Favorite movies

Tim Ferriss has shared some of his favorite movies during various episodes of his podcast:

1. A Prophet (Un prophète) - Tim mentions this French film about a young Middle Eastern kid's journey from the lowest to highest ranks within the Corsican mafia in a French prison 1.

2. 22 Bullets - Another French movie recommended to Tim, which he found intriguing, is about a mafia member who tries to retire but faces many obstacles 1.

3. The Empire Strikes Back - While not explicitly Tim's favorite, during an episode with Phil Libin, they both appreciate this as one of the best movies ever made 2.

In addition, during these discussions, Tim’s guests shared their favorites as well. For example, Noah Kagan cited "Commando" and recommended the documentary "The Jinx," which explores a real-life crime story 3.

Tim tends to enjoy movies with strong, dramatic storylines, especially those involving significant personal progression or intense action.
