Story Pile: Flight of the Phoenix
What’s your favourite movie?
That’s one of those questions that we ask from time to time, a conversation starter. For me, I don’t have a good answer – like, I struggle to give a meaningful response that doesn’t involve explaining ‘I’m bad at favourites,’ which means that the conversation stops being about an interesting common shared media thing and starts, instead, being about my personal anxieties. They’re not fun to talk about. I mean I assume they’re not, I haven’t found anyone interested yet.
I do like asking the question, though, even if I can’t answer it for squat.
One time I asked it, and I got told amongst others, that my friend’s favourite movie was Flight of the Phoenix.
