Really, most of these &#8220;favorite&#8221; things would likely change next week if you asked me again. And I notice there are a few more of these types of questions coming up that are just as elusive.<\/p>\n<p>But the first film that came to mind for this question is the Irish film <em>Once<\/em>, a wonderful blend of realism and music in an untidy indie-movie package. The actual ending isn&#8217;t on YouTube, and I wouldn&#8217;t recommend you watch it if it were, if you  haven&#8217;t already seen the film. Of course, that&#8217;s true of a lot of great endings &#8211; this is pretty much an inherently spoilery question! But anyway, the end of <em>Once<\/em> is not Hollywoodized in any way, but remains romantic in the truest sense of the word, and is the absolutely fitting way for the film to end. This trailer gets across the mood of the film nicely, even if it isn&#8217;t the end, and watching it gives me the same feeling I had watching the film itself, so it will have to do.<\/p>\n<div class=\"centered\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"550\" height=\"442\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/726SFblz9Lk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 50 Day Movie Challenge asks one question every day, to be answered by a few paragraphs and a clip, if possible.
