“I would start with Modern Times which is one of the first films that I loved a lot and I could watch for very many times because it speaks to me on a lot of levels... I still like to watch this from time to time with my children, especially that moment when they bring this machine which is supposed to feed people while working. I find that to be a great moment especially because every five Seconds there is that thing that has to clear his mouth which I like a lot.”
