. And there's no way my lists are anywhere near being complete, especially movies.
To answer cathexis93 questions, I prefer to watch most movies at home unless I think (hope?) the visuals would be best suited to large screen. It doesn't matter if I'm with people or not, although it's fun to discuss the show afterwards with family and/or friends. My choices usually fall in the genres of sci-fi, mystery, action/adventure and romance.
