What’s–currently–your favorite movie?
When I’m with someone I don’t know that well and the conversation lags, I love to ask them: What’s your favorite movie? Most of the time, people think a moment and then say they don’t have a favorite movie but, if they had to pick they’d say __________________. Then they ask me for mine. I…
