I found one of my favorite movies on YouTube recently. Yeah, I got the premium YouTube thing. No ads in my videos, and some movies.

What are some of your favorite movies? It's hard for me to pick just one. Depends on the genre. I love me some good action and mystery, like The Bourne Identity. But I also love good comedies, sci-fi, and more.

In this instance, the movie I was referring to was Yesterday. IMO, one of the freshest, most novel, ways to tell a love story. You don't have to be a Beatles fan to enjoy this one (though it helps). It's mostly a love story where the love is right in front of him but he doesn't see it until the end. But the vehicle in which they deliver it is unique (to my knowledge), and has me pondering all sorts of other questions like if someone were writing some classic Beatles songs today, would be they popular? It's not relevant to the love story, but is a story in itself. I also love little jokes like "yeah, about the 'White Album'...that presents some diversity issues". :-)

I really like movies that show me something I've never seen before, or at least a "classic" story in a way I've never seen it presented. So many are just rehashes of the same story with only minor new elements (or flat-out 'reboots' of familiar stories, which are seldom as good as the original).

Anyone have a few favorites to share? Or wanna discuss a world without the Beatles' music?
