With the hostless Oscars upon us again, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science decided to launch #GlobalMovieDay – a day to celebrate your favorite films and, according to them:
“…engage with Academy members and filmmakers across social media.”
Because if it’s anyone who needs more engagement and praise on social media, it’s Hollywood royalty. I plan on letting Jake Gyllenhaal know he was great in “Source Code.” 
But OK. I’ll bite. I love movies. I’ve listed below my favorite films of all-time across a wide spectrum of genres, some of which are made up. I encourage you to do the same and share with us at News 12.
Keep in mind I was born in 1982.
