What is your real favorite movie, and what movie do you pretend is your favorite to sound cultured?
The Princess Bride, and Un Chein Andalou – a “film” which has only been viewed by the most pretentious of arthouse socialists wearing ironic berets.
Ironically, what I wear while watching The Princess Bride.
Real favorite movie: “L.A. Tool and Die.” Movie I say is my favorite to sound cultured: “El Paso Wrecking Corp.”
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

“What is your real favorite movie”
2001: A Space Odyssey
“and what movie do you pretend is your favorite to sound cultured?”
Moon Nukers don’t pretend.
I just love “The Fifth Element”, for some reason I can’t put my finger on…
I admire the artistry, musical score, and story arc of “On The Waterfront”.
Young Frankenstein – favorite
Magnolia and/or Avatar – pretentious
Favorite movie: The Wild Bunch. Movie I say is my favorite to sound cultured: Blazing Saddles.

The Big Lebowski
Burn After Reading
Dr. Strangelove or how I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb
