If you could own only one film, which one would it be?

Very peculiar choice. :-)

Yeah I know. Not necessarily my favourite movie, but the most recyclable.

But surely you would choose your favourite film as the one?

[ex-stanza602.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily... otherwise you would have simply asked "What's your favourite film?"

Maybe my favourite film is a really disturbing film noir or something, and while I love it, I can't watch it repeatedly.

Or a movie like Memento. Loved it but I have no interest in seeing it again.

I just assumed that people would choose their all time favourite as the one. Ultimately, you want something that you can watch over and over, but that you can love too. A film like "Dumb and Dumber", or "Groundhog Day" (for myself) might at first be thought of as perfect choices, but I wonder if we'd run out of things to learn from them, insight, and start craving more meaty stuff?

Well I can still rent. :) But that's the movie I'd choose to own because that's the movie I'd come back to more than any other.

And meaty stuff can come from many other sources than movies.

I have to say I really enjoyed this little exchange. Your take on the question was really interesting and I liked your line of reasoning on the backup of your choice.

Yes, I'm that bored. I'm reading all the comments to this post.

Why thank you. I hope your life picks up some excitement soon. :)

heh...well, I just got Bad Education in, so yes, it's picking up.
