My Favorite Movies

Preference
Movies are retreat for me from my life. Usually, I like to watch a movie based on true story. These movies help me to see other perspectives of life. Danish girl, Boys don't cry, Speak, The Wrestler, Cinderella Man are name of a few movies. I am a big fan of western civilization, my movie preference reflects this. I sometimes love to see movies that has a simple story line, sometimes I like to see movies with an interesting plot. I have noticed that at a given point of time my preference of watching a movie changes based on what I want at that time. For instance, I might end up watching an inspirational movie when I am feeling bit down.
