"Of course movies are a large part of my life, but in particular period films are my favorites. Whether the story is fiction or truth, to be taken to another time and be given a glimpse of how things were is truly marvelous. Amadeus, Schindler's List, Out of Africa, Elizabeth, The Last Emperor if I had a Top Ten list, all of these great period films would be there. Top 10 for me, however, is impossible. I might be able to make a Top 50 list&emdash;then again maybe not."
