what's your favorite movie?

hi!!! ooh, I think I'll have to cheat a bit and give two answers - the movie that is my personal favourite is How To Steal A Million (1966), starring Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. It's a lovely little romcom with a heist, art forgery, and People Being Competent (or pretending to be but making it work anyways, same thing). Favourite thing to rewatch, but not sure I'd recommend it if you aren't already into the genre.

My favourite movie in the "everyone should watch this!!" way, though, is definitely Victor/Victoria (1982). It's funny, witty, has so many queer characters, and I really appreciate how it sits itself so comfortably in that middle space between 'gender' and 'sexuality' and explores both at the same time. TLDR Julie Andrews wears several suits, lots of shenanigans ensue, and Norma might be my favourite character to ever grace the screen.

(The only reason it isn't also my personal favourite is that I like the 1995 Broadway proshot version of the story just a liiiittle bit more (they remove the couple of gripes I had with the original film and somehow make it *even more queer*) - but that's just my preference, the movie is also very good :P)
