When I start talking about movies it's usually impossible to shut me up. I've seen films from a variety of countries, but I'm most familiar with American and french films.

Over the years I've gone through an inde phrase, a classics phrase, and a hollywood phrase. Now I'm just looking for good entertainment. I think I'm happiest watching a musical or western but I enjoy anything that isn't overly pretentious. Monster movies and disaster films hold a special place in my heart. I'm picky about the rest.

A number of films have made an impression on me, but there are three that stand out:

• Brazil (Terry Gilliam)
• Cyrano de Bergerac (Jean-Paul Rappeneau)
• Minbo No Onna (Juzo Itami)

Some older Films I highly recommend:

• Seven Samurai (Akira Kurosawa)
• Singin' in the Rain (Stanley Donen & Gene Kelly)
• The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence (John Ford)
• Anatomy of a Murder (Otto Preminger)
• The Philadelphia Story (George Cukor)
• Alien (Ridley Scott)
• Jaws (Steven Spielberg)
• Rebecca (Alfred Hitchcock)
• Witness for the Prosecution (Billy Wilder)
• His Girl Friday (Howard Hawks)
• Dr. Strangelove (Stanley Kubrick)
• Charade (Stanley Donen)
• In the Heat of the Night (Norman Jewison)
