I first read about the film in early 2002 in Film Comment. For me, the best example of this is François Ozon's 2002 film, 8 Women. Occasionally, we feel close to movies that no one else seems to love as much as we do, or at least no one we know. However, it's not like this for all the movies we love. Such was the case with the subject of my first "Movies of My Life" column back in December, Back to the Future. Sometimes, these movies are widely loved, and as such they become a common currency among all those who love them.

Most of these movies are legitimately great, but our love for them transcends quality. We all have movies we love, and movies to which we feel a particular closeness.
