Twitter wants to know.
We love Twitter games. And movies. So this morning when #fave7films became the top trending topic in the Twitterverse, it was right up our alley. We rounded up the team and forced them to each come up with a list. We set a few groundrules to assist our often overly-thoughtful group:
Don’t over think it.
This doesn’t have to be your favorite 7 forever. It’s simply your 7 favorite as of this moment – the morning of Monday, August 15, 2016.
The results were, as expected, a diverse set of lists from our contributors, interns, and editors. Here’s what each of our team members came up with, sans explanation or context, as their 7 favorite films as of right now:
