What's your favorite movie and why?

I have copied Siberian Husky's "Bunny" into my signature to aid his quest for world domination. Now you must do the same.
Now why can't I make this Courier New font...

I don't watch much movies, and I don't think this is my absolute favorite movie but this is piano-related -  have any of you seen the Chinese movie Secret (2007)? The piano battle at the beginning is pretty sacrilegious and I didn't think I would like it from the façade but at the end, it was the first movie that ever made me cry. I think the combination of the simple time manipulation with the recurring piano theme (not really amazing, but quite contrasting and catchy) makes for a fun watch.
last 3 schubert sonatas and piano trios are something else

Harvey.
Is that the one with the giant rabbit thing?
Why do like so much stuff with people in fur costumes? First the "Rain World" thing and now this?

A few things.
1. Yes, Harvey is the one with the giant rabbit -- or rather that's Elwood. Harvey IS the giant rabbit.
2. Harvey is invisible and is only seen once in the entire film (in a painting), and is very clearly not someone in an animal costume but rather just a really tall rabbit that stands on two feet, which is a reference to an Irish mythical creature.
3. We had the Rain World conversation two times already...
Do you need images or something?

That's the box art; all I see is two animals (a "slugcat" and cyan lizard, by the way)...

And oh yeah, this conversation is about movies. So stop being a teenager obsessed with "outing people" as something you don't like and talk about movies, lol.

Nevermind then...
I guess I'll give it a look.

the Rain World conversation
I searched "rain world art" and made the mistake of turning off safe-search.
No, I'm not linking those images.
Care to explain that?

I highly recommend it. :)

I... what?
I just did the same thing and don't see anything that would even remotely be considered NSFW, don't see anything to do with "furrys," and see a grand total of zero things that might be viewed as inappropriate for younger audiences.
My best guess is that Google is giving you stuff that it thinks will fit your interests, so if you're an American teenage boy who's a bit more into porn than most American teenage boys then it wouldn't surprise me if Google gave you that section of the Rain World community. Did any of the websites under the images link to a subreddit with a name obviously referencing explicit content?

...Or you're just lying, found the same stuff I found, and trying accomplish... something?
Yeah, that seems more likely.


Anyways, can we please get back to movies? I will no longer be entertaining the conversation about Rain World, unless you want to discuss this in PMs for whatever reason.

What are you talking about.
Do you want me to send you the animal porn that came up for me or something?
I'm not doing that.

I'm crazy about Ghibli's animated films. Is anyone like me? The content of the films is good. The images are beautiful. And the music in the films can really be listened to over and over again for many years without getting bored or getting outdated.
