I watch some TV of course, but my real love is movies. I always figured it was because I have a short attention span >x< I like that I can watch a film and it will be (more or less) wrapped up within a couple of hours. I love thinking about films afterwards; feeling inspired, or motivated, or sad.
I always rewatch my favourite movies. I love all things Ghibli, but Spirited Away was my first and most special, having a profound, personal impact on my life.
Here's a list of some of my favourites:
