Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie from the year you turned 18. There were a few - Sneakers, Zentropa, Last of the Mohegans, The Crying Game, Highway 61 (one of my absolute deep cut favorites) but I gotta go with this

I'm sure this will be fine. New Yorkers have a famously well-developed sense of decorum when they are inconvenienced.
