Hi Friends. As a special episode to wrap up Season 2 of My Movie Story, I'm sharing with you the stories behind my 3 films; My #1 All-Time Favourite Movie, The Film that Changed My Perspective on Myself and The Film I think Everyone MUST See. I've been wanting to make this episode for a while, so I'm very pleased to be sharing my special films with you. One is a classic thriller from a master director, the other about an oddball character who's passion and creativity knows no bounds, and a story about life and death, and the places in between. I hope you enjoy hearing about MY Movie Stories. Films featured include; "Psycho", "Rushmore" and "The Sixth Sense."
