INTRODUCTION: What’s Your Favorite Movie?
In 2019, we asked composer Orlando Garcia to name his favorite movie. We said to Orlando, “Obviously, it’s impossible to name one favorite movie, but if you are channel-surfing and you see a listing for a film that you have seen many times before, which film would you dive into no matter which part of the movie, because you know most of the dialogue and remember all of the plot. Or to put it another way, if you were on a desert island and could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, which movie would it be?”
