Before I proceed, let me first say that, no, you didn't miss my postings of 20 favorite movies before this one. I just had to start somewhere, and if I marked today's offering #1, it would seem like the movie below is my No. 1 favorite film. Which it's not. But it's in my top 100, and #21 seemed a good place to start. At least to me.

So ... on with the show ...

When life gets a little rough around the edges, my favorite way to escape is by watching a movie. Which is why I love this movie so, as in it Mia Farrow does the very same thing — with very unusual results.

I never figured myself a huge Woody Allen fan until this, Purple Rose of Cairo. If you haven't seen it, do. If you have seen it, see it again. I very rarely watch movies twice, but this one I've watched more times than I can remember. It makes me smile!

Today's question:

What is your favorite mode of escapism?
