What’s your favourite movie?

This is a good question and, honestly, I don't know.

It's like asking what is your favorite food?

When you have a craving for a 32-oz prime rib, a bowl of gourmet ice cream isn't going to cut it. But, 3 hours after that prime rib, the last thing you want is prime rib, and you want that ice cream!

So, just like different foods satisfy different cravings at different times, different movies "hit the spot" depending on the kind of entertainment that you need.

However, given that it's Black History Month, I will say that one of those films is "Boyz 'N' The Hood", the late great John Singleton's 1991 masterpiece about the struggles of living in South Central Los Angeles and trying to get out.

Whenever I feel like I am forgetting why BLM is important, I watch that movie. If I am flipping channels, I usually stop when I see this is on.

Here is Roger Ebert's 4-star review:

From that review:

... John Singleton’s “Boyz N the Hood,” one of the best American films of recent years... is a thoughtful, realistic look at a young man’s coming of age, and also a human drama of rare power - Academy Award material. Singleton is a director who brings together two attributes not always found in the same film: He has a subject, and he has a style. The film is not only important, but also a joy to watch, because his camera is so confident and he wins such natural performances from his actors.

...

“Boyz N the Hood” has maturity and emotional depth: There are no cheap shots, nothing is thrown in for effect, realism is placed ahead of easy dramatic payoffs, and the audience grows deeply involved. By the end of “Boyz N the Hood,” I realized I had seen not simply a brilliant directorial debut, but an American film of enormous importance.

I am not saying "Boyz" is my favorite movie, but it's an important movie to me. As a White kid from a suburban Long Island community that didn't have any Black folks, "Boyz" helped get me "woke" at bit - and that was 30+ years ago.

I like Disney's "A Goofy Movie", Pixar's Home, and all of the MLP Equestria Girls movies. I also like Netflix's new MLP movie.
