“We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls. They allow us to enter other minds, not simply in the sense of identifying with the characters, although that is an important part of it, but by seeing the world as another person sees it.” – Roger Ebert

While it was Roger Ebert’s job to watch movies, his love of films was very evident. Do you have a love of movies, too? Do you enjoy going to the movie theater and getting a big bucket of popcorn and settling in for the show? Will you watch just about anything or is there a specific genre of films you like?
