Watching movies is a favorite pastime of mine. I especially love watching films produced outside the U.S. because they give me a taste of traveling in other countries and provide some insight into other cultures – and I don’t even have to leave my sofa. Whenever I feel homesick, I escape into a theater and I’m “home” for a little while.
