I think when you grow up and gain a little maturity, you'll be able to answer your own question--but that will be quite some time, won't it?

My favorite is the Ingmar Bergman trilogy of THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY, THE SILENCE and WINTER LIGHT. I saw them all at once on a night I will not forget.
It's not really possible to ever definitively, or quantitatively, determine what is the "best" film. Personal best, maybe, but if you want everyone to agree with you, you haven't a chance. But, if you choose your "favorite" film, you'll never be wrong and no one can argue with you.
I know four different people whose favorite film is TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. An excellent choice and certainly in my Top Ten.
Can you imagine anyone walking around saying, "This year is 1 B.C.?"
Honestly, who cares? I'll go with whatever the third digit is. If it's a 1, then it's the teens. If it's a 2, then it's the twenties. A 3, the thirties. Much simpler. It's arbitrary anyway. A number was picked by men years after the fact. Remember the panic of 1999? The world was going to end because our clocks weren't going to know what year it was. Good grief.
