I know you are asked your favorite film all the time but do you have three? And can you explain why you love these films? For me,I had only two and it took me a long time to come up with a third. Usual Suspects and Casablanca are my two all time favorites. I love Usual Suspects because of the plot twists and the dialogue.it is the one film you want to watch over again right after you have seen it.And as for Casablanca, it has a little of everything,drama,action ,comedy and music. The characters and the plot are fantastic.But like I said it took me a while to come up with a third film. then it came to me,The Departed. not only is it Scorsese but it has a great plot and unforgettable dialogue.So how about you? what are your three and why?

I haven't watched Casablanca completely. To me, its music is wonderful. Actually it is difficult for me to just pick three favorite movies. But be sure these movies are in my list. They are Superman, Brave heart and Armageddon. I like science fiction movies and I watched Superman when I was a child. This movie has a big effect on me. I appreciate William Wallace from Brave Heart. His spirit moved me. I cried whenever I watched this movie again. Armageddon is also a great movie in my opinion. I like the cast and the story is great. It is also touching. I love China

I think Casablanca DVD with Chinese subtitle is available here. But I hardly watch black and white movies unless they are very good movies. I watched Rome Holiday when I was a child and it was impressive for me.

For me, its 3 of the following( Not in order of merit): Pretty Woman: I love Julia Roberts and this is the film in which she shot to fame as well as earning her the first ever 'Best Actress' Golden Globe and Oscar 'Best Actress' nomination. Coco Avant Chanel: I am a fashion designer /stylist so I love watching movies on history of fashion or designers. Also, I love Audrey Tautou's portraying Coco Chanel because she really resemble the young Coco Chanel. Devil Wears Prada: No doubt another fashion film, and also, I love Meryl Streep portraying the role of Miranda as well as the way they show the life of people in the fashion industry.
