This is a partial list of my
favorite films.
I'm fond of old movies, particularly comedies and suspense.
Predictably, Alfred Hitchcock and Frank Capra are two of
my favorite filmmakers. Some of my favorite actors
include Kathy Bates, Anthony Hopkins, Cary Grant,
Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Myrna Loy, Denholm Elliot,
Lionel Barrymore, Ingrid Bergman, Gerard Depardeau,
Judy Densch, Michael Caine.
Those marked with an * are particular favorites.
