What your favorite movie (really) says about you.. (57 movies items)

"If The Seventh Seal is your favorite movie.....you pride yourself in being the smartest person in the room when it comes to film. You would rather watch a wall drip with blood of lambs to symbolize Political Repression than watch the latest popcorn flick. Indie to a T, witty and smart, you love the intellectual, and chess, and philosophy. You have a subscription to the Criterion Channel, and peruse same weekly. "
